i'm sorry. the "facts" on which you base your opinions are wrong, therefore your opinions are wrong.
i'm also not a leftist, i'm just not an authoritarian prick
And which facts are these you speak of again you go on a vague rant against my "false opinions" yet you fail to specify which part of my statement is not factual resorting to ad hominem attacks rather then having an actual argument.
Also, responding to Jairo I'm not trying to be contentious this is an open political thread where we're discussing our opinions. I support Annoying Orange for a number of reasons if you want to get into that I'm fine with that. Having contrarian beliefs doesn't make me pretentious I believe in the democratic system as well...
And yes, Assad is way more secular and the lesser of evils in the grand scheme of things. Would you rather prefer Syria to be controlled by "Moderate Rebels" and Jihadists who would instill Sharia and kill all the Christian and Alawite minorities? Russia has only protective interests in the middle east (Assad) whereas America continues to defend countries like Saudi Arabia that openly stone to death dissidents, homoloveuals, and women and fund terror in Syria WHILE taking in no Syrian refugees even though they're helping the instability in Syria...
My ideal candidate would have been Gary Johnson but he won't win so...
