Do you trust the rebels in Syria that just toppled Assad?

[noname223]

I think mainstream media is a little bit too optimistic. I don't trust them at all. I think it is good that Assad is gone (also a massive hit to Russia and Putin) but it is likely that chaos will erupt sooner or later.

I have some "faith" that they might keep everything in place. But I also have doubts I think that there is some bias towards the idea that all is go efficiently but I think that it's better to be 50/50 about it. Until they actually put plans to rebuild the country, put in place structures especially in terms of law which considers rights for all, and so on. We just have to wait and see. I'm also a bit suspicious of external players in Syria, it's kind of sad how interference from different blocs are already involved and trying to get some control instead of letting the Syrian people have their own sovereignty and define their own paths and partners.

The new Syrian government is being really cryptic about what they're actually going to do unfortunately~ :(
Personally, I was hoping Assad was going to win because he led a stable Syrian government that repelled ISIS, opposed terrorists, and protected minorities like Shiites and Christians while these new guys had even worked with terrorists~ >_< It's not like Assad was Saddam Hussein and killed hundreds of thousands~ Not to mention, these new guys are connected with Turkey, a country with is increasingly adopting state Islamism! :/ I don't trust them whatsoever, and there is no indication at whether they'll be good or bad~ However, I do hope for the best~ :)

No, I don't trust the rebels. That being said Assad was evil. There's no win for Syria in this I think. But we'll have to just wait and see.
