Assad the Alawite(shit religion) fake Baathist dictator who worked with Iran against another Arab state vs the Ottoman wannabe Georgian that used Gulen to rise to power only to then betray him.
That's all there is there leader wise. I'm talking about the SAA and troops, not those 2.
Assad Alawite... Let's be honest btw us two... they aren't muslim... or maybe not believing in the Quran is also a form of "being muslim". (Mainstream Shia don't even see them as true Muslims, let alone Sunnis...)
ASSAd a Dictator, who succeeded to another Dictator ,that is his Father... Who for his Throne...Pushed his own country to despair and Death... With, to this Day, 500K Casualities and Almost 8Mil External Refugees and 5Mil Internal refugees. AND keeps on going.
Erdogan, a Sunni Muslim Politician and what comes with it Good or Bad. I don't know why you put Ottoman or Roots in it... but if you wish, so be it.
No one is Perfect... No Muslim is... and no Muslim will.
So yes, My choice is made. Btw the Two..;and if you can't see which one is better, then I can't do anything about it.
Then about your SAA... So... US soldiers ACTIONS in Iraq/Afghanistan are GOOD but President of the US (Past and Present) are BAD?
So let's me remind you who are SAA... They are ASSad ARMY... those 500K death aren't from ASSad own hands...Or maybe we've got a Superman on this planet without knowing about it?
SAA is made of General/Commander etc... Loyal to ASSad and Obey to every ASSAd order. And most of those in Power comes from ASSad Families /Clan
So...No... SAA isn't different... They don't give a f*ck when they drop barrel bombs on innocents... or Pushed their own country into a ocean of Blood...Simple as that.
You wouldn't wish to live under his rule... so don't wish what you don't to others for your own selfish "grandiose" views...
