Assad is fleeing to his family in Moscow [View all]

Russia is about to give up its only naval base outside of Russia, plus its air base as the rebels move in to Tartus and Latakia. Protests are continuing in Georgia, Romania is re-voting due to Russian interference, Putin's economy is shit, 800,000 Russian troops are dead. What else could go wrong? Oh, yeah, that $billion weapons package to Ukraine! Just a little tying up of loose ends before Biden leaves office.

On edit: Russia will also lose its foothold in Africa. All because it's devoted all its resources to Ukraine

Pity
