But!
But the model of Assad's collapse must say something very stressful to Putin:
You win elections with colossal percentages, you control the media, you crush the opposition, society considers you the sole guarantor of the state and statehood, the army is unconditionally subordinate to you and you send it to the slaughter for your own paranoid reasons and with your own idiotic arguments, and it goes there like countless columns of cannon fodder...
And suddenly!
And suddenly everything collapses in three days, no one defends you, the soldiers run away, the people stay at home, your loyalists in the government your loyalists in the government abandon you, not a single good word is heard about you, and you run in panic to some Pyongyang on a plane, packed with your closest people and most expensive belongings...
