Agreed. She needs to confess all the things Bashar did, including murder of 300,000, and seek asylum.

al-Assad: She was once one of my favorite wives this year.

Law as of today....
The Syrian Law of Personal Status allows Muslims to practice polygamy if the man has a valid reason and can financially support both wives..

Never trust a bitch that kicks her man when he is down.

If Assad had stayed in power for 30 more years that remora of a woman would have been stuck at his side like glue.

My goodness that was fast. Maybe because his money is frozen and they will have to live a normal life now?

Imagine you are fabulously wealthy with accounts in various banks all over the world.

Assad can’t access those funds from Russia, which is under massive banking sanctions. Assad also has to worry about arrest by either the ICC or some crusading Spanish, French or German prosecutor if he goes to Europe.

Assume she is totally loyal to him. And he totally trusts her. This is exactly the path they would choose.
She divorces him, she gets access to billions in assets, and is relatively untouchable by the ICC and national courts.

Think like a criminal couple for a minute.
