Skepticism About Genuine Regime Change and Liberation
A commenter argues that Syrians have lived under Assad's regime for 60 years and that recent changes do not represent genuine liberation, citing the example of Idlib remaining under Turkish-Russian control for 14 years despite negotiations by multiple powers, and concluding that Syria was 'handed over' in 11 days rather than genuinely freed.
How people are reacting
One commenter expresses deep skepticism about the authenticity of change, arguing that Syria's recent political transitions have been externally managed rather than genuinely liberating, with limited real improvement in freedom or sovereignty.
Emotions: skepticism, disillusionment, bitterness
How it's framed
- Apparent change as externally engineered
- Decades of oppression as ongoing despite political shifts
- International negotiations as tool of control
