Assad's downfall exposes Russia's true weakness

^{Published on 2024-12-09 19:20:46 - MSN}

President Biden (remember him?) says the fall of Assad in Syria "is a direct result of the blows that Ukraine and Israel have delivered against Russia, Hamas and Hezbollah with unflagging support from the United States.

The article from MSN discusses how the downfall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has revealed significant weaknesses in Russia's geopolitical strategy and influence. Despite Russia's military support for Assad, the ongoing instability in Syria has highlighted Russia's limitations in exerting long-term control and stability in regions where it has intervened. The piece points out that Russia's involvement has not only failed to secure a stable ally in Assad but has also stretched its military resources thin, impacting its ability to project power elsewhere. Furthermore, the article suggests that Assad's weakening grip on power, amidst economic crises and internal dissent, reflects poorly on Russia's foreign policy effectiveness, exposing its vulnerabilities in maintaining puppet regimes and the broader implications for its international standing.
