I’ve been wondering when Russia would take the gloves off and send in Segal. I guess after the government collapsed.

I think he left Damascus before homs fell.

The military didn’t really seem like they wanted to fight for a dictator that already abdicated his throne.

I think we just get to wait and see. 🙈

I have no idea. It was titled something like “rebels take over Damascus airport”. Then I went on flight radar and saw the airplane taking off with no destination set.

I can’t verify how “real” it is other than I saw it on social media right before that airplane took off and saved it. Everything today moved pretty quickly.

Personally I don’t think Assad was on that flight.

Sorry I don’t remember the original source but here’s the video. https://files.catbox.moe/2n2y9q.mp4

I watched that live. The video from the airport a few minutes before was surreal.
