Words are not actions. I was against military intervention in 2013 (and so was Trump).
Thanks for agreeing with me about Obama's empty rhetoric in this matter, as you are providing no defense for his actions.
Russia and Iran did not have Assad's back in 2013?
Assad has not been cowed by Trump's action, thanks to Russia and Iran having their back, as from the title of this thread.

It's not a civil war, it's a proxy war being fought by evil heart eating "rebels" and Russian & Syrian armed forces and a Western coalition backed by Saudi Arabia & Israel.
This is a war against Shiites by Zionist Wahhabists using Sunnis.
There is no civil war. That's a Western mandated narrative.
The people of Syria want Al Assad.
Outsider rebels not even from Syria want to make it part of their Wahhabi Caliphate.
And he took no actions. Which is why we're in the situation we are today.

So, we should have invaded Syria in 2013 and everything would be all better now.
I disagree. So did Trump.
Yes. Because you keep talking about what Obama didn't do in 2013.
You keep bringing up 2013.

Correct.
Is assassination an effective approach? I don't think so. I don't think the military would be cowed.

What's the problem ?
The only states allowed to exist in the middle east are Islamic opec oligarchs?
So many threats? How many?
Because Obama didn't do in 2013 after so many empty threats, Trump now did in 2017
