#Syria #Assas #WorldNews
To be honest it does not even look all that luxurious
Next President Bong Bong Marcos
I bet no one even used that beautiful library.
Dude how on earth you got this job with such low iq. Honestly what a clown he is in Moscow he has more luxurious apartments and houses in Moscow and billions to spend. Get your facts before talking nonsense
Now show us where and how the healthcare CEOs live
I really feel sorry for the Syrians I pray that God will bless them good leaders. Amen
So go all tyrant, no matter where you are
ALLAH WONT SPARE YOU ASSAD
ASSAD CRIMINAL ZAALIM….WA IZZOU MAN TASHAA WA TO ZILLOU MAN TASHAA
Tacky
‘So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, “Are we still going to war with Iraq?” And he said, “Oh, it’s worse than that.” He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, “I just got this down from upstairs” — meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office — “today.” And he said, “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.” I said, “Is it classified?” He said, “Yes, sir.” I said, “Well, don’t show it to me.” And I saw him a year or so ago, and I said, “You remember that?” He said, “Sir, I didn’t show you that memo! I didn’t show it to you!”’ – Retired U$ General Wesley Clark, 2007
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING GUYS. GOD BLESS 😊😊😊
Russia should send him back home with his wife to Syria to enjoy again that palace
Ah, that old story. Whoever doesn’t align with nazzczzie west they’re a tyrant and a dictator! 🤣
Please, don’t BS to BS.
rulers don’t live in poverty, certainly not Middle Eastern sheiks. Nothing unusual here.
The US and its jihadis arent fit to be his judge.
Notice that there is no small items like statues, parfume, guns, pens etc – all stealed)
Why is it so hard to understand that the place was ransacked and looted by thieves shortly after they left? They took anything of value. That’s why it looks so bare.
He killed 500,000 Syrian people. GÉNOCIDE. Where were ONU and Roger Waters ?????
Assad will be skimping on toilet paper while in exile in Russia.
When the reporter wants to make us believe Asad lived in a very lavish “palace”. Compare it to the White House, home of a democratic president. And Asad was a dictator. Come on man… Many people in Europe or the USA have better homes compared to this guy…
SHOW THE WHITE HOUSE, PRESIDENTS OF EGYPT,AND JORDAN PALACES
Allahu Akbar
Looks like a mall. 😂
Massive car collection too including a $5.5 million Ferrari F-50.
Same happens every time. One dictator goes, three new are coming out. We have now more dictators than ever. This world is going down. And people are still going to vote for the rich and filthy politics and oligarchs. No comment
Every world leader has a house like that. Its just that the western media potrays everyone who is not their kind as some kind of a nincompoop
Looks like scar faces mansion, quite tacky and classless..
He didn’t live there.
He lived in town.
People don’t understand at all whats going to happen is one tyrant will be replaced with Muslim authoritarianism
Remember how stable, the Middle East was when Saddam was in power another dictator, now today, as I speak in Iraq, the parliament is proposing to put forth a law to make it legal for 9 year old girls to be married again.
*His palace in Russia is going to be just as big, do y’all think that man left Syria with pocket change? He already had billions put away and he’s still making money right now*
How rude you American are
Even I know this is not where the Assad family lived!
Is the palace for official events and political.
Bad journalisme😅
Wie lebt denn Nethanyau? Sicher auch luxuriös!
Syria is a pariah state. Will always be. The rebels cannot seem to get their act together.
Es ist nicht euer zu Hause, schert euch daraus!
Even if he left only with the 200 tons of gold, he’d be looking at around $26,102,730,400.00 Give or take. Putin’s new best friend!
assad give bacl money to syrian billions dollars
Anybody who’s watched the series TYRANT. you know this is exactly the place!
It’s weird, just one lobby after another. Cold. Nothing to say a family lived here.
Looks like California governor…big beautiful 9.1 million dollar home, while rest of population is becoming homeless 😢
Tut, Tut, Tut.
American propaganda
I think whitehouse is more grandeur
I think there are more war criminals per capita in the USA than anywhere else in the world.
What is the difference between Assad and the new guys?
How sad seeing all this nonsense propaganda coming from a great reporter such as Richard Engel himself. He was no dictator.
