Syrian regime allies

Don't you like it when Western groupies of the Syrian armed groups list the supporters of the Syrian regime ("renewed support from its allies Hezbollah, Iran, and Russia"), while failing to mention that the Syrian armed groups receive support from UK, US, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, etc?  How cute.  And I like that the writer is appalled at the disregard of ancient sites by the regime forces while not saying a word about the same (or far worse) treatment at the hands of the armed groups.  This is what is noticeable among Syrian armed groups groupies: they are compelled by virtue of the Western consensus to not voice one word of criticisms against the armed groups.  Not one word.  Such is the consensus.
