Richard Engel explores looted Assad palace in Damascus

[@grunkster]

Word to the wise, don’t become a dictator unless you want Richard Engel in your room.

Wait why?

[@Smwilll6100]

​@to_ur_heart Yes my question too, why?

[@Nihamedu23]

Don’t say looted, everything in the palace belongs to Syrian people and they took what’s rightfully theirs

[@mmmm07-e5b]

that is a good way to put it xd

[@LADY-E.COMEDY]

Right !

[@CjbrkBrooks]

But first…America went in first. Just like Iraq and other countries.

[@andrewpritt8739]

No it belongs to the new Syrian government and they have to repair everything

[@qkrotor]

@@mmmm07-e5b "The Syrian people" didn't take those things, individual looters did, and they aren't going to share them with "the people".

[@SpecialEdTalk]

I think the Syrian ppl that did support him are shocked now by his lavish life style - while they had to find jobs abroad, become refugees or starve.

[@herbankidd]

Doubt they were “shocked”

[@RR52517]

They are sad actually. They miss him.

[@katpuss6564]

Don't be so silly. Do you think that no other Presidents/Leaders have Palaces? Christ almighty the ignorance is astounding. Bashar and Asma lived in an apartment....

[@bidenisasnake9932]

@@pjpredhomme7699 So true. The US has imploded without knowing it.

[@katpuss6564]

Which is precisely what Bashar did.

[@rorytribbet6424]

Sadly that doesn’t work because others don’t follow. If everyone on earth agrees to only do that, then we will have security through peace. But otherwise, the only way to ensure security is through deterrence by way of overwhelming military capability. It’s a sad world.

[@justinhackstadt6677]

War also has victims. Someone always starts it. So is war a waste for the victim that's simply defending itself?

[@beruangkutub33]

Richard engle enters the bedroom “ok folks this is where the magic happens”…wait this is not mtv cribs🤷‍♂️

[@70athens]

Keen observation "obviously he is not here" Worth every $ of his salary 😂

[@Smwilll6100]

I think the comment obviously he is not here is more of a shock. Maybe his regime fell after a long period of trying but to people not in the middle east and to people just trying to survive in the rest of the world; it was a shock. Even he said that Assad was shocked. The world from humankind onward has been full of dictators. They come. They go. The people say our lives are more important than our pain. That's it. Run outta town. And yes, someone else will rise. It's humankind.

[@Smwilll6100]

​@ari7610 Is that where he's at? Know you're kidding cuz Putin doesn't want him. Can't have 2 dictators. And I will say though that Putin has such a hold on Russian people that Russian people in U.S. are afraid to speak of Putin. Even a comment. He is in Moscow. I am shocked. Is that a place for asylum?

[@skeetrix5577]

I could watch videos like this literally all day. it's amazing to actually see this world come to light. the other day I saw a video of a dude sitting in a car casually flipping through Assad's family photobook! he didn't even leave with his photo books! now, imagine if north Korea fell and kim had to flee in a similar fashion. one can only dream lol

Here's some facts for you Richard, that you couldn't be bothered to consider... Last year Asma was battling breast cancer, which she supposedly overcame. However, in May this year his beloved wife was diagnosed with incurable Leukemia. The same month 'The Butcher of Homs' Riffat al Assad returned to Syria from exile in France where he was to be tried and imprisoned... He gave Bashar a plan to stand down, which Bashar took to enable him to spend Asma's final days/months in peace. And who could blame him. Bashar and Asma have given their all to the people. The first thing they did was to have the internet installed in every home, and asked the people to tell him what they wanted from their Government. They were so loved by the people that thy were able to walk among them unprotected. GOD BLESS THEM AND GIVE THEM PEACE AND LOVE.

[@Truth_Seeker_79]

I think you are very delusional for thinking Assad and his wife are pious people who were known for giving back to humanity. Please stop this BS!😂. You must be a Alawite, only Alawites had privileges such as internet, good food, living etc... Save your BS to yourself. Assad and his goonies are gone and they will meet their fates very soon.
