The Tyrant Saves the Tyrant!

News:

On 8 December, IA tass.ru reported: “Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is in Moscow and has been granted asylum in Russia, a Kremlin source told TASS. ‘Assad and his family members have arrived in Moscow. Russia, based on humanitarian considerations, has granted them asylum,’ the agency's interlocutor said.

Moscow considers it necessary to resume negotiations on the settlement of the situation in Syria under the auspices of the UN. The leaders of the armed Syrian opposition have guaranteed the security of Russian military bases and diplomatic institutions on the territory of Syria.”

Comment:

After tyrant Bashar al-Assad failed in his task and became unnecessary for his master, the United States, he was, as they say, written off. The Muslims of Syria, like a tsunami, were in Damascus in a matter of days and tyrant Bashar fled the country. To the mad tyrant's rescue came the even more sophisticated tyrant Putin, who, like his counterpart Bashar al-Assad, is blacklisted under sanctions by the world community. Putin basically doesn't care anymore, one crime more or less, after he unleashed the war in Ukraine.

Why has Assad not been accepted by his neighbours – Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt or Iran? The regimes of these countries are shaking with fear that the people will not stop at the border and the revolution will spread to their countries, as it happened earlier with the Arab Spring! In order not to give the people an extra reason for revolutions, they categorically refused to help Assad and exiled him to Siberia to Putin.

So what is Putin's gain from helping Assad? Money and business. Most likely, as other dictators who fled their countries after the Arab Spring did, Bashar al-Assad pilfered billions that he had to share with Putin in return for his rescue from the Muslims of Syria.

Away from Muslims, Bashar thinks to sit back and do business with the blood money stolen from the Muslims of Sham. But as Allah Almighty says in His Noble Book:

[وَمَكَرُواْ وَمَكَرَ اللّهُ وَاللّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ] “And they planned, and Allah also planned; and Allah is the Best of planners” [Al-Imran: 54]

No one could have predicted exactly how events would unfold in Syria. When many people thought that the people in Syria had given up and the regime had taken over the revolution, there were things that happened. It turned out that Bashar managed to avoid reprisals, as it happened to the tyrant Gaddafi in Libya, but there is more to come.

In Russia, as well as in the Arab world, not everything is easy. The Caucasus is an unstable region. Central Asia is also sitting on a powder keg. Popular discontent is constantly erupting. It is possible that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow a revolution will take place in Russia itself. And then, as they say, Bashar himself will come to meet his death. And so be it! May Allah grant the speedy fall and punishment of all tyrant regimes!
