      Can you tell me,has anybody seen Assad since he went to Moscow(before Alepo attack) to selebrate his son graduation?Because I think that Russians captured him then,and there was no return to Damascus and,later, escape.And the orders has been taken from some military oficer they controlled,not from Assad.Other words,Russians comited military coup-I think Putin has secret agreement with Erdogan.All traces point in that direction.Sorry for incorrect writing.

      To me the most mysterious of all is why, if he's been alive all this time, as legitimate President, hasn't he spoken to the nation even in a TV address (when Syria had not yet completely fallen)? My conjecture is that he was maybe kidnapped or killed as part of the Turco-fascist invasion plan, which necessarily must have involved massive bribing or otherwise betrayal within the state and military apparatus, and then the chain of command just behaved normally. All this would have needed Russian complicity anyhow, but Putin has collaborated with Erdogan before many times.

  • @LuisAldamiz
    @LuisAldamiz 17 днів тому +11

    I am chewing on the first segment of your report, the part about the 4th division under Maher al-Assad. On the surface it'd seem as if Bashar al-Assad betrayed Baathist Syria (or whatever was left of it anyhow) and did so for personal and nuclear family salvation, even at the expense of sacrificing other relatives such as Maher himself (and all of Syria of course). This would fit the narrative that he was hoarding public money in Moscow and many other places.
    However a big question I have is why hasn't been Bashar al-Assad seen in public since soon after the, well prepared, HTS offensive began? It's only logical that in such an emergency situation the head of the state and iconic reference for those supporting the Baath regime (by preference or lack of alternatives) would issue some sort of national address calling to resist or pretending to be still able to do so at least, however nothing at all. So I've been wondering whether he was dead all this time, after all such a fast domino collapse, faster even than the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan after the unchalant US retreat (paved by massive bribes of nearly all republican commanders), necessarily required treason within the military and probably high places in the regime itself.
    Russia claims that Bashar is in Moscow but not even there he has been seen at all. There was a fake letter (no signature, no associated video-address of any sort) circulating these days but it only adds to incredulity about Bashar al-Assad being alive or free to speak (if alive). Does anyone know something I don't?

    • @Ethan-qo9rx

      Assad and his family were already in Moscow when the offensive started, because his son was graduating from university there in late November. He returned by himself to Damascus only for a few days, situation was hopeless and then he fled back to Moscow to rejoin his family.

      @LuisAldamiz 17 днів тому

      @@Ethan-qo9rx - Graduations happen in November in Russia? Strange.
      In any case, he's not been seen. I suspect either murder or kidnapping. I don't trust Putin much, especially not in anything related to Erdogan or Israel. Just remember how he abandoned the Armenians last year to the Turco-Zionist onslaught, even daring to blame them for seeking alternative, better, protectors, or how he did not prevent Turkey from ravaging Afrin, even if it was in Russian agreed airspace, or how he threatened Israel multiple times about the bombings against Syria and yet did nothing at all about it.
      My guess is that he probably gave Syria away in exchange for a good deal in Ukraine (where Russia is winning but slowly and also needs to get sanctions removed for the sake of trade and prosperity) or something in that line.

    • @SyrianApostate
      @SyrianApostate 4 дні тому

      The fact is that HTS are trying to play government and shaking off all their ideological past but HTS is one of many groups and even though they are theoretically in charge of all the other groups in reality it's not so straightforward. Many of those groups (and their individual fighters) are much more radical and unwilling to accept coexistence with minorities. That being said, things are not as bad as this video suggests, very few incidents of revenge or religious discrimination have occurred considering how much built up hate there was in the country. HTS is now moving forward to dismantle all armed factions (including themselves) and withdraw all weapons in the country outside of the states hands.

One of the very few outside parties who don't want a piece of Syria (along with Russia) and all Syrian parties know it, whether they are friendly to Iran or not. Doesn't look like HTS and affiliated groups will be able to bring the fight to the Kurds any time soon, if ever.
