What really happened to Syrian president Bashar Al Assad?

I wrote previously that the fall of Syria would trigger the collapse of the Middle East and the beginning of a series of regional crises and wars, perhaps even a world war, from which no country would be immune. Syria is a pivotal and important country in the region, and its fall would resemble an earthquake, the aftershocks of which would reverberate throughout the region and the world. There is a madman in the United States named Donald Trump, mired in economic problems and scandals, and the solution he sees fit to escape them is war. The United States is a country addicted to war, and its history is replete with instances of emerging from one war or crisis only to plunge into another.

The undeniable truth is that Russia betrayed Bashar al-Assad and his regime, proving itself an unreliable ally. The reality is that all major powers are untrustworthy, readily abandoning their allies at the first real confrontation. All the statements from top officials, from Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump, confirm that the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria was the result of an international agreement involving Russia, Iran, the US, Turkey, and Israel, not a military defeat, even after a brutal 14-year war.

Treachery is the root cause, and traitors played the primary role in the fall of Syria. Military commanders received anonymous orders to withdraw, and soldiers and officers were ordered to abandon their weapons and retreat. The events leading to the regime's collapse in Syria are a replication of what happened in Iraq in 2003. The loyalty of senior officers and commanders was bought, and the result is the same: the fall of the regime and the transformation of the country into a breeding ground for terrorist organizations and terrorists. The United States allied itself with Islamists in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, which is not a new tactic. It previously allied with them in Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, and even in Russia, where it allied with Islamists in the Caucasus region in an attempt to weaken the Russian Federation, the successor to the Soviet Union, the superpower that once dominated Eastern Europe.

The absence of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since the fall of his regime in 2024  raises suspicions about his fate. Did he actually flee to Russia with the help of Russian forces , or was he killed and eliminated, his chapter closed for good? There have been brief media appearances by his son Hafez and anonymous tweets attributed to his wife Asma al-Akhras, who has been the subject of rumors, some of which are credible, that she was working for Britain, a British spy, and that her marriage to Bashar al-Assad was a step to ensure the inheritance of power from father to son with the tacit approval of Western countries. Or perhaps this is what the media has promoted in an attempt to hide the truth, which will come to light with time, perhaps through another leak or declassified documents.

The fate of other leaders was clear: some met their end in the International Criminal Court in The Hague, others were executed by hanging, and still others were kidnapped, as happened in Venezuela. Their true fates remain unknown, awaiting revelations from time and declassified documents. So, what will be the fate of Bashar al-Assad after the fall of his regime in 2024?
