DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Russian state news agencies are reporting that ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad has arrived in Moscow with his family and given asylum.

The agencies, Tass and RIA, cited an unidentified Kremlin source. The Associated Press was not immediately able to verify the reports but has contacted the Kremlin for comment.

RIA also cited an anonymous Kremlin source that Moscow had received guarantees from Syrian insurgents of the security of Russian military bases and diplomatic posts in Syria. The report did not give further details.

Assad reportedly left Syria early Sunday.

5. I am still waiting for the Hague

to prosecute Assad AND Putin for international war crimes. Putin's Russia supplied Assad with chemical bombs, and Assad dropped them on villages where the suspected rebels were thought to be located, killing every man, woman, child, and baby by an excruciating death by poisonous gas......

Trump was complicit, by pulling out our troops that were defending the Rebels. He ordered a "bug out" overnight, leaving everything behind, to help the Syrian forces by them being able to take possession of all the U.S. Military's weapons and equipment left behind......

The Hague investigators had just confirmed that Assad had used the chemical weapons on his own citizens, and had also confirmed that the bombs were supplied by Putin/Russia.........

cause the refugee crisis for Europe. His specialties…chaos and evil.

11. I'd like to see a photo, or a few

I also read that his plane crashed. I keep thinking he went somewhere where he can't be found. Perhaps I've watched too many spy thrillers.

Maybe Stump will have him and Vlad at the WH for a State Dinner!
