‘Syria is a mess,’ Trump says as anti-Assad rebel forces set to overrun him

 

 

President Bashar Assad faces the biggest threat to his presidency. Rbel forces have reportedly captured most of the Deraa region – the birthplace of the 2011 uprising against him.

 

 

As the fighting intensifies, incoming US President Donald Trump says both sides can kill each other since the US has nothing to benefit from the country.

 

 

He said via his verified X and Truth Social account.

 

 

He said: “Opposition fighters in Syria, in an unprecedented move, have totally taken over numerous cities, in a highly coordinated offensive, and are now on the outskirts of Damascus, obviously preparing to make a very big move toward taking out Assad.

 

 

“Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the loss there of over 600,000 soldiers, seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria, a country they have protected for years. This is where former President Obama refused to honor his commitment of protecting the RED LINE IN THE SAND, and all hell broke out, with Russia stepping in.

 

 

“But now they are, like possibly Assad himself, being forced out, and it may actually be the best thing that can happen to them. There was never much of a benefit in Syria for Russia, other than to make Obama look really stupid. In any event, Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!”
