Assad’s biggest supporters were Russia and Iran, which were both weakened by fighting different wars.

While there were initial reports of gunfire, recent updates indicate that the opposition has now taken control of Syrian state television & radio headquarters in the heart of the city.

Western media refuses to mention that the “rebel forces” in Syria are actually Al Qaeda/ISIS bc then people would be confused about why Russia is fighting Islamic extremism while the US is supporting it. The Syrian “civil war” is just a proxy war btwn the US and Russia.
Bashar al-Assad used Russian and Iranian firepower to beat back rebel forces during years of civil war, but never defeated them, leaving the Syrian president vulnerable when his allies were distracted by other wars and his enemies rose up reut.rs/3D4k68A
