Because he has killed all the ones who don't support him?

No because he is genuinely loved by his people and the people are acutely aware that if Assad losses this war that they will end up in just as much of a state as Iraq and Libya.

Are you a Sunni Muslim living in Syria, or are you relying on "secondary sources?"

The Royal Family and Govt. of Jordan may die at any moment if western pigs make a mistake in their evaluation!

So how many missiles did Russia shoot down? Do we have a good count of how many hit and how many didn't?

Russia says one third, the United States says zero, so the truth is probably about a dozen. What I want to know is whether the aircraft involved actually entered Syrian airspace. No-one is saying.

Russia mentioned that the B1s used GBU - 38 guided bombs. They have a glide range of about 28km. These could have been droped from Lebanise airspace🤔

Russian or Syrian side dont mention that any aircrafts entered Syrian airspace.

The B-1s used launched from Qatar. There is no reason whatsoever for them to fly all the way around Syria, and back around to Qatar and drop GBU-38s from Lebanon when they have other long range weapons that they could launch from the direction they were coming from. The F-16s out of Aviano were more than capable of dropping GBUs.

They said 13 in the press conference the night of the strike.

We can assume not many...Nice test for both US and Russia in seeing Russia's defense ability...I would say they failed...

I think I called B1s, though I agree the F-16s would have done the same.
