The fall of Bashar al-Assad could bring with it another negative impact for Russia, which has not yet been discussed.
It has long been known that Assad has flooded the Middle East with the drug Captagon (a type of methamphetamine).
It is no secret that the Russian army in Ukraine is struggling to survive on alcohol and has long since switched to the almost universal use of stimulant drugs, as has been mentioned many times in Russian military blogs.
The availability and cheap price of "Map" (Captagon) in the Russian army most likely indicates that it is Captagon that comes from Assad's distribution network, with a production cost of only one cent per pill.
The fall of Assad's "Captagon empire" is something that could devastate the youth of the Middle East, many of them who are hooked to the drug.
Will the Russian army, "invincible and legendary", be able to cope with the situation? Hundreds of thousands of militants could be left without these stimulants at once.
International newspapers and news agencies report that trade in Captagon in the Middle East has almost ceased following the defeat of Hezbollah and the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime.
