Putin actually has a point when it comes to Syria. Assad's support in Syria is actually quite strong among his people, which western media tend to forget or simply try to hide. I have several Syrian friends here in Sweden who support Assad, saying; "Under Assads rule before the insurgent, Syria was a stable country, with economic growth, and several different religions could live side by side thank's to his tight grip on security".
It's true that he is a ruthless dictator, but what has come in his place (where he has lost control) is far worse.
This is a war the democratic movement in Syria simply can't win.
