Assad overthrow would lead to Syria (apart from horrific ethnic cleansing of all non Sunnis) becoming an enormous Saudi supported jihadist base. The Chechens, Turkmens, Uighurs would return to Russia and China and spread violence and death - a death knell for the Silk Road.
Barrell bombs is a propaganda trick Regular bombs are worse.
What actually happened was a large jihadist offensive that took several towns, incl Khan Touman in southern Aleppo, and thus broke the cease fire. This was not widely reported in MSM that broadly prefers the jihadists.
