More people are openly expressing total disgust with Assad

John J. Xenakis in Generational Dynamics writes that the US and Russia decided to cooperate on a ceasefire in Syria which had, like previous attempts, zero chance of working because Assad, who used  Sarin gas, chemical weapons and barrel bombs against Syrians, said that he intended to continue.

Assad, the writer adds referring to him as "genocidal monster", is beyond belief in his depraved psychopathy. Nothing is surprising except these trolls selling their souls every day to glorify an evil monster just to get paid a few dollars a day.

Western officials have always remained "cautious" about criticizing Assad, because they hoped that if they were nice to him, he would stop having his warplanes kill sleeping children in their dormitories. But, the writer believes, anyone who has been nice to Assad has never been anything but a useful idiot, providing cover to Assad for more atrocities.

But now, after regime warplanes struck the aid convoy, officials seem more willing to criticize Assad. The writer lists some opinions starting with US State Department spokesman said to the BBC: "For so many years now, for five years, it’s been the regime who has really, really perpetrated the worst brutality on their own people. It’s been the regime dropping barrel bombs and chlorine on its own people. It’s been the regime that’s been besieging towns like Aleppo, starving people, refusing to let medicine get in. The regime has been by far the worst violator of the cessation of hostilities."

While France’s president Hollande said: Syria is now a shame, a stain for the international community. To accept that there is a city ... where the population is starving, with humanitarian convoys attacked, with chemical weapons used and with children who become victims every day — it’s the responsibility of the entire world."

Ban Ki-moon said the following to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday: "Powerful patrons that keep feeding the war also have blood on their hands. Present in this hall today are representatives of governments that have ignored, facilitated, funded, participated, or even planned and carried out atrocities, inflicted by all sides of the Syria conflict against Syrian civilians. Just when we think it can’t get any worse the bar of depravity sinks lower. Many groups have killed many innocents -- but none more so than the ."

Xenakis concludes by wondering: Why is anyone even surprised that Assad blew up the aid convoy? Assad has repeatedly made clear that he wanted to siege, starve and kill all the civilians in Aleppo.

Assad has repeated made it clear that he wants to kill all the "terrorists" -- by which he means all the Sunni Muslim civilians, whom he considers to be cockroaches to be exterminated.
