Trump says Russia and Iran are in a weakened state
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump posted on social media platform Truth Social Sunday, saying that "Assad has fled his country. His protector, Russia ... led by Vladimir Putin, was not interested in protecting him any longer."
He also wrote that Russia “lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead."
He added that “Russia and Iran are in a weakened state right now, one because of Ukraine and a bad economy, the other because of Israel and its fighting success.”
