Reductio ad Trumpum.

Future history:

"Assad was on the verge of victory, but being pure evil that he was he just really wanted to gas people, no matter how irrational, or counter-productive his generals kept telling him it would be. If it wasn't for that fatal flaw, maybe Syria could have won against the last few brave freedom fighters selflessly guarding the people of Idlib. Assad gassed a hospital of extreme strategic importance full of orphan children, young women and babies killing 47. Twenty five brave white helmets happened to be close by and caught the whole thing on camera. The white helmets then risked their lives trying to save the women and children but were too late. Luckily none of the white helmets were injured. The world would not stand for this outrage from such a man of pure evil. 137,000 evil Assad supporters died in the invasion that followed."
