Ousted Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad planned to keep fighting rebel forces in the country before Russia evacuated him, according to a statement attributed to him released Monday.
“My departure from Syria was neither planned nor did it occur during the final hours of the battles,” Assad, 59, said on his Telegram account.
Assad said he remained in Damascus until the early hours of Dec. 8 — the day the rebels entered Syria’s capital.
Note this contradicts multiple eyewitness accounts that Assad fled to the airport without notifying aides or the military
“I left my gameboy, can someone send it over? It was gold with my name on the back.”
Sir Robin al-Assad
“Who bravely fled away !”
As if he didn’t have an escape plan for years.
Ah well, the paranoia is usually an essential part of the job (see Gaddafi, Saddam, Kims)
Took him 13 years to do it.
Probably something like gurgle gobble gurlgle… With putin’s nazi dick in the way, it’s hard to talk. Makes you wonder how long that thing is because Bashar seems tall so the distance from his asshole to his mouth must be a few feet.
Sounds like Russia deposed Assad. Now do Khamenei.
Tragic.
