When it comes to Syria, I have never made it a secret that yes, I'm emotionally involved, and indeed: that I am biased. The introduction to my book
Syrian Conflagration clearly says:
That said, I would like to stress that my reporting about this conflict is not only certain to contain mistakes, which are all mine, but is also biased. I find there is no doubt about causes for this war; no doubt about who turned it into an inter-ethnic and inter-religious strife; and even less doubt about who is prolonging the bloodshed and agony and turning large parts of beautiful Syria into a wasteland through internationalising this conflict.
Ever since, I remain staunchly against - and thus biased - the Assad regime, against all the US messing around in Syria, against the IRGC presence, against Russian military intervention, against US support for terrorist organization PKK/PYD/YPG, against Turkish, Qatari, Saudi, Kuwaiti meddling, against Iranian and Russian support for terrorist organizations IRGC, Hezbollah, PFLP-GC, PLA, Daesh/IS/ISIS/ISIL, against Daesh, JAN/JFS/HTS etc., etc., etc.
From my standpoint, the situation is therefore crystal clear, and I've got all of my reasoning in this regards well-supported.
And you?
