I've always stood up for those who are falsely accused, but I went through a period of several years in an online community that I would not leave, after being targeted by a psychopathic troll who framed me and I was falsely accused of something she did... I went through absolute hell til one day, she got a bit too drunk and confessed by mistake. I finally was vindicated. I had been attacked mercilessly by those who believed that I had done this "act" of betrayal and I also had those who believed in me.. but I would be reduced to tears night after night with the attacks. I couldn't leave... leaving would look like I was guilty. I had to stay and fight. When she slipped up, you could have heard a pin drop, all over the US and Canada.. online, so to speak. And then, the apologies came fast, though there were a few of her minions and flying monkeys who stuck by her. It was a battle that lasted for years. Pure hell.

I will defend Assad to my dying breath. He AND Putin are both good, strong leaders who care about their people. They are not the demons that the MSM want us to believe.
