Arrr, matey! The Russian sea dogs be spillin’ the beans that Bashar Assad’s hoisted the white flag, leaving Syria as the Islamist scallywags storm the shores! They say Moscow had naught to do with the parley, but ol’ Bashar swapped his crown for a merry exit! Har har!

Avast ye scallywags! Gather 'round, for I bring ye tidings from the land of the snow and vodka! The Russian Foreign Ministry, those crafty sea serpents, have declared that the notorious Bashar Assad, the captain of the Syrian ship, has taken a swig of courage and decided to set sail from his post, leavin’ the country faster than a ship in full sail!

This here news comes on the heels of the mighty Islamist forces takin’ a firm grip on Damascus, the fair port city. It seems that after some hearty negotiations with the armed opposition—who be likened to a crew of unruly pirates—Assad thought it wise to swap his captain’s hat for a life preserver, lettin’ the winds of change blow him away!

Now, the Russians be proclaimin’ that they had naught to do with this high seas business, claimin’ their hands be clean of the negotiations. Nevertheless, they tip their tricorn hats to Assad’s decision to transfer power “peacefully,” as if it be a fine barrel of rum bein’ passed ‘round. So, raise yer tankards to new adventures on the horizon, as the winds of fortune be blowin’ in strange directions! Yarrr!
