Russia said abandoning Assad as Syria regime collapses further

Asharq Al-Awsat says Moscow has pulled military experts from Assad's war room in Damascus, evacuated non-essential personnel and stopped declaring there is no alternative to Assad.

Russia is pulling away from its relationship with embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad and withdrawing key personnel from Damascus, the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported Sunday, citing senior Gulf and Western officials.

"The Kremlin has begun to turn away from the regime," the newspaper said.

The report also quoted Syrian opposition sources as saying that Hezbollah and Iranian military experts have left Assad’s war room in Damascus, along with Russian experts.

May be true, may be disinformation.  The more important question would be "Why."  Is it because they have their hands full in Ukraine and their other land-grab plans, or because they figure it will make the ISIS tar-baby even bigger and possibly draw us into Syria itself?  One thing you can rest assured, it's not because Putin has decided Assad occupies the lowest of the moral low ground in the fight.
