Yes, Assad and family, and probably everybody else within his inner circle are dead. It was his blind trust in the Astana ceasefire that killed him. Set him up the same way they did Ghaddafi in Libya. Pretend to be friends, put down lots of nice sounding words on paper and then kill him. Like with Putin in Russia, Assad wasn't the right leader for a nation at war. Seemed to long for nothing more than to be accepted by the West and its Arab allies. Meanwhile, the lack of any preparations among the civilian population for a resumption of hostilities has left the entire support base for the Assad government at the mercy of the Washington backed savages. If Syria and Russia weren't going to do what the Socialist Republic of Vietnam would have done, namely kick the regime changers out of the country, then they needed to do something along the lines of what Venezuela has done for its self defense since the failed 2002 coup. Building up a civilian counter regime change militia, the Bolivarian Militia of Venezuela. Venezuela is about as close to 100% regime change proof as a nation in Washington's cross hairs can be.

Russia sold out Syria and gave it to Washington in exchange for recognition of Crimea and Donbass. I don't care what anybody else says, Putin did Syria dirty. Would have been better if they had not intervened militarily at all. Just pulled out the government and anybody else who wanted out circa 2015, before the regime change savages took over.

Looks to me like Russia is attempting to do what most of the Arab states did during the first U.S. aggression against Iraq. In exchange for support for expelling Iraq from Kuwait, the U.S. would force Israel to end the occupation of Palestine and recognize a sovereign Palestinian state. This despite the fact that time and again then President Georg H.W. Bush said there would no linkage. We can all see now how that worked out. Palestine got the Oslo Palestine Removal Act, and Israel has used it to erase most of what was left of Palestine. Syria has been put to death, with Lebanon next. The current negotiations over Ukraine are headed in the same direction they went in 2014-15. A cease fire will be put into place, while the E.U. takes the lead in helping build up Ukraine's military forces for a new offensive against Russia in the future.
