Don’t be obtuse the similarities between the the Syrian Arab spring and the maidan uprising are quite obvious if you actually know what either are.

Ukraine was not a dictatorship unlike Syria. Maidan succeeded and Russia attacked both openly in Crime and with 'rebels' in the East. Western support was limited till the next invasion by Russia.

Syria was a dictatorship. After the Arab spring the US started arming islamic militias and attacking Syrian forces. A couple of years later and we had fucking ISIL devastating a big part of Syria and that is when the immigration crisis from Syria peaked, not at the start of the civil war. The US kept supplying the 'moderate' islamic groups even though it was known that a lot of their equipment ended up on ISIL.

Do you really believe that any of the foreign interventions in Syria has benefited the Syrians? Do you believe it was meant to?
