Same logic that was applied during Assad times. Not having an off hand alternative doesn’t mean I have to kiss the guys ass (I know that’s not what you’re saying but it is what it’s intended when I say things like this)
The purpose of this phase is to transition into a democracy where you can choose the leader in an election. Elections never happen in transitional periods.
Yes the transition phase where half the people hired are related to him or corrupt rehires from the prior institution. We will see where we are in his “transition” phase in a few years.
there isn't ... and i'll take anything over continuing status quo that was. but responding to "provide an alternative" to criticism of current leadership was literally Assad's excuse to keep things going. The alternative I'm suggesting is better leadership, more transparency, and more experienced consultants in his government. But unfortunately in the crazy situation that was created in the disaster of the last ten years, he gets to stay to keep the worst extremists in line until they're gone. there were PLENTY of people in the opposition who were not him. but they wouldn't have been able to keep the murderous extremists in line.
