The EU has repeatedly stated that the regime bears the primary responsibility for the conflict and that it's actions fuel extremism and undermine any potential political transition. The EU has also regularly called for the regime to stop targeting civilians, halt air strikes, artillery attacks and put an immediate end to all violence.
In the Council Conclusions of 17 October 2016, adopted in response to a serious deterioration in the situation on the ground particularly in the city if Aleppo, the EU strongly condemned the disproportionate and deliberate targeting of civilians and humanitarian and healthcare personnel by the regime and it allies, and reiterated its firm belief that there can be no military solution to the conflict, but that a political solution must be sought. The EU also called for those responsible for war crimes in Syria to be brought to justice including by referring the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court.
It has been become a fashionable idea to take part in the war in Syria. Since Trump is into pretending to be fashionable he wants to go there too, though for the recent years US has been nagging and nagging about a "political solution".
If those guilty of war crimes were prosecuted now we would immediately get rid of Kremlin, Assad and Khameini, and if we used a bit of prediction we might as well prosecute Trump for some very bad moral intentions against human rights.
So Russia has manuvered it that all those killing in Syria are part of the conflict, those who they don't like to promote are "killing the wrong people" and those who don't take part in it militarily don't matter.
Looks to me like you drank the AP Kool-Aid. The AP is lying.
"He used chemical weapons on his people"
How many times has that trick been pulled just before some hare-brained "regime-change" plot?
Saddam Hussein
Ghaddafi
Assad
No, the problem is the rebels and the US (under Obama) funding and arming
the rebels.
The Turks aren't helping either. Assad and Russia are establishing safe zones for the people.
Syrians support Assad.

Syrian election shows depth of popular support for Assad, even among Sunni majority
It's not the Syrian army beheading Christian children, in fact they're losing life and limb to save them.
It's the rebels taking over towns and committing mass murder.

Turkey has been "creating a safe zone in Syria" for at least six years. Any body seen it? Let me know.

-erdoganthe next step is to establish a no-fly zone. Then they (the Syrians) will be able to establish their national army and feel themselves safe

UN High Commissioner for refugees Filippo Grandi was clear "frankly, I don't see in Syria the conditions to create" successful safe zones. "Let us not waste time planning safe zones that will not be set up because they will not be safe enough for people to go back. Let us concentrate on making peace so that everything becomes safe.
Assad also has rejected Trump's idea of safe zones.
Yeah, "safe zones".
