Was the fall of Bashar al-Assad truly a defeat for Russia, or was it part of a larger strategic calculation? In a recent podcast excerpt, analysts Ali Ramos and Leonardo Russo from the 3 Irmãos Podcast explore this provocative question, suggesting that Moscow may have allowed certain developments in Syria to unfold for its own geopolitical interests.
Rather than viewing Assad's ouster as a failure, the analysts propose it could have been a tactical repositioning in the Middle East—a move that allows Russia to shift focus or gain leverage elsewhere. The discussion delves into hybrid warfare, power dynamics, and the often invisible maneuvers of global geopolitics.
Was this a strategic failure or a calculated move? The podcast episode, titled "The Secret Behind the Middle East Wars" (#955), offers a deep dive into the complexities of international relations and military strategy.
