Assad's Asylum and Regime Change

Assad has recently received asylum in Russia, marking a significant development in the ongoing Syrian conflict. This situation is viewed as a successful regime change operation rather than a traditional conflict, as the Syrian military showed little resistance during the recent events. Key sources have confirmed Assad's presence in Moscow, suggesting that he was effectively extracted by Russian support, ensuring his safety amid the collapse of his country. The lack of response from Assad, especially in the face of advancing opposition forces, indicates a notable decline in his leadership effectiveness.
