Adding to the spectacle, we have westerners displeased with a Chinese platform siphoning off too much of their direct aid, which is being sent to displaced Syrians who likely wouldn't be in this situation were it not for the US.[1][1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore

The US was one of a dozen countries which supported Syrian citizens standing up for human rights against a murderous dictator's violent suppression of the Arab Spring. The pro-freedom Syrians would likely have been successful with less violence if not for Russian backing of the Assad regime.
Granted, without US support the rebels would have just been rounded up and killed by Assad without the conflict really reaching the point of civil war, so if you squint at it enough, ya you can kinda see that technically some of the displaced people wouldn't be displaced, they'd just still be living a terrible oppressed life under Assad.
