For years, Assad seemed untouchable. He held onto power with the help of Russia and Iran. Respectable allies, right? But his buddies were preoccupied with the war in Ukraine and Gaza. Suddenly, the man who brutalized half a million Syrians and displaced millions was left without a lifeline. Insurgents made their move, and the dynasty Assad’s father started 54 years ago was gone just like that. He reportedly fled the country, and we don’t know where he’ll turn up next.
So, what does Director of National Intelligence confirmation hearing.
Gabbard built her image as lawmakers are not very trusting of Gabbard. Just this week, John Bolton implied that Assad’s collapse might expose Gabbard as a paid asset.
If Assad’s next move is as predictable as his air raid, he’ll resurface in some gilded exile, far from the rubble of Syria. Tulsi may want to figure things out before her confirmation hearing. She might want to lay low for a bit. Assad’s fall is a humiliating chapter for her self-proclaimed “anti-interventionist” brand.
Social media will keep dragging her, the memes will keep rolling in, and we’re all just waiting to see how she tries to spin this. For now, the only thing we can say with confidence is this: dictators may fall, but Tulsi Gabbard’s loyalty? That’s forever. Good luck explaining this one, Tulsi. Maybe send Assad a care package—some sunscreen, a burner phone, and a card that says, “Thinking of you. Love, Tulsi.”
