As you wish....
We know that Obama gave multiple speeches calling for regime change in Syria in 2010 and 2011 and then secretly authorized the CIA to fund, arm and train opposition forces within Syria. Much about the CIA operation (code-named Timber Sycamore) intended to topple the Assad regime remains classified, but we do know the CIA funneled huge numbers of guns and a great deal of money to the Islamist groups fighting a civil war with the Assad regime, and we know that CIA operatives trained Islamist fighters in Syria, and we know the civil war between the regime and the Islamist militias destroyed villages and towns across Syria, and resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths.
And we know Obama specifically gave the go ahead for this secret CIA operation in 2012, and expanded it's scope in 2013. We know Obama ordered US military forces back into Iraq in 2014, and sent US forces into Syria in 2015. We know that Obama severely restricted the scale of US airstrikes against ISIS in Syria out of fear of causing environmental damage. We know the wars against ISIS in Iraq and Syria were unresolved when Obama left office, forcing his successor to deal with the mess he created.
I'm sure there is more to blame Obama for in the Syrian disaster, but thats all I can think of right off the top of my head.
Cheers!
