    I am also limited in my understanding but I think there is a lot of animosity towards Assad government in Syria and also other places such as Lebanon and Gaza due to his perceived and verifiable inaction assisting the resistance. Other specific reasons for animosity I’m not knowledgeable enough to speak on but I’m aware they exist so it isn’t unsurprising to hear that some or many Syrian people are happy that he is gone.

    I think, and really I am trying to grapple with stuff and learn about things as well so I’m not too sure, but I think biggest issue with Assad gov being toppled is that firstly and most importantly it will once again bring great instability and surely violence to the Syrian people, but will also greatly reduce the capacity for Hezbollah to be resupplied who I understand are in a pretty critical state after hot war with the Zionists. In addition to that you have factors such as Russian footholds in the region being compromised which I’m sure will be abused by US/zionist forces in ways I have not yet thought of.

    It remains to be seen what HTS does and how things play out with the other factions but I do not see any way that this is a good thing. I find it hard to believe that HTS are not aligned with the americans/zionists, but hopefully at least they are reasonable with the Syrian people and as few suffer as possible.
