When is the last time Assad was losing? The timing is interesting considering Trump a short time ago talked about leaving Syria. I agree it's suspicious... it just doesn't make any strategic sense for Assad to do it.
That said, if we accept the Russian/Syrian/Infowars narrative that these attacks are all false flags... they don't seem to be effective. Obama refused to intervene militarily to fight Assad, Trump lobbed a few missiles at an empty airfield, and I don't think he's going to pull a Lindsey Graham now and destroy Assad's airforce.
Just for fun, who do you think is committing these false flags? The US backed rebels?
imo assad was on the losing side, when the IS was at its height and rebels controlled their fair share as well
never claimed it has to be active false flags operations
former poison gas attacks have been questioned altogether, pictures with "victims" getting oxygen, but there was no valve on the cylinder
people running around in normal standard street clothing after a supposed attack, treating victims, which would result in them being affected as well, which did not happen
the short abc-weapon training i had in the army was enough to figure that one out
from what we know so called rebels also had control of such weapons at some point and they could have released them to kill infidels, we all know how insane these people are
even accidents are possible or a depot got bombed
having the convenient timing in mind it could be us backed rebels as some people in the united states seem pretty desperate to keep going in syria
of course we dont know, but i will stick with the cui bono thinking and assad cant possibly be that stupid

Assad isn't attempting to stop the suffering. He barrel bombed hospitals, used chemical weapons, etc.
The Syrian conflict started when Assad used his army to attack peaceful protests in Damascus. He commanded his troops to fire on unarmed peaceful demonstrators, drawing first blood.
This would be his baseline behavior. This would just be a continuation of an ongoing pattern of behavior. It would be more strange if he stopped committing war crimes.
And even if he has "won" in the sense that his throne is safe and he is going nowhere as dictator of Syria, he still hasn't been able to seal the deal. He has to be getting desperate to end this...his friends won't be covering his war crimes for much longer.
He will end up in The Hague. But it won't be until he ceases being useful to Russia.
the conflict started when the west decided they needed to dispose of assad for some reason
