Technically they did save him by flying him to Moscow.

2:41 let me explain this to you they are already there disguised as rebels and they only fight wars where they have 100 % surety of winning. They never fight direct wars but indirectly fight at most willingly as they could.

[DawudSandstorm]

A better question is if Russia even can save Assad, considered how badly mauled his army is.

[nuqwestr]

Russia save Syria? No. Assad just left for Moscow. Natasha is wrong, Russia pulling out of port, too.

[TheBenrogue]

I think this post can come down now. Although it was funny to hear the "expert" senior fellow Natasha Hall say, "Without a doubt (Russia) will come to the rescue." Pretty faces can make stupid talking heads, can't they?

[LittleStar]

It looks like Russia really did not expect when they secretly helped Hamas that the event would spread to Syria..

[lameiraangelo]

The bigger questions are who these rebels are and who is funding them?

Note: Make sure you don't fund your future enemies.

[nuqwestr]

Natasha, does "end of suffering in Gaza" include a hostage release? Does it include the unconditional surrender of Hamas?

[Reina.Nijinsky]

Attention ALL Syrian 🇸🇾 refugees: especially the ones in the United States 🇺🇸 feel free to leave and help rebuild ur country! Byee 👋🏼

[SilentStorm_]

Putin couldn’t have bailed him out even if he wanted too… Russia as a military threat to others is coming to an end… hopefully.
Russia needs a better leader💯

[youngcoder]

Why no Iranian force actually coming then?

[cappiece]

They already have. Hes now living big in Russia

[somaratneka]

Being a humen of this world i must have rights to protect the
World and must hsve rights to express our common ideas. All humen beings never live on this earth temporary and some day every one have to leave this earth and no one live forever so everyone should be helped to others every humen being should not greedy to the world ti is a big foolish ness of every one so Gods bless to all humen beings live on this earth

[CristianoRonaldo-fnrr]

To be an enemy of Putin is dangerous, but to be friend of Putin is fatal

[nuqwestr]

"Hell to pay" was about American hostages. They bias is overwhelming and obvious, Natasha even slipped and said "Trumper" with a "smirk". Natasha, is Tel-Aviv "occupied"? Please say the quiet part out loud.

[stischer]

Answer: No. Natasha is ludicrous. How did she end up at the CSIS? DEI?

[dallasdandy]

I just hate when leaders put an entire people suffering and living in deplorable condition and when justice knocks at their door they just pack and leave and continue to live a good life in exile like nothing ever happened.😢

[metalspree]

The fear in her tones says it all. Say the truth for a change

[SaguaroStash]

Natasha Hill is a pathetic correspondent. She obviously isn't speaking from experience. Just scripts. She IS NOT a correspondent

[usbconnections]

If the ceasefire agreement includes Israel's ability to strike at what they perceive to be violations by Hezb, then how is it a "loophole" when they act accordingly?
