Why Putin couldn’t save Syria’s dictator
Manage episode 454648319 series 2455337
It’s taken just an eight-day offensive for rebels in Syria to bring down the brutal, murderous Assad regime, which had ruled for half a century.
The dictator Bashar al-Assad fled Damascus to Russia, where he’s reportedly been given asylum.

Today, the ABC’s Global Affairs Editor John Lyons on what comes next and what it means for the Middle East.
