This is the humiliating moment Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was stopped from following Vladimir Putin by Russian soldiers on his own soil when the pair staged a 'victory' announcement. The Russian President yesterday declared that his alliance with Assad had been a success and that Moscow will start to withdraw troops from the war-torn country. But on the same day, footage shows the Syrian strongman being humbled on his own turf - when a Kremlin serviceman ordered him to wait while Putin walked off in front of him. The clip shows a man in military clothing placing his hand on Assad's arm and urging him to stop walking as Putin advanced with his own officials.

They've been allies for 50 years.
We've been shown only what the media wants us to see.
Humiliating....that's a crock of sh**.
Did Assad do a full waist bow to Putin?
Oh wait - that was obama to a Saudi...
Assad looks like Urban Meyer of Ohio State.
That’s funny. No chin?
‘’’’I hope that together with Turkey and Iran we will succeed in restoring peaceful life and launch a political process to settle the situation in Syria,’ Putin said. ‘’’’
I wonder what NATO thinks about this statement? Some parts are really disturbing.
President Assad, President Putin has asked me to update you on our ongoing program in conjunction with our allies Iran, Turkey, Egypt and those in Iraq, ... Our effort to drive Islamic Terrorists from our countries to the United Kingdom and Western Europe as "refugees", has been hugely successful, and you will be pleased to hear that their citizens are raped, murdered and assaulted routinely while their governments imprison their citizens that object, and their Media apologize for Terrorist Islam. Their stupidity is beyond belief, but it's a fact.
Thanks C19fan. No surprise there -- Assad's the hereditary monarch of a failed state that he set on fire and couldn't put out. Iran couldn't put it out, even with its press-ganged Afghan "volunteers" and half of Hezbollah fed to the guns. Assad is Putin's puppet ruler, less than a client, less than an ally.

Some of those Russian pilots look like they flew with Yuri Gagarin.

Assad chose Putin, because he was a better choice than McCain/Obama/Saudi Arabia jihadist friends who like to rape their victims with swords once they have captured them.
Just how is interfering with the internal affairs of Syria in any way under the purview of the U.S. Constitution?
It simply isn’t... I know Senator McCain’s Al Nusra friends think it is...
He went to greet his own soldiers and speak. No humiliation except from the media.
