Russia and the Assad Regime resumed its brutal campaign after a 10-day ceasefire that allowed thousands of civilians to leave the last opposition stronghold in Ghouta, a suburb outside of Damascus. Ghouta is also where Assad first used chemical weapons on civilians in August of 2014. It’s where Obama drew his now infamous redline that he never enforced.

This comes on the heels of President Trump indicating that he is ready to leave Syria. People will question if this is a test for Trump. It absolutely is. The body count will rise and if the president doesn’t respond, they will test him in other ways such as taking another stab at Deir Ezzor where mercenaries loyal to Assad were humiliated.
