One would hope he is dealt with if he uses chemical weapons. But obviously Assad (and Russia?) have been using chemical weapons in Syria with no consequences.

Simply because there is more eyes on Ukraine than Syria and Salisbury was a small scale attack.

Taking out a city that’s fully in world
News would cause more if an up roar sorry to say but the world (wrongly) don’t really care about Syria.
 
$160 million lost today just in aircraft, for a country with a fairly small economy. Never mind the 100 or so other vehicles & equipment lost just today.
This is not sustainable.

Not going to happen for two reasons, those close to him are of the same mindset and they owe everything they have to him

There will always come a time when they don’t agree or feel they have to do something (i hope) to prevent further escalation. I suspect those millionaires and massive companies being heavily sanctioned will have a lot to say about what happens next

As bobster999 suggested, it's a poor quality video with compression artifacts creating the illusion of his hand going through the mic. This is the original in HD from about 14 secs.

You can clearly see his hand does not go through the mic. The video from reddit has since been deleted though it's still posted in other places. If you still can't see it then slow it down to 0.25 speed.

Change the video quality to 240p and play it again and you will see the hand through the mic illusion and that's just Youtube's own compression engine at work.

Similar optical illusion to that Biden video I put up a few posts back. Crazy they always seem to involve microphones mind 😊
 
Some heartbreaking but also heartwarming photographs of soldiers helping people evacuate.
