capitulation of his regime may be confirmed by the time this episode

comes out. The mainstream media are paying attention and giving these

events prominence fitting with their historical importance. The rapid

collapse of the Assad clan’s 50-year reign of tyranny is a major blow to

Russia and Iran in the region and will send out shockwaves to

autocratic regimes around the world. Colour revolutions are back. It’s

doubtful Putin will see these as organic manifestations of people power,

or reactions to the brutal repressions of dictators. For him, autocracy

is the natural order of the world, so he is likely to see plots and

conspiracies by his enemies behind the unfolding events. The walls are

closing in on Putin, as one-by-one his schemes to project Russian power,

control and influence fail.

Hezbollah and Hamas are decimated, and their power much reduced. The

Islamic Republic of Iran is greatly weakened and humiliated. The attempt

at state capture in Romania through one of the Kremlin’s puppet

populist politicians has failed decisively. The reaction of the Romains

security services, and electoral commission provides a template for how

sovereign democracies should fight back hard against Kremlin influence

and operations. The decades-long attempt at state capture in Georgia is

faltering, fast descending into brutal repression and violence. The mask

of Kremlin intentions has been ripped off. The hybrid approach is no

longer effective, and they are resorting to brutish violence in their

desperation.

Lenin's quote comes to mind, there are decades when nothing happens and

then weeks when decades happen.
