I'm sure they'd all prefer conscription in their exiled liege's royal army...

Is there a reason you can't just make a single post?

Does the USA use drones in anti-Assad strikes?

Don't have to be anti-Assad strikes to hit Syrian children.

Oh, I don't deny that US or allied strikes have hit civilians. That's a sad reality of war. The difference is that those are accidents. At worst, it's negligence. Though that's of course doesn't really matter for the person getting a bomb on his or her head.

I use phone it is hard to get all the quotes inside.

And Assad is hitting civilians intentionally right? Both sides hit them and are rather careless about it, US backed rebels also use civilians as meat shields and hostages.

Border clashes between SDF and the Syrian Government today Coalition and Russian airforce are supposedly extremly close to eachother.
(Sources are weak but clashes between SDF and the Government have been confirmed.)

Also South Korea have announced closure of North Korean nuclear test site in May as agreed with South Korea.

They're testing how far the Coalition will go in protecting the SDF. Though apparantly the SDF managed to defeat pro-Assad forces already:

Supposedly the mountain that the North Koreans used to test their Nukes collapsed, so really it is not surprising that they are "giving up their nuclear test site" as it was rendered fairly useless already anyway.

The Syrian army shell cities with civilians inside. It’s pretty common knowledge if you know anything about the Syrian war.

Because rebels keep civilians as hostages inside. What is Syrian army supposed to do,  oh okay I guess we will just let this city be? You just don't seem to look at this realistically, you look at Syrian war with some humanitarian democratic idealism not practial logic.

"The SOHR attributed 83,500 civilian deaths to the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and its allies, including Russia; 7,000 to Syrian rebels and allied forces; 3,700 to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL); 920 to the U.S.-led coalition; and 500 to Turkey."

UK based organisation, also doesn't really include the fact that rebels use hostages that Syria than kills with air strikes.

War has its own rules, Toffee
It happens from either side and they always cry that the other side kills civis.
Whatever, sometimes people die in war y'know.

Exactly I don't think you find many people that would complain about allies bombing Nazi German civilians in cities.

No, that was defiantly awful & people should've been punished for it.
