Nah dawg emptying your treasury and tailing it to Moscow while abandoning your most die hard supporters to a fate of being raped and pillaged by crazy Wahhabists probably lost him all support, even the support of the unironic ba'athists is unlikely. Had he only sent his sons and daughters to Russia and stayed to embrace a Brave Heart ending sure one of his children could have carried the torch. Honestly he strikes me as the kinda guy who never wanted to be 'president'/dictator of Syria anyway hence why he's play doctor in Russia now.

Damascus city and Assyrian Christians will probably declare their independence too honestly and no one blames them for that decision.
