He had to go but what is to replace him?

Russian Assad brutality knows no bounds. Both should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity!

While I applaud the Rebel's success, I can't help but wonder if had Putin not assassinated Prigozhin, and the Wagner group remained in Syria and not repositioned to Ukraine and then Belarus if things would have been different?

Dats a whole lot of ifs.

Reminds me of Iraq. And look at the mess that filled the vacuum.

Also a sign to states in CSTO how much is worth an alliance with Russia.

I am so happy to hear this! Good luck to Ukraine and Georgia!!!

◾️ In peacetime, Syria was only slightly behind Ukraine in terms of GDP. However, in 2011, the Assad regime's brutal and brutal reaction to the popular uprising, which followed the "Belarusian scenario," led to a civil war, which was later joined by Russia.

Any war crimes trials Putin and his generals might undergo should bring in the Syrian atrocities

You forget it was Wagner that utilised Syria as a staging post to their shenanigans in central Africa.
After Wagner was decapitated the inept Russian army tried to take over rather ineffectually

◾️ The regime, enthusiastically supported by Russia, demolished cities as an act of punishment. Hospitals were destroyed, doctors who worked there were tortured, and chemical weapons were used against civilians.

◾️ Almost half of all attacks on Syrian hospitals were performed by Russian aircraft and helicopter pilots, and it was in Syria that they learned the tactic of "double-tap strike": performing a second strike on the same location shortly after the first one to target rescue teams on site.

I took a class on terrorism in the 1980s and that type of strike was mentioned in it.

That's a terrorist method.

They learned well, I’m afraid. 😢

antongerashchenko.bsky.social•80 days ago

Now, they are using the same tactic in Ukraine.

◾️ After 13 years of war, Assad's regime fell in a week, due a lot to the indifference of Russia.

◾️ Authoritarian leaders, promising to solve complex issues easily, bring only economic stagnation, fear, arbitrariness, and chaos.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well said

antongerashchenko.bsky.social•80 days ago

They turn from "courageous leaders and reformers" into murderers.

◾️ At the end of the day, the most terrible thing is not a war with an external enemy but a war of people against the government or of some people against others within the country.

antongerashchenko.bsky.social•80 days ago

The best way to prevent it is through democracy, which gives people the opportunity to be together and have hope, unlike authoritarianism, which takes this hope away and gives nothing back. And most importantly, democracy will never destroy hospitals or kill its people.

lillebror79.bsky.social•80 days ago

Let’s see. So far they still have their bases there.
