"Didn’t Even Rally His Troops..." How Desperate Assad ‘Deceived’ Everyone Before Fleeing Syria

[@perrybb2]

I wonder how Assad felt flying off from that russian airbase knowing it would be the last time he would ever see his country again, knowing that his and his family's legacy will forever go down in infamy and he will be despised by the Syrian people until the end of time

The Russians' decision not to send military backing sealed Assad's fate. His downfall and eventual departure were all but certain. On the one hand I can understand the need for secrecy surrounding his exit, but on the other hand, to have abandoned those closest to him and left them up to their inevitable disastrous fate was cold and selfish. But then again, aren't those the traits that characterize dictators? I just hope that somehow the Syrian people can recover the billions he and his wife stole and then go on to pick up the pieces and rebuilt their country and respective lives.

[@lazygamer7469]

It was obvious that the terrorists, mercenaries, and turkish soldiers would overrun Syria because the elite soldiers of Syria were all wasted on Ukraine, while Hezbollah and Iran's hold on Syria has been weakened by Israel, the SDF had no intention from the start to defend Syria as a whole. Russia has always been merely content on supporting by missile strikes but that is meaningless if there's no motivated army to actually put up resistance. In sum, the drone attacks and continuous exchange of turkmen/mercs/and turkish soldiers plus the bombing of Israel of facilities and coordinating officers have depleted the Syrian nonKurd army. Kurds have always been unwilling to defend the Syrian nation and have even facilitated the attacks of the enemy. Thats the fate of a weak country with internal disunity and which is bordered by two strong nations. There's just a lot of divisive lines that were easily exploited by Turkey, US and Israel. Now Erdogan's foreign legion just got reinforced and can be thrown to the next nearby target. There seems to be a trend in letting religous islamists take control of governments worldwide.

He fled because he had no fight left in him, all his allies are engaged in their own wars elsewhere. Russia weren't willing to finance a pro-Assad offensive even with men in the ground, Iran is busy with Israel while Hesbollah is engaged with Israel as well. He is a lucky man, he would have been fed to snakes if he deluded himself that he could fight off the coalitions of revolutionaries. Nothing decent about fleeing "to save lives" when you have actually ended around a million human lives like dogs.

[@SalmahKadir-v1r]

He fled because all his troops deserted him.

[@zie9171]

​well said

[@GregDeman]

There's no future for Syria now, all the predators have moved in to carve it up

[@chrislanghaug2855]

He didn't decide to walk away...he had no choice if he wanted to save his own neck...only to sacrifice his own family and army. What a piece of sh*t!! 💩

[@squiggleturtle]

How do you do a news show with no audio?

[@PhilipDeLamarter]

Don't ya just hate that? I don't read so good either!

[@SummerTyme5]

Why would anybody expect any heartless ruthless Dictator do anything caring. They don't give a crap about anyone but themselves.

“I need a place to stay.” “Sure. But it’ll cost you.” “How much?” “How much you got?”

Ran like a rat.

[@josimpson7999]

Well, he is! And a cowardly one at that.

[@asifhassan4980]

His bravery would have been disaster for many practically !! All those rhetoric of Cowardice is a myth as far as ground realities are concerned !! All of You must appreciate that his quiet departure saved Syria of months n years of blood bath n mayhem !! The opportunity for Israel to meddle further !! That too am inconsequential blood bath of his country men which has happened in the past once without any significant result !! Once bitten twice shy !!

[@PhilipDeLamarter]

He got the Yellowstain blues down to the toes of his shoes When rebels fire a shot you know it's there that he's not!

[@sinister4lyf]

Many feared putin. And what happened here is a proof that when it’s time, it’s time and you have to stand alone…

[@ottomanosman2463]

Syrian tyrant fled the country is hilarious. What a “brave” Assad is. 😂😂😂😂

[@T-h-a-t_G-u-y]

Wonder why he just gave up after so many years, he was literally on the verge of winning before this.

