Fighting will pause eventually. Whether Assad would be running the country by then is irrelevant. Russia is responsible for influencing the nation one way or another.

There are many cruel governments in the past, present and future. We like to imagine that they are all Bond Villains, but they are not. They are just your usual warlords. They can be dealed with peacefully.

I used to be worried about religious extremism. But then once I saw how religiously insane America is, I realised there is no point worrying about tiny countries in the Middle East. It's all a matter of prospective.
