AmericanVillages.ru's Tim Kirby on Russia and the Fall of Assad in Syria

Tim Kirby breaks down Russia's position on the fall of the Assad government in Syria that the Kremlin supported for over eight years following Moscow's direct military intervention in late 2015. Tim explains that for Russia, Syria proved to be a valuable base to support allies in Africa but in the end Assad and his Iranian allies could not hold out and Tehran like Moscow, cut its losses. Moscow continues to concentrate its military efforts on Ukraine, the outcome of which is almost certainly existential for Russia.
