A Russian-Backed Monster Falls, More Notes On What Comes Next, Our Final 2024 House Tally

Simon Rosenberg

Good morning all. Got a few things for you today:

Assad, A Russian-backed Monster, Falls - The fall of Assad is among the consequential events of the Biden-Harris Presidency, and we will spending a lot of time here in the coming days talking about what happened and what it means for the US and the world going forward.

As we wake today it is clear the Russian-Iranian alliance fighting in Ukraine and throughout the Middle East has suffered another significant blow. Israel has dramatically weakened their proxies, Hamas and Hizbollah, and now a very anti-Iran/Russia government will take over in Syria. For us here in the US this huge strategic setback for Putin will matter in coming foreign and domestic policy fights and in the battle for some of Trump’s very Russian-aligned nominees - Herseth, Gabbard and Kennedy.

Recommended reading from around the Internet today (gift links where possible) on the fall of Assad:
