How does Trump-Russia Collusion as Nonsense/Smear Tactics automatically = "Assad really did gas his own people"
Also, I am surprised someone would say they hope the US President is treasonous. Unless you dislike America and want to see it get dealt a bad blow.
I don't understand where you're coming from with this, or how you came to some of the conclusions you did (like the example I mentioned in my 1st sentence)

Putin's major goal in Syria is to keep pushing out refugees to flood and weaken the west. He's not our friend in any way, shape or form.
We also remember certain episodes from the history of the Soviet Union. Social experiments for export, attempts to push for changes within other countries based on ideological preferences, often led to tragic consequences and to degradation rather than progress. It seemed, however, that far from learning from others' mistakes, everyone just keeps repeating them, and so the export of revolutions, this time of so-called democratic ones, continues. It would suffice to look at the situation in the Middle East and North Africa, as has been mentioned by previous speakers. Certainly political and social problems in this region have been piling up for a long time, and people there wish for changes naturally. But how did it actually turn out?
Rather than bringing about reforms, an aggressive foreign interference has resulted in a brazen destruction of national institutions and the lifestyle itself. Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster. Nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have caused the situation, do you realize now what you've done?
But I am afraid no one is going to answer that.
Indeed, policies based on self-conceit and belief in one's exceptionality and impunity have never been abandoned. It is now obvious that the power vacuum created in some countries of the Middle East and North Africa through the emergence of anarchy areas, which immediately started to be filled with extremists and terrorists.

Are these the words of a man who is the enemy of society?

Russia is actually the voice of reason. But nobody listens because it contradicts the narrative our western leaders want us to believe.

I never said Russia and Putin are not corrupt. My Uncle has business dealings with them and has told me of how things work if you want to deal with the Russian people.
But
Russians are fairly open and obvious about said corruption. The west however is all secret handshakes behind closed doors kind of corruption.
So, as you say, they are about equal. Which means that we need to listen, really listen to what these people say and figure out who is telling the truth.

I feel like there could be a few more options than the ones you're providing. Probably better options
