— 🇷🇺/🇸🇾 NEW: First picture of Assad and his wife in Moscow

NOTE: Picture is old.

Regarding this, honestly it's the right thing to do. Assad is no longer there, Iran can't force anything upon the Syrians, they can only encourage an open political process that does not include any terrorist groups.

Open elections is far better than HTS taking full power over Syria. This would force different factions to share power, but even if HTS is hypothetically involved, at least they won't be in charge all by themselves. They would be forced to seek moderation.

— Apparently, the photo is old, it's a thumbnail from a video of Assad visiting a children's hospital.

Many mainstream media uploaded it, + I couldn't find it on reverse image search, so I assumed it's real.

If there's any opportunity for Israel, it's now. The new Syrian 'government' has not had time to organize, and there simply are no defensive lines. The road is basically open.

I still sometimes can't believe this happened. That shit was a fever dream.

— 🇺🇸 American Hypocrisy: In a scheduled interview between CNN and former President Ibrahim Raisi of Iran two years ago, the CNN anchor refused to wear the Hijab and the interview was canceled.

However, when former ISIS & Al-Qaeda leader Abu Muhammad al-Jolani requested it, CNN was more than happy to oblige.
