YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRetired Marines intelligence officer Hal Kempfer joins LiveNOW's Andrew Craft to discuss former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's first comments since being forced to flee to Russia.
Assad, who over the last decade and a half became notorious for his brutal and oppressive tactics employed during the civil war, released a statement on Telegram suggesting he was nothing but dedicated to Syria and remains hopeful that "Syria will once again be free and independent."
Assad looked to counter what he described as a "flood of misinformation and narratives far removed from the truth, aimed at recasting international terrorism as a liberation revolution for Syria" and said he remained fighting in Syria for as long as he could.
Though it has been known for a week that the Syrian dictator fled to Moscow following the collapse of Damascus, the details of his departure had remained unclear.
