The blame falls entirely on Obama.
In 2014, the Obama Administration said Syria's chemical weapons were destroyed.
LMFAO
Thanks John Kerry!!!
Today the last 8% of declared chemical weapons were removed from Syria. Great work done by all involved

Nothing funny about what is happening over there and you failed to address my point. No doubt Obama did not address Syria effectively. Is he to blame for Assad's atrocities- no. That's on Assad. Question is now, how will Drumph address the issue? Read his previous tweets on Syria. What will be different now?
Here are Drumph's thoughts on Syria....hmm
June 15, 2013: We should stay the hell out of Syria, the "rebels" are just as bad as the current regime. WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS?ZERO
August 29, 2013: @walaa_3ssaf No, dopey, I would not go into Syria, but if I did it would be by surprise and not blurted all over the media like fools.
August 29, 2013: What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.
September 1, 2013: President Obama's weakness and indecision may have saved us from doing a horrible and very costly (in more ways than money) attack on Syria!
September 2, 2013: If the U.S. attacks Syria and hits the wrong targets, killing civilians, there will be worldwide hell to pay. Stay away and fix broken U.S.
September 3, 2013: What I am saying is stay out of Syria.
September 5, 2013: The only reason President Obama wants to attack Syria is to save face over his very dumb RED LINE statement. Do NOT attack Syria,fix U.S.A.
September 5, 2013: AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA - IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!
September 7, 2013: President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your "powder" for another (and more important) day!
September 9, 2013: Don't attack Syria - an attack that will bring nothing but trouble for the U.S. Focus on making our country strong and great again!

Sometimes in foreign affairs the US is left with two bad choices. Remove Saddam, or let him stay? "Do something" did not succeed there.
Remove Assad, or let him stay (circa 2013)? Doing nothing failed, miserably.
Now Russia is entrenched in the region and the situation is even more complicated.
Several years have passed. What do we do now?
