Is a tankie upset that Assad's either going to be strung up or smuggled into exile by year's end? The right panel being wrong doesn't mean that Assad's dictatorship doesn't deserve to collapse.

I remember tankies posting these mintpressnews comics against Ukraine all the time back when I haven't had them blocked.
Not supporting ISIS makes you a tankie now? If you do not know what the word means it's best not to use it.
The rebel groups have openly stated they are allied with Israel and America
Syrian rebel commander: Israel, opposition 'fighting a common enemy'
Commander of the rebel forces in Aleppo, Abu Obdo, in a special interview with i24NEWS that 'We are fighting against a common enemy. The enemy is the criminal Iranian regime and all its branches'
"We look at Israel and the US, with the arrival of President Donald Trump, and we have a lot of respect and sympathy for them, for their actions against Iran – the country that leads terrorism in the region and all over the world."
Not supporting ISIS
Ah yes, I forgot that Syria outside of the SDF's control is just Assad and ISIS and nobody else. Totally slipped my mind that it's not pockets of ISIS control in the southeast opening up in the power vacuum created by Assad tripping over his own dick to rush troops back to Damascus; it's that actually, all the miscellaneous rebel groups that are routing the wildly incompetent SAA are just ISIS acting as American proxies. That sure clears things up. Damn, I understand why tankies are coping so hard now; too bad Mr. Sarin Gas himself is going to be executed or (unlikely best case for him) in exile within a couple weeks then. :(
'Look, we rebranded Al Qaeda and ISIS into HTS and some other factions and we call them moderate rebels now.. Also we send them weapons and give them training. And they openly say they heckin' love Israel and America and are allied with them. If you dont support them you are a tankie!'
HTS is more aligned to Turkey than the US. The SDF keeps the ISIS chaps locked up in Hasakah with overwatch from US hellfire missiles.
The YPJ and the YPG are the terrorists that the US supports.
Turkey is aligned with the US. They are in NATO.
You can't sell me on Turkey thinking Al Qaeda is a superior neighbor to Assad.
Let them fight.
