I'd rather not. If what I am reading about assad's mass killing prisons is true I don't see what hope syria really has for a future either way.
Cripes! Hey, your proxy war with Russia failed! Get over it and stay away!

Russia will make them pay if they violate the sovereign state of the Syrian Arab Rupublic. Hats of to Assad, Putin, and Abdullah of Jordan! Death to the Turkish funded terrorist mercenaries!
I most certainly will not raise my hat to that pig Assad. But he is not our problem anymore. Putin I want us to make nice with but also keep at arms length, he is not to be trusted. Putin runs Russia like a syndicate.

Last I heard Putin wasn't funding "opposition" terrorists in our backyard and violating our borders and airspace.

Has anyone in Washington learned a single thing in the last 15 years???
No he is just trying to rebuild the Warsaw pact is all. Plus he sponsors all manner of e crime and various other forms of graft. And if you are a neighboring country he will want control of your oil distribution network and when you refuse he will force your acquiescence by cutting off your oil supply altogether. Yup, he is a great guy. Just because our government are asshole doesn't mean Putin isn't. But again there is more to be gained by thawing our relations with Russia, we need the breathing room.

The Defense Department might propose that the US send conventional ground combat forces into northern Syria for the first time to speed up the fight against ISIS, CNN has learned. It's possible that you may see conventional forces hit the ground in Syria for some period of time," one defense official told CNN. But the official emphasized that any decision is ultimately up to President Donald Trump
CNN has learned from an unconfirmed source that the pentagon MAY propose to put boots on the ground in Syria. WTF? This is not news this is weaponized propaganda .
The US is not going into Syria period.

Exactly - "unconfirmed source" (read "Obola stay-behind agent"). "may" (read as "who the fuck really knows? - but I'll make some shit up anyway.").
The Deep State is digging deeper into their own shit-pile everyday. Too bad these fuckers never show their faces in public, they need the "Black Bloc" treatment..

Trump should first find his enemies in the beltway illegally leaking information, then as Reagan with Assad's father, let Assad clean up his country.
For those that have been brainwashed by the media, the nutbags being killed by Assad are radical islamists, they were enraged that women had rights, the whole "Syrian Civil War" was pushed by a pack of lies in the West.
Then there is blowback, now young European girls are being raped by Syrian refugees,,,way to go NATO, let us go destroy another functioning country for no good reason........................humans suck.

It's a complete and total disaster. Russia has no intention of resolving the conflict. What they want is more fighting and instability. This will continue the influx of immigrants to europe, further destabilizing these countries. Russia is playing the long game here. Putin brilliantly exploited obama's cowardice and stupidity regarding a "red line" for syria.
For western europe to survive, the flow of immigrants must not only stop but be reversed. To do this however would require a significant military presence in the region to shut down ISIS for good. This also runs the risk of a military engagement with russian forces. No one in the west has the stomach or even the resources to do this. So russia keeps the situation going at a slow boil, ensuring more desperate people are moving to western europe. A complete and total shitshow.

Russia has been Allies with Syria since the 1950s . Russia has been killing more Isis fighters than the US . The US is backing foreign fighters ( Kurds Turks Iraqis, Saudis) to overthrow Assad. The refugee crisis has been created as a Casus belli for war . They already tried WMDS and failed. In order to justify a war , you need to bring the people onboard. the best way, the only way , to do that ,is to appeal to their emotions of pity, hate, and fear. After all, who wants to see dead babies?

Last I knew the Kurds hated the Turks and considerd them land thieves (which they are; the entire middle east was mostly Christian at one time, but that doesn't really have anything to do with the kurds). The Kurds want to eastablish a separtate nation called Kurdistan.

I hope you're right. Trump got talked into the Yemen raid, though. If the Pentagon does propose this, I can see him bending.

Yes that's correct. they are separate groups fighting against the same people for different reasons . I did not mean they were fighting along side each other. The Turks are not officially fighting against Assad. I was only referring to the separate Turkish mercenary groups.(not Turkey as a nation.)
There are people in the united states who want a separate nation too. That doesn't give them any legal justification to attack Syrians. (only that they want a piece of Syria for themselves. )
Who has been backing the Kurds since 1990? the US . The US promised the Kurds a piece of Iraq as their homeland if they would support the coalition in 91. they supported US troops up until present day. They are fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and they are fighting the Syrian army as US proxies . Wars are expensive. they cannot maintain any kind of force without US help .
The Saudis are also sending in waves of jihadis to overthrow Assad , How they get along with the Kurds is something I cant say for sure at this time, but I do believe they are not friendly to each other .

I'm not saying I'm for the Kurd "rebels". I was just saying I don't think the Syrian Republic or the Turks trust them, whoever's side they are on by pragmatic reasons.
