If Assad falls....

[Mik]

Whaddya want to be we're up to our necks in the rebel resurgence in Syria?

[George K]

Rumor is that Assad's wife and children have left and gone to ... Russia.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

@Mik

No kidding, Assad and Co. folded like a cheap suit and high tailed it out of Dodge.

Hope he and the family will enjoy living in Dead Skunk, Russia. Good riddance.

I think the lost plane or crash stories are just stories, social media gossip.

[Mik]

I suspect nearly three years of diminishing Russian support contributed to his demise. Hard to imagine his replacement will be significantly better.

It was good to be the king.

I haven't followed the Syrian mess in a long time.

"Aleppo? What's that?" - remember?

Anyhow are the rebels allied with any country, what is their ideology - moderates, or true believers?

This must be a tough day for Tulsi.
