Sinopse

A former US Ambassador to Syria says the collapse of the more-than-50-year Assad Regime in Syria is a happy coincidence for the US.  Leader Bashar al-Assad has fled Damascus for political asylum in Moscow.  US President Joe Biden's called it a 'historic opportunity' to build a better future.  Former ambassador Robert Ford says Biden shouldn't take credit - and Assad's control of major cities was very brittle.  "When pushed - that is, to say, when a serious armed opposition attack came - his soldiers didn't stand and fight. Instead, they ran away." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
