Assad resigned on his own and told his army to stop fighting. To avoid a bloodbath. He has protected his country for 15 years and this time something was different and he saw the futility of resisting. He did save a lot of lives this way - but unfortunately most likely these lives will be gone under a terrorist government. It is very must like Ukraine: the “opposition” government make a pact with neo Nazis (Zionist-proxy terrorists) and then these terrorists take over. The Zionist idea about Syria is to annex Golan Heights and force Alawites and Christians out, either by killing them or by transferring them to ghettos.
