Who would have predicted that replacing Assad with an genocidal Jihadist terror group backed by Isntreal would be bad for Syria.

I love the “his own people” thing, it’s such a fucked up little line.
One, it’s never applied to WW2 Germany. Hitler is never accused of “killing his own people,” I guess because Jews aren’t real Germans to liberals.
Two, like you said it’s so often just in regards to a civil war, of course they’re “his own people” everyone involved are his people!
Three, I don’t see why killing people of your country is worse than killing people of another country. In fact I’d argue that the second one is significantly worse!
States, even the best ones, do kill their own citizens sometimes. It happens, it’s an inherent part of being a state. Killing citizens of another country should basically never happen! Why should it!?
We live in a country that killed 1.5 million of its own people with plague, for money, before they stopped counting, and we were expected to suck it up and say thank you even before they started doing a genocide too.
