Why did Damascus fall and what does Bashar al‑Assad’s exile mean for Syria?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Damascus has officially fallen. Bashar al-Assad, the former dictator of Syria, has officially fled to Russia where he was given asylum previously. Bashar al-Assad's family members had fled to Russia and elsewhere as the rebels were approaching Damascus. Is it just me, or does Bashar Bashar al-Assad kind of give off very Trumpy vibes. So now that Bashar al-Assad's palaces are being raided by the rebels, for example, we're seeing his massive car collection, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, the extravagance of the wealth that Bashar al Assad amassed at the Expense of the people who he exploited should also be noted. Uh, this photograph of Bashar al-Assad from when he was younger was seized by the rebels at Assad's palace.
Ben Meiselas 1:03
Take a look at this photo right here. Doesn't it remind you of this other photo of the uh draft dodging Donald Trump lying on his couch like that? Uh Louis Vuitton. trunks worth fifty thousand dollars all throughout these palaces that the rebels are finding. I mean, by the way, I mean this photo right here of uh Bashar al-Assad with his benefactor Vladimir Putin gives me a lot of vibes of when Donald Trump and Putin meant. Here are just some more photos of Donald Trump uh in his uh place where his place of living. You know, Donald Trump literally has golden toilet bowls. Donald Trump, who's spent his entire life attacking the United States of America, attacking our economy, praising our enemies, he lives in a rooms that are actually probably fake gold, but golden rooms with golden toilet bowls.
Ben Meiselas 2:04
And he's acting like the real problem here are unions, which are trying to give people living wages. He sits on golden toilet bowls and then tries to tell people that the real issue here is uh is that Democrats are causing it versus actual price gouging by Donald Trump's cronies, the exact same types of billionaires who Donald Trump's filled his entire cabinet with. If you're not a billionaire on your on Donald Trump's cabinet, probably. You have child sex trafficking allegations and/or rape allegations against you, but I digress. Um, Syrian TV aired video announcing Bashar's fall. The rebels took to TV, they announced that it's over, he's gone. Um, there's some pretty uh all things considered, uh probably gallows humor, but some funny uh posts on social.
Ben Meiselas 3:02
Social media like George Takai, who goes, I've seen enough. Bashar al-Assad will lose his seat and possibly his head to the insurgency. New York Times pitch bot, which mocks the New York Times headlines, goes, Bashar al-Assad's biggest mistake, not going on the Joe Rogan podcast. Bashar al-Assad to join Harvard's Institute of Politics. Sir, this is satirical. Rachel Vinman.

How are Bashar al‑Assad’s luxurious palaces compared to Donald Trump’s wealth?

Ben Meiselas 3:26
Bashar, girl, you in danger. New York Times pitchbot. Bashar al-Assad has learned his lesson by Susan Collins. T Pain. Rumor: Bashar Assad is living in Tulsi Gabbard's basement. More on that in a moment. Because, hey, Donald, you named as your director of national intelligence, an ally of Bashar al-Assad. Yes, Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard, when she has her confirmation hearing, she's going to be asked, how was it that when Bashar al-Assad used nuclear weapons and chemical threatened nuclear weapons, used chemical weapons rather than nuclear weapons, used chemical weapons on his own people, just by the way, weapons of mass destruction on his own people, how is it that you Tulsi Gabbard went to Syria, met with him, and then said
Ben Meiselas 4:16
That the United States should do nothing, that the United States should support um Bashar al-Assad. Um, here's another comment. This is from Miss Betty Bowers. No one has seen Bashar al-Assad. Maybe he has a new show on MSNBC. Why was Bashar al-Assad deposed as the leader of Syria? Because he became too woke, Mr. Newberger. Tulsi Gabbard searching the Ocean for Bashar al-Assad could be Moana 3. T-Pain. Trump will have to reshuffle his cabinet since Bashar Asad is suddenly unavailable. Making it clear that someone on his cabinet, Tulsi Gabbard, who he's appointing director of national intelligence, is like a close friend and ally of Bashar al-Assad, who has now fled.
