These Syrians claim to have found Assad 😉

(The statue of Bashar al-Assad's father Hafez Al-Assad is being dragged through the streets.)

‼️ Putin's "great" escape from Syria - the Russians withdraw ships from the base in Tartus and transfer the remnants of weapons by aircraft from Khmeimim - GUR

👥 The rapid process of overthrowing the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria was affected by the shameful flight of the Russian contingent from the territory of the Arab republic.

📍 In the capital of Syria, Damascus, the dictator's residence, government buildings and the central office of national television are under the control of anti-Assad forces.

❗️ After losing control of Damascus amid the continued offensive operation of opposition forces in the provinces of Latakia, Hama and Tartus, the Russian army withdrew its warships from the naval base in Tartus, which Assad had previously given to Moscow as payment for its security.

👉 On December 9, 2024, the frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation and the cargo ship "Engineer of Pipes" of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation left Tartus in the Mediterranean Sea.

⚡️ The Russians are also transferring the remnants of their weapons and military equipment from Syria by military aircraft from the airbase in Khmeimim.

❗️ After the capture of Damascus, forces opposed to Assad are moving to the coast - Russia's probable loss of military bases in Tartus and Khmeimim will finalize the Kremlin's defeat in the Middle East.

Celebration in the palace

⚫️ Syrian rebels entered Bashar al-Assad's palace in Damascus.

The country's state television announced the overthrow of the dictator's regime.

It took the rebels 11 days to topple Bashar al-Assad's 24-year regime and thus remove russia's principal stake in the middle east.

What’s uppermost on Trump’s mind as he contemplates taking on the presidency? Issues like:

Putting Liz Cheney in prison.

Pardoning January 6 defendants on day one.

Prioritizing deportations of migrants with a criminal record—they are already deported following sentencing.

What Liz Cheney needs is an exoneration. Don't know if the President has that power. Many governors do.

Oh No! A day with no tanks

A Ukrainian drone attacked a Russian “Bukhanka” van carrying ammunition. It seems it got stuck while trying to turn around
