As we turn to the question of what comes next, the United States will work with our partners and the stakeholders in Syria to help them seize an opportunity to manage the risk,” he continued. Biden’s comments follow reports that a coalition of Syrian rebel groups rapidly advanced on government-held territory and overtook the capital of Damascus. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his family fled the country and reportedly landed in Moscow.

He also pledged to continue the mission against ISIS and to ensure the security of detention facilities in Syria that hold ISIS fighters. “We’re clear-eyed about the fact that ISIS will try to take advantage of the new vacuum to reestablish its capability and create a safe haven. We will not let that happen,” Biden said. He added that U.S. forces conducted a dozen precision air strikes in Syria on Sunday, targeting ISIS camps and operatives. But he noted that it isn’t just ISIS that poses a threat. Biden said the U.S. will stay vigilant, adding that some of the rebel groups that took down Assad’s regime have their own records of terrorism and human rights abuses. Biden also received criticism for his continued neglect of Americans. President Biden is pledging our billions to rebuild Syria.

REBUILD NORTH CAROLINA. NOT SYRIA. pic.twitter.com/xKvR98MBpU — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) December 8, 2024 CBS News reports: The president said Russia's support for Assad fell short because Ukraine has been able to inflict "massive damage" on Russian forces recently . "The upshot for all this is, for the first time ever, neither Russia nor Iran nor Hezbollah could defend this abhorrent regime in Syria," Mr. Biden said, calling it a "direct result" of Ukraine and Israel's self defense with the "unflagging support" of the U.S. "Our approach has shifted the balance of power in the Middle East," the president added. "Opposition fighters in Syria, in an unprecedented move, have totally taken over numerous cities, in a highly coordinated offensive, and are now on the outskirts of Damascus, obviously preparing to make a very big move toward taking out Assad. Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the loss there of over 600,000 soldiers, seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria, a country they have protected for years. This is where former President Obama refused to honor his commitment of protecting the RED LINE IN THE SAND, and all h*** broke out, with Russia stepping in. But now they are, like possibly Assad himself, being forced out, and it may actually be the best thing that can happen to them. There was never much of a benefit in Syria for Russia, other than to make Obama look really stupid," President Trump said Saturday. "In any event, Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!" he added.