[@dorjitshering6819]

In this case whatevere is said should be taken with a pinch of salt because nothing is verifiable objectively 😮😮😮

[@Timothy-Lemm]

Assad's cowardly departure was not missed by Putin. Putin is not happy with Asssad. Assad should not fly for a while.

[@kakamaika7585]

The rebels better behave and look what happened to Hamas and Hezbollah when they messed with us. Stay in your lane, al-Jolani.

[@nikker-rz4tp]

i bet you wrong

[@ranveergodara6221]

​@@nikker-rz4tp just come and fight then 😅

[@samturan6590]

Turkey is coming to the Golan

[@kakamaika7585]

​@@samturan6590 😂You couldn't handle the Kurds, so Erdogan, the cunning snake decided to fund jihadists to help him. President Trump will soon throw your terrorist state out of NATO

[@dane0252]

syria is in its lane, the one that's not in its lane is israel, just leave syria alone why did they suddenly start bombing all over it? who tf do you think you are to just throw your bombs at whoever u want?

[@justforintertainment7173]

if he have a little care for the people he abandoned, im sure hes crying everytime he closes hes eyes. those life that protected him for a decade, but he abandoned them, i mean what kind of leader is he, living continuesly in shame, thats a shameless life

[@UnintendedConsequences]

A tyrant AND a coward?! Imagine my surprise. 🤨🙄

[@stephengrahn9361]

Russia probably told him that no help is coming. You have to leave now if you want to get our safely.

[@vionnajognson1126]

He got tired of the Middle East BS and left

[@vairavanvairavan4844]

What unfolded was a real stage managed drama. ISIS haven't won, and Assad hasn't lost. There was no fight at all, and ISIS just had old toyotos and stolen arms. It was pre decided upon that Govt forces would just abandon and surrender. Assad had lost the support of Russia and Iran. U.S. and EU wanted to stop syrian refugee problem. A sort of understanding was reached between Turkey, Russia, Germany, US and Iran. ISIS was given a free run and suddenly ISIS weren't called terrorist, rather as rebels. Hence nothing much would happen at the ground level, one puppet replaced with another new puppet. The show would go on, with the strings being controlled by Turkey, and US.

[@annikaz.1100]

It's not ISIS that fought! Educate yourself

[@vairavanvairavan4844]

@annikaz.1100 Then how are these people called? Who propped up the erstwhile ISIS, the same countries, turkiye, US and allies, Germany out of gulity consciousness, accepted syrian refugees. Now the same group, is supporting this new outfit. Turkiye is going to manage Syria now. There was no war at all in Syria, until foreign intelligence agencies started creating, new groups and Syria was used as a play ground. Always remember, without money, nothing will move in this world. Even ISIS needs funding.

[@Justanormalsmoothy]

How can assad rally his troops if syrian army refused to fight,do you think if syrian defend the border in idlib hts will rapidly advance that in a few days they are already in damascus,the unpatriotic of syrian armies are the cause of their goverment collapsed

[@manut1349]

Now since all the paramilitary groups Iran was aiding in doldrums. Iran government now will have sufficient money to develop Iran.

[@RobertMiller-ye9hm]

Well him and Putin are two of a kind

[@lsdkush]

He did the right thing by fleeing and not ordering anyone to fight, he stopped bloodshed. I think Assad is a weak person, who was forced into his role and is now happy he can live a “normal” life.

[@ManoaSaimuri]

They are all falling apart and No help from Iran. Israel will be closely watching.😂😂😂😂

[@pathfinder8909]

Don't put this thing as your topic. Instead, talk about how US, Israel, and Turkey created the rebels and creared chaos in Syria.

[@wannenburgg]

Stop being stupid. Take responsibility for you and othera

[@Yosemite_Sam]

Don't talk shit. Those "rebels" are listed as terrorist organisations. As for chaos that is the definition of the Middle East.

[@timonsolus]

Duh - the US and Israel can't talk to Islamists. All Islamists view the US and Israel as the enemy.

[@cookng2100]

How do you create rebels?

[@pathfinder8909]

@cookng2100 youe mind was not developing because you were brainwashed by US. go and search how a that rebel former ISIS was created out from the greedy mind of US😁
