The government in Syria has fallen, and Assad has resigned and fled the country. The scenes unfolded quickly yesterday, with rebels taking full control of Damascus, as well as the cities of Aleppo, Hama and Homs.
People took to the streets and began smashing statues and symbols of the former leader who is thought to have got on a private jet to Abu Dhabi. Assad’s soldiers were also seen fleeing into Iraq by the thousands.

The Syrian rebel forces are led by Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the former commander of Al-Qaeda and now leader of Suni extremist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) which is classed as a terrorist organisation by most of the world’s governments.

It seems certain that the country will now become an Islamist caliphate.

Assad’s rule in Syria ends as rebel factions seize control of Homs and Damascus. President Assad flees, marking the end of over five decades of Baath Party rule.

There are reports of the prisons being emptied by the rebels.

Syrians who entered Europe in their millions after 2015 took to the streets in the UK and Germany:
As Syrian terrorist-sympathisers take to the streets of London, it begs the question why are they here and not in Syria?

I assume they will be sent back home now Syria is "free"? pic.twitter.com/j99oxFQ1Co
I believe the British Home Office should offer to facilitate the return of these Syrian men back to Syria.

They came as refugees and are no longer refugees. They should go and rebuild Syria now.

One million Syrian refugees came to the country in 2015 to escape Assad.
As of today, they are no longer refugees. Assad is gone. They can now all move back to Syria and take part in this new government.

There are still hundreds of US service personnel deployed at military outposts in southern and northeastern Syria.
US President-elect Trump issued a statement, declaring “Assad is gone. He has fled his country. His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was not interested in protecting him any longer.”
“There was no reason for Russia to be there in the first place,” Trump continued, adding “They lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever.”
Trump further urged that “Russia and Iran are in a weakened state right now, one because of Ukraine and a bad economy, the other because of Israel and its fighting success. Likewise, Zelenskyy and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness. They have ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians.”
“There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse,” Trump emphasized.
“I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The World is waiting!” Trump concluded.

Trump had yesterday warned the Biden administration to stay out of the situtation.
In a social media post, Trump wrote “Opposition fighters in Syria, in an unprecedented move, have totally taken over numerous cities, in a highly coordinated offensive, and are now on the outskirts of Damascus, obviously preparing to make a very big move toward taking out Assad.”
Trump also noted that Russia is unlikely to come to Assad’s aid this time due to being engaged in the conflict with Ukraine.
“Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the loss there of over 600,000 soldiers, seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria, a country they have protected for years,” Trump urged.
“This is where former President Obama refused to honor his commitment of protecting the RED LINE IN THE SAND, and all hell broke out, with Russia stepping in,” Trump continued.
“But now they are, like possibly Assad himself, being forced out, and it may actually be the best thing that can happen to them,” he added.
He continued, “There was never much of a benefit in Syria for Russia, other than to make Obama look really stupid. In any event, Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!”

Biden, or whoever is actually running things has already pushed the world to the brink of nuclear war.
All communication with Russia has ceased and the only American conversing with their officials appears to be Tucker Carlson.
