[h=1]Syria Wants Russian Businesses To Help Rebuild Country, As Assad Considers 'Resignation'[/h]
Interesting. So, how will Russia do at nation building?
Is Assad serious about resigning, or does he just want the West to think Russia has him "eating out of the palm of their hands?"
Syrians want Russian multinationals to help rebuild the country, once (and if) the smoke clears. At least this is the view from Russian politicians with skin in the game.
Assad, speaking through the state run Russian media, allegedly said he would allow for democratic elections or even resign if it would help Syria heal. That would give someone the chance to challenge Assad for the first time ever. This may very well be lip service, in order to show the West that Russia has Assad eating out of the palm of their hands.
