in truth, Russia and Iran played a nice game of chess by withdrawing, because the Americans thought there would be a war of attrition and they fell into their own trap. We will soon see how the so-called liberated Syria will unfold.

Putin is the man of word, once he promised, he never breaks them. He respects his words and never backstab like the warmongering US government.

Dear HT, could you clarify the definition of authoritarianism? Isn't Starmer a authoritarian PM of England?

Assad is alive and well. Long live President Putin.

Compare what 🇷🇺 done for Assad versus what 🇺🇸 did to the Afghan govt in 2021.

They are not all "rebels", Golani is a terrorist who cut American heads in Iraq under El Kaida and served Baghdadi in Syria. Doesn't that tell enough for the future of the new Syria, already aggressed by Israel in the south and Turkey in the north??

[aartisaan]

Check mate Mr Putin outsmarts them once again .

[jocelynyared]

Assad is done and Putin is just a good friend not only to him but to Syria. A peaceful regime change was necessary, and that was the greatest achievement of the time. Putin sees the advantages of Not destroying Assad's enemies, who may do better for Syria and play a scourge to the West. Great player.

[rjohansen]

"Putin’s actions send a strong message that Russia will continue to support its allies."🤣" Granting asylum to Assad protects russia’s military bases and influence in the ME."🤣 "…. Reasserted russia’s dominance in the region"🤣