Di saat rakyat hidup dalam tekanan dan kemiskinan…..sang presiden diktator hidup bergelimang harta dan kemewahan dari menindas rakyatnya
Typical western propaganda.. Show us how your colonial leaders live.
Ceausescu’s palace back in 1989 was much better
His bedroom is not different from Putin 😅
ERDOĞANA DİKTATÖR DIYEN USA. EU. GÖRUN DİKTATÖR NASIL OLUYOR
I hope and pray the detainees will live in these palaces now. They should move in and live the life they deserve.
“CAN’T IMAGINE HE WILL BE LIVING THIS WELL IN RUSSIA”
Assad Family have offshores with literally billions of dollar thats generate millions every week…
Only thing that will change is the weather…
It’s SAD but it’s true..
Luxurious maybe, ugly and cold atmosphere though …
Nobody comes in power without the backing of America or Russia. This is clearly an American coup taking advantage of the war in Ukraine that is where Putin focused lies.
What about Saudis, Qataris and UAE?
“I need a ride, not ammo”
Give it 6 months, it’s gonna be Afghanistan 2.0 😕
Crazy to see the west cheering on his fall. What’s after him is way worse.
Putler kaput
He was born on September 11th.. WILD STUFF.
The UK royal family has probably 100 times Assad’s wealth,
Not to mention the Rothschild with a 1000 times
Obama, Biden, Trump all x times.
How stupid NBC is …🤷🏻♂️🤦♂️
01:47 I guess this will be used as bargaining chip in regards of the status of Russian military base in Syria
In the end it didn’t do any good. A statement to remember
He might ve gone but he for sure has a few billion stashed away.
All leaders of all countries are the same
He is living in a very expensive neighborhood in Moskou with his millions of dollars!
Imagine Hollywood Stars, MSNBC anchors and Insurance CEOs living in same luxury while a third of population live on food pantries or are imprisoned!!!
Russia has no use of him left, he will be sent soon. Assad is trash without Syria.
Imagine watching terrorists and woke news organisations walking through your house. How disgusting
The people in here crying for Assad are just too much. It’s incredible how you will find boot licking maggots and dictator fetishists are over the world. You people are sad.
This is the official presidential palace, but it wasn’t his main residence.
Why did he say “I can’t imagine him living this nice in Russia” does he not realize his closest ally is the legitimate richest person in the world (Putin), and he will definitely set him up nicely. Not to mention the tens of millions Assad already has himself. I’m sure he’ll be doing just fine unfortunately…
It reminds me of Hitler home
No golden toilet,,,? Like Trump….?
Did he eats at MacDonald….?
Looks
Tacky
You guys should do the next episode on Nancy Pelosi and her stock portfolio
Did you expect him to be living like a hoarder, with stacks of D.C. COMICS sitting in boxes ? 😀
Fake ASF
He should be held for fake news an jailed
If i could choose between this wealth and Walking in the streets of my hometown freely i would choose the second
He’s not going to live poorly in exile. He’s going to a mansion in Moscow.
Оно
Wax and wane
Hes in the comment section
Geeze when will the world wake-up, and say dictators, communism, socialism doesn’t work in society. Huh..imagine them all living so well like this
Can we trust the reports from American media…..can they tell us about American support for shah of Iran, Batista in Cuba etc.
Don’t destroy it. Don’t ransack it. Instead either keep it for the new president or convert it into a tourist destination. I was in Syria last year, will go back, and would easily pay $15 for an entry ticket. And entry tickets are cheap, only 30 cents to enter the Krak des Chevaliers (plus $15 baksheesh to the guards for letting us enter every part of the castle).
God be with the people of Syria, especially the children.
Putin has the power to send Assad back if he chose. He won’t be doing that.
😢
Assad watching righ now getting his house flipped upside down and looted 😂😂😂😂
🤢🤢🤢 sick
Looks like a gualdy shopping mall! 😂
Great episode of MTV cribs.
What does the Living Quarters in Joe’s Basement look like? Just Curious 😂
Wants to show us bathroom, proceeds to take 80% of the frame in the camera 😂
Richard Engel another JUW
Don’t you find it funny that a lot of dictators love the western lifestyle but always bashes the west?
This also how the palace of Africa leaders who are puppet to the west look like he is a detector if he don’t listen to America, evil species
This is probably peanuts compared to how Putin lives
