Najah al-Attar, 91, served as VP until the regime's fall. Farouk al-Sharaa is 86. Elder reviled henchmen Ali Aslan and Rauf al-Kasm are both 92. Will they finish in a mass grave? Will they be exiled? Simply no one gives a single fuck then they will die in obscurity? Najah al-Attar... completely betrayed Assad and expressed joy for the fall of tyrannical regime, of which she was nr 2.

Thatcher 2,699 Posted December 22, 2024 Asma al-Assad reportedly files for divorce, requesting to be allowed to return to the UK for medical treatment. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 13,058 Posted December 22, 2024 1 hour ago, Thatcher said: Asma al-Assad reportedly files for divorce, requesting to be allowed to return to the UK for medical treatment. If Starmer and Lammy had any backbone (which they don't) they wouldn't let her back in given the anti-British sentiments she came out with whilst married to a brutal dictator. She has dual nationality – we shouldn't have to take her back. She'd probably argue that if she returns to Syria they'd execute her, which I don't think many ppl would complain about.

maryportfuncity 10,757 Posted December 23, 2024 Kremlin denying his missus wants out of the marriage (so that's as good as an admission) and doubtless the top-end cancer treatment she's enjoyed in the past is bait. Well, that and the "theatre, opera and visiting the cinema" Wikipedia lists as her interests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Asma is dying,' a source who has spoken directly to the family in recent weeks said. 'She can't be in the same room with anyone [because of her condition]. Sources told the Telegraph he has been caring for her for much of the last six months, in Moscow and the UAE, as she battles a 'vicious' form of cancer. 'She has been 50/50 in the last few weeks,' a source in contact with the family said. The headline is misleading. Typical underestimation of acute leukemia in adults. Her type of cancer doesn't even have a 50% survival rate to begin with, let alone after a relapse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bentrovato 1,131 Posted December 26, 2024 Anyone know if there are relatives on Asma's side of the family here in the UK where the children could go if she dies and Putin then puts a bullet in Assad's head once she is gone. He will not do it before then. Bad form . etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
