Sand in Glass Running Out for Assad

       The murderous tyrant kept afloat in Syria by Russya and Iran is on thin ice. Resurgent rebels are on the march and Putin's lackies and Iran's 'martyrs' are nowhere to be found this time around. The rapid deployment of the rebels caught all the opposition government troops asleep and not the least bit willing to stop the onslaught.

      What's Bashar to do now? In the past, he's used chemical poison gas against anybody nearby. He's employed Russyan air power to bomb anybody close to Damascus. He's assaulted any city or town where a rebel support team might be living. He scoffed at former US President Obama as he drew a 'red line' in the _____(fill in). Now, Ol' Bashar is ancient by Middle East standards. Those Syrians who could leave are long gone. Who is left? A few troops with nowhere to go, tethered by family and a paycheck. I'm sure Ol' Bashar is burning the midnight oil lamp trying to get a call through to the Kremlin. Nobody is answering. Maybe he should try someone in the Donets region in eastern Ukraine. Where is Yevgeny Prighozin? Dead, unavailable. Where is Dmitry Peskov? Asleep, unavailable. Where is Svetlana Dali? In jail in New Jersey waiting for someone to make bail.

      So, what to do, what to do. Not easy being a dictator/murderer, especially in his neighborhood where life is cheap and food is expensive. So, the rebels are rolling and will soon take Damascus as the rats flee the rat hole. Bashar will board a plane for Tehran, but won't be allowed to land as the IDF has the runway zeroed in and the Ayatollah wants to keep the runway clear just in case he needs it. So, Moskva; the plane will divert to Moskva. What will Vova do? He'll have to allow Bashar asylum or his coalition will recognize that the Federation is a 'Paper Tiger/ Bear/ Siberian rat'.  Perhaps Bashar can call Elon on his X page and beg for a handout, trip to Mars or another address in outer space. Bashar has no friends, like all rats, when the chips are down, rats generally die in the rathole. (see Saddam H. ).
