All right, Alexander, let's talk about the situation in Syria, regime change of Assad.

And I believe that is what this was, not much of a conflict or not much of a war.

It was, at the end of the day, a regime change operation, a successful regime change operation.

So should we begin on the news that Assad is in Russia?

He has received asylum in Russia.

Biden gave statements, his first statements on Syria yesterday.

And the Iranian foreign minister also spoke about what happened in Syria.

We have news about the Russian bases, which according to the latest reports, is that those bases are going to

remain where they are for the time being. Obviously, Russia is going to withdraw from those bases,

but for the time being, there doesn't seem to be any danger at the Russian bases in Syria.

And then we can gradually move to, I guess, the big question,

which is what happened here. What happened to the Syrian military? I know you have your

thoughts. I have my thoughts. Anyway, what, let's start with just an update as what is happening.

Assad is in Russia. But there are photos circulating Alexander of Assad in Russia,

but those are old photos. I just want to say that. Those are old photos from 2013.

Yeah. We haven't seen any statements or photos of Assad yet. Anyway. No, no, but we have had comments.

One is an anonymous source to Tass by a source close to the Kremlin.

And we've also had comments by Yuri Ushikov, who is a closest advisor of Putin himself.

I mean, one of Putin's most important foreign policy advisors.

He's very, very close to Putin. He has an office, I believe, in the executive office in Old Square,

which is just outside the Kremlin, so he's a member of the presidential administration.

I have no doubt that Assad is indeed
