ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

Have kept an eye out for word of the al-Assad family in Russia, which have been sparse other than the usual he must face trial schtick, etcetera. There have been a few article on that head-chopper critter who now wears an Omega watch and Armani suite - well probably does after his make-over.
The following was from the end of January of this year quoting Lavrov. It seems the al-Assad family are 100 percent under asylum, and like Snowden, may never leave.
3 months ago Russia was playing it nice with the head-chopper as he became a player in the game - ultimately an expendable proxy puppet for Israel and the U.S., along with all Western countries who were all-in the so-called regime change since long ago. They have been all-in because they were told to be by their owners, on account of wishful thinking over the broader Middle East geopolitical landscape issues as seen today (what a mess).
Take the below with a grain of salt, and somewhere in there are perhaps some long-term chess moves:

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed Thursday that the trial of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was closed a long time ago, and that Russia's partners are fully aware of the circumstances of his arrival in Russia, according to Sputnik.
Asked about his position on requests for the prosecution of al-Assad, Lavrov told Turkish state TV channel, TRT, and Türkiye newspaper, that, “This issue has not been raised for a long time. Our partners are fully aware of the circumstances surrounding al-Assad and his family’s arrival in the Russian Federation in December 2024.”
Back then, Lavrov said, “Al-Assad’s life was under threat. He was granted asylum in Russia for purely humanitarian reasons, and he took it. As you may observe (if you follow our domestic affairs), al-Assad does not interfere in Syrian political affairs.”
He added that “understandings are now being substantiated. Processes long envisioned with our Turkish friends are beginning to take shape in Syria today, particularly regarding the political integration of Kurdish communities into Syria’s governmental, military and security structures,” he said.
On Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the presence of Russian military bases in Syria was discussed during talks between Putin and Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa in Moscow.
Putin told al-Sharaa that Moscow always supported Syria’s integrity and congratulated him on reclaiming control over the area, describing it as a “very important step.”
“You know that we always stood for the restoration of Syria’s territorial integrity, and we support all your efforts in this direction,” Putin said.
For his part, al-Sharaa, who first visited Russia in October, thanked Putin for helping to stabilize Syria.
Al-Sharaa led a swift opposition offensive in December 2024 that ousted former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who enjoyed Moscow’s support for years as his government fought a devastating civil war. {with Western oppositional supplies, financing and training}
Last Tuesday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the rights of Kurdish citizens in Syria are guaranteed by a special presidential decree. On January 16, al‑Sharaa issued Decree No. (13) of 2026 affirming that Syrian Kurdish citizens are an integral and authentic part of the Syrian people, and that their cultural and linguistic identity is an inseparable component of Syria’s unified and diverse national identity.
Speaking at a ceremony for the Overseas Contracting Services Success Awards in Ankara, Erdogan reiterated his call on the PKK/YPG to abandon autonomy demands. “The shelf life of terrorism has expired,” he said.
