Re: [update] Assad flees Syria, rebels take Damascus
That would be genuinely hilarious and it has to have crossed their minds. Despite what official media was reporting at the weekend I doubt very much whether the air and naval bases’ security have been guaranteed by any rebel faction. They have no reason to do so, seeing as the Russians have been barrel-bombing their wives and children alongside the Syrian army for years. For those reasons however, the Russians will have been wondering whether any kind of deal to retain their bases there can stick. Those now running Syria - or bits of it - really, really don’t like Russians much at all.
