Seriously - what is left in Syria anymore? He fucking ruined that country and its infrastructure with war for decades.
I don't understand how this was allowed to happen and all the neighboring countries just stood by and watched.

Assad didn't ruin the country, dickhead. The US, UK, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE waged war against the country using over a hundred thousand foreign jihadis coordinated and paid for by the US through Obama's operation Timber Sycamore, the most expensive program in the history of the CIA, PLUS a decade of crushing US sanctions preventing any rebuilding, PLUS the US illegally occupying 1/3 of Syrian land (the part with the wheat and all Syria's oil), which was then sold to Israel, did. Idiot.

R12 Russia and Iran have fought to support the Syrian government against the US proxy war I explained in my post (part of the 7 countries in the Middle East overthrow plan of the US leaked by Wesley Clark back in the pre Iraq War Bush years) and prevent another Libya style jihadi catastrophe.

I am so glad for the Syrian people, their ten-year civil war is finally over.
-- Assad's plane lost altitude and disappeared from radar. No one knows where he is right now.
-- The regime fell so quickly that they didn't burn their KGB / FSB files. What secrets will those contain?
-- The rebels opened Assad's infamous prisons and liberated the inmates. In one case, a young man captured in 1985 was released as an old man today.

The jury is out on that, R45. It could go either way--worse or better. But Assad was a dictator who used chemical weapons, so there's that.

The history of the Middle East does not bode well for whoever succeeds - it's gonna be a conservative Islamist group with guns. Watch.
Both are awful - but to think this is going to be a long awaited Arab Spring for Syria is wishful thinking.
But hey - the war is over - so all the Syrian immigrants can go back home now, right? Right?

HTS has cut ties with Al Qaeda and (unlike Islamic State) seem to be fairly popular in the regions they've controlled. So yes, they would be an improvement.

I had some dealings with his wife when she was in investment banking in the late 90s. She was superficially pleasant but she was beautiful, affluent and acted the part.
Little did one expect her to become the Eva Braun of Syria. She also had breast cancer, was recently diagnosed with leukemia, and, according to the WSJ, escaped to Russia in late November with her children.

Now that Hezbollah has fallen in Lebanon, Lebanon can return to its secular society.
