Definitely disagreeable with us politically lol

But I think they are probably more like what would be acceptable in that part of the world, compared to who Russia and Iran wanted there

Also he's a military leader, he did not take over the country nor was he "installed". They pushed the Syrian army out of the city and removed Assad. That's where we are now.

Now he leads one of I don't know how many groups who will want to take control (and I don't know who, if anyone, benefits the people rather than the West or Russia/Iran)
