Opinion of Bashar Assad

Obviously an uber-HP. ISIS doesn't change that.

^^^^

"Lesser evil" people can go f**k themselves.

Yes clearly the citizens of USSR should have done their best to sabotage the Red Army, while it fought Germany.

In the real world the lesser evil is always better, and while Assad and his regime is horrible, at least it's still better than a bunch of slave holding, genocidal, pillaging, marauding rapists.

Terrible. I don't think we should be interested in propping a fake stability in the Middle East which only leads to further issues downstream.

Yes we should do our best to help the genocide of 30-40% of the Syrian population on the way.

More seriously USA are not propping up fake stability in Syria, USA and its allies (including the European one, but especially the Middle Eastern ones) are doing their best in destabilise Syria. If we didn't supported the rebels  to greater and lesser degree, the regime would likely have crushed them by now, and a lot fewer people would be dead and ISIS would still be a small terrorist group in Iraq.
