Syria's ousted President Bashar al Assad has arrived in Moscow, Russian state media has confirmed. Assad and members of his family arrived in the city, where they have been given asylum, on Sunday, a Kremlin source told the TASS news agency. Assad left the Syrian capital of Damascus and gave orders for there to be a peaceful transfer of power, after an anti-regime uprising ended his 24-year rule.

Not surprised.

“Not surprised.”

Me too. Russia tends to take care of their friends, rather throw them to the wolves, as the US often does.

Fat lady, let ‘er rip.

The fact that Russia is friends with monsters like Assad, Sinwar, Nasrallah, and the Iranian mullahs, says all you need to know about Russia

[Thank You Rush]

“”gave orders for there to be a peaceful transfer of power,””

WOW! What did they give him to drink or smoke before issuing a statement like that? Throw me out of office but PLEASE BE NICE!

“The fact that Russia is friends with monsters like Assad, Sinwar, Nasrallah, and the Iranian mullahs, says all you need to know about Russia”

So, who, exactly is a non-monster leader in that part of the world, other than in Israel?

NO western country welcomed any of those creeps with state visits and close hugs

Putin did

Wait until you meet the Syrian rebels.

Lol.

Figures that you’re too young to remember Yassar Arafat.

Do u get paid for this 24/7 here
Honestly

Our state dept has always been laden with Russia haters since communism fell
I think many nurse old pogrom wounds passed down via red diaper baby ovaries

There’s no question they and alphabet depts in the west pay folks to pollute forums worldwide

On the one hand u trumpet Russia wants to invade Europe

Then another thread crow Russia is so weakened

So which is it

Is it personal

Was the czar a baddie to great grandpa
Or is the Cold War still on in your head
Or just a bit

Don’t misunderstand me you have every right to opine here

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Hmm. I thought Assad would move in with Paul and Nancy Pelosi.

[nwrep]

Assad was a benevolent leader for the Syrian people and minorities and women in Syria.

[rdcbn1]

Assad is a real scum bag, but lets face it - he has been fighting the Islamic international jihadi war criminals Daesh/ISIS/IS/ISIL/al Qaeda of the Muslim Brotherhood for the last 15 years.

You're thinking of hardspunned and his 50-60 Russian propaganda articles posted daily, from sunrise to sunset

I haven't been on FR in 10 days FFS

Is it personal

Nope, just hate warmongering monsters, like Putin, Lil Kim, etc.

[Rummyfan]

What comes after Assad? I don’t know but probably someoe or something even worse. For Syria and the Middle East.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I heard he took the family and fled to Russia two weeks ago.

[moviefan8]

It will not be good for anyone in the West.

[wardaddy]

Of course there could be paid assets here shilling for any side

But no question the Blob

That’s your side

Is far more effective and pervasive given they own the media

Of course podcasts and X have eroded that despite their trying to silence us

[moviefan8]

It could explain the quick collapse. The writing was probably on the wall and he knew it was time to split.
