Assad is recovering control of Syria, mostly ending the 7-year civil war.

Although Assad was a butcher, the Arab rebels were more or less Islamist and could hardly deserve support against him. Everyone except Sunnis was in danger of being killed by them.

"Recycling" of plastic can mean putting it in a landfill.
