Nice propaganda from 'The Sun'. James Halpin and his puppet masters at 'The Sun' feel they determine who's a baddie.

BASHAR al-Assad has broken his silence to claim Vladimir Putin forced him into a cowardly escape from Syria - but he wanted to stay and fight.
The ousted tyrant released a statement from Moscow, insisting he had to flee after the Russian base he was hiding in began to be bombed.
Assad dished out fighting talk from the safety of his bolthole in the Russian capital, saying the only course of action had been to stay and fight - before he then left.
The statement was published today on the Syrian presidency's Telegram channel and was Assad's first public comment since he was toppled more than a week ago by a lightning rebel offensive.
The despot said he stayed in the capital until the early hours of Sunday 8 December before "terrorist forces infiltrated Damascus".
He then claimed he moved to the Russian air base in Latakia, named Khmeimim, to oversee his army fighting the rebels.
But just hours later the base itself came under attack from drone strikes, he alleged.
Assad said: "Upon arrival at the Khmeimim airbase that morning, it became clear that our forces had completely withdrawn from all battle lines and that the last army positions had fallen."

Hey Assad! Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, (or holds your miserable life in his hands.)
Well gee marcus, did you ever think that Assad can always go back and lead a rebel army? In fact be our guest, just leave America out of it.
There’s no honor among thieves.
Why are you bringing Zelensky into this?
No kidding! Assad wants to fight now? That ship has sailed.

Uh, huh.
“Why I oughta. Let me at ‘em. Let me at’em.”
Pfffft...
Ukraine has been helping to fight the Russians in Syria and Sudan.
LOL...maybe another day.
And, if Putin is such a brutal tyrant and dictator and Assad is in Russia attacking him, why Assad still alive?
What a tangled web you and the Daily Mail weave....
He really didn’t want to stick his neck out.
Have you Zeepers given any thought to sending the imaginary Russian North Koreans to Syria to fight for Assad?
He'd be well advised to stay away from any windows in buildings of 4-floors or more.
“Hold me back! I’ll tear their tonsils out!!”
Translation: I’m Vlad’s bitch.
Why not? It would be impossible for him to stick his chin out.
Tyrant Assad is usually a very crafty man. But this time he’s blowing it. Criticizing your host (Putin, Russia) is not a success strategy for continued safe asylum there. Putin is perfectly capable of having Assad fall from a tenth floor window, laden with radioactive poison. Or, just tossed out of plane over Damascus.
Assad should really STFU and quietly enjoy his $10+ million dollar Russia mansion.
