  6. Bravely taking to his feet – he beat a very brave retreat!

  7. It’s not a “quick visit” if he plans to stay. Nor is it a good sign that he’s in Damascus if they say it over Telegram. If he were actually in Damascus, I imagine he would film a video or do some propaganda video.

  9. we’ve been asking for proof of life for several days now…

  11. I just hope the people of Syria can get some sort of normalcy 

  14. It’s kind of a shame he gets to walk away after everything. I mean, when you play with such big bets, you kind of have to put your head on the chopping block if it goes wrong.

  16. Where does all of Syria’s cash and whatever other reserves go at this point? Wired and shipped UAE or Russia?

  17. didnt this start with assad shooting peaceful protesters in the streets years ago?

  18. I keep hearing people say “doesn’t matter who wins, both sides are bad”.

    Yeah, I get that, but at the end of the day a colossal turd in human skin still dies horrifically… and if that’s all I get for Christmas, I’ll be a happy boy.

  19. Lmk when the next dictator execution video drops. Hype

  21. For his sake I hope he has, on the slim chance he hasn’t we’re going to see him get Gaddafi’d within the next couple of hours the way things are going.

  22. Here’s hoping the fighting stops after the regime is deposed, and Rojava can establish itself as the first independent Kurdish state.

  26. It’s nice to hear that Baghdad Bob got a new job with the Syrian government.

  28. In effect a reverse Russia-Iran coup deployed via Assad’s weakened Syrian conscript army, following Hezbollah’s disinterment and Iranian loss of access to militant forces.

  30. Who’s playing the part of Baghdad Bob? Damascus Dave?

  31. Just wait, any moment Assad will release the video where he and high ranking governmental officials are in governmental block in Damascus telling that President is here and show those western fake news media

  34. my “assad has not fled” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

  36. The trip to Moscow was a planned vacation before things went to shit so no ‘fleeing’. It’s like Ted Cruz taking his vacation during the peak of COVID.

  37. The good news? The Butcher of Syria may be about to fall.
    The bad news? The new rulers are Islamic extremists.
