  • Gabbard met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2017 and two years later she said he was "not the enemy" of the U.S.

The article discusses Tulsi Gabbard's perspective on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict in Aleppo. Gabbard, a former U.S. Representative and presidential candidate, has been notably critical of U.S. involvement in Syria. She has argued against the narrative that Assad is the primary source of violence in Syria, suggesting instead that the conflict is more complex with various insurgent groups, including those backed by foreign powers, contributing significantly to the violence. Gabbard has called for a focus on defeating terrorist groups like ISIS rather than regime change in Syria. Her views have stirred controversy, with critics accusing her of downplaying Assad's atrocities, while her supporters see her stance as a call for a more nuanced understanding of the Syrian civil war. This perspective has been highlighted as insurgents, including some backed by the U.S., have made strategic gains in Aleppo, intensifying the debate over U.S. foreign policy in the region.
