In a lengthy social media post, Donald Trump has called for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, while referencing the apparent collapse of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.
The president-elect made the remarks in a post on his Truth Social website early on Sunday morning, in which he argued Russia was in a "weakened state" due to the Ukraine war and said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wanted to "make a deal and stop this madness."
On Saturday evening and Sunday morning, Syrian rebels streamed into their country's capital Damascus as the 24-year-old regime of President Assad reportedly collapsed.
In his Truth Social post Trump commented: "Assad is gone. He has fled his country. His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was not interested in protecting him any longer. There was no reason for Russia to be there in the first place. They lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever.
"Russia and Iran are in a weakened state right now, one because of Ukraine and a bad economy, the other because of Israel and its fighting success. Likewise, Zelensky and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness. They have ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians."
The president-elect concluded: "There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse. I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The World is waiting!"

What is the status of the Russian military stationed in Syria?
And our G.I.s stationed there?
The Russians bugged out from Syria over the past week.
Pretty sure they're heading for the exits. But I would be concerned for the safety of any U.S. forces considering the incompetent buffoons in the Biden Administration who are making decisions. One question though, did the intelligence services get caught flat footed here? And would it not be beyond the chutzpah of the Biden/Harris regime for them to request Russian help in evacuating U.S. personnel?
There is no reason Russia should until they take all of Ukraine.
They are taking more and nmore land
Kursk...what a joke. 1/10 of 1 percent of Russia’s land.
Russia has over 25 percent of Ukraine.
They should finish what they started because NATO will put nukes there and start WWIII
Or they just turned off the transponder...
Or Assad wasn't really on it...
Who the heck knows.
I believe our soldiers are waiting to see if ISIS or Iranian back militias rear their head. There’s a reason the current Syrian rebel leadership is free of Islamic extremists.
No support from Russia-KGB.
Another KGB-stooge regime falls.
Another win for SOCOM.
Yep.
If he pulled off the escaped where is the likely destination? Russia, Iran, Turkey, Obama’s house or somewhere else?
I am sure the rebels have a plan that will be fair to all the people of Syria. The cities will be rebuilt rapidly, freedom will be restored to the people, and a new era of working with others will emerge. Either that or a group of lunatics will fight for decades trying to seize control and destroying every remaining piece of civilization in the process.
UAE.
I will need to ask my co-workers in Dubai what they think about that.
I am very happy I am nowhere near that area of the world.
The rebels will trash a once beautiful, friendly, clean Major City, that Damascus was. They will turn it into another Tehran.

Once that happens, hostilities between us and Russia will dramatically decline.
And your side really thought President Trump would roll over and throw a victory parade for Putin? Lol!
