He did. He said that Iranian weapons deliveries to Lebanon from syria gives israel an excuse to bomb syria. Israeli clandestine activities may provide some insight, but usa sentiments and Israeli policy is more or less the same, ie crippling ceaser sanctions and support to rebels. He mentions that the current lack of coherent policy is why the Arab states are now pursuing strategic independence. He specifically mentioned Israeli Arab normalization attempts by the trump administration, implying that trump has a coherent policy for the middle east, but now usa tried and failed to reach agreements with iran and just forgot about the middle east. The role Israel plays as part of Arab states pursuing independence in playing the different powers in east and west is very interesting but not specifically related to syria, in my opinion (though it reminds me of how syria managed some of its own independence by playing iranian and russian powers). Maybe another video about that or one focusing on Palestine will give insight (ie the competition of influence between turkey and syria plus iran between plalestinian resistance groups). Or maybe discussing Israel's neutral policies regarding Russia (considering they refused to help Ukraine, since they want to continue the tacit agreements allowing them to strike Iranian assets through the Russian controlled airspace of syria, probably). However I would be interested how further discussing Israel, with or without the context of this video can bring more insights! Take care

The Assads are tough. Bashar's father, Hafez Assad, is perhaps the most underrated Arab leader, and probably the single toughest leader in post-war Middle east He was in a hopeless situation militarily, leading a country with no significant oil wealth and having to face vastly superior Israeli forces. He still managed a triumph in Lebanon, first by killing Gemayel, and then by turning the war into Israel's Vietnam. Hezbollah was created by Iran, but without Assad's support and guidance it could have never evolved into what it is today. Also, Assad was something of a forerunner to Putin, in that he had an impressive network of supporters ranging from far-left George Habash to far-right European nationalists.

You left out a critical piece of the puzzle, mainly Syria and Hezbollah flooding Saudi Arabia and UAE with massive amounts of Captagon.

[@YoungSantasGroupie]

Yeah, captagon and synthetic drugs are huge in the black market. In Asia they fall captagon Shabu, basically the same drug, amphetamine similar to meth. Likely most of the Captagon is coming out of South Asia. The golden triangle (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, China) which dominated the heroin trade has been more or less repurposed for these new drugs. Many raw ingredient pharmaceuticals come from southern India and then use the old drug smuggling routes into Myanmar. Since Myanmar has had nearly endless civil conflict, drug cartels can operate more or less unbothered in the highlands. There’s a good chance that China is controlling a lot of the drug trade behind the scenes, a sort of strategic destabilization.

As a Syrian citizen, the revolution was not peaceful at all. "It's been planned for years." Syrian intelligence seized huge quantities of American weapons in Syria before the war. Its goal was to support the rebels. The rapid development of events and the weakness of the Syrian experience at that time made the reaction of the government, which sensed the danger, very violent. The rebels were like poison in the air. Inside Syria, you cannot know your enemy. Perhaps your brother, who owns the same house, suddenly becomes rebellious and blows himself up. Events have accelerated too quickly to be unplanned. Suddenly, we had hundreds of thousands of foreign mercenaries backed by Western weapons, and the world turned against the Syrian government, which had been discredited by the opposition. Media supported by Arabs and Turks. The strange thing that shocked those who tried to overthrow Assad was his extreme calm. He showed no signs of fear or fatigue. Look, for example, at the beginning of the war, the President of Ukraine was as if he was urinating on himself out of extreme fear. It showed on his face, but Assad was...calm and wise. He preserved Syria’s main army weapon, which is the huge arsenal of ballistic missiles and missile factories in Syria, which did not... None of them are used in war.

[@carrotcake12348]

as a syrian citizen myself, it is people like you who held back the revolution. the protests WERE peaceful and were inspired by the brutal detainment and torture of children at the hands of the regime. you should know better than anyone than innocent children make up thousands of detainees in prisoners. and yet you’re portraying the rebels are the problem? “suddenly becomes rebellious and blows himself up” you’re delusional if you think that was the purpose of rebellion or a natural course of action they would take. your comment is ambiguous but you don’t seem opposed to the genocidal maniac’s regime who acts as putin’s puppet master. you should really revise your comment and your views.

Research the relationship between the gas war and the Qatari gas pipeline in Syria, and you will find that Qatar, the Gulf, Turkey, and the Muslim Brotherhood are the ones who created the revolution in Syria in order to change the Assad regime and replace it with a pro-American regime that extends the Qatari gas pipeline through Syria. Syrian intelligence has seized huge quantities of American weapons in Syria since the first days, and these are not hypotheses. This is a certain thing. Look at what Qatar's Foreign Minister said publicly about Syria. He said: “We are the ones who ignited the revolution in Syria.” There are many videos on KZbin of him talking about this.

[@konsule1565]

Amazing report 👍as usual 🔥 Here are a few updates, which are not expected to be known if you are not living there. - 15 years ago! there was a plan to build gas/oil pipelines from Qatar/KSA/Kuwait/and Bahrain to Europe, to provide Europe with all its needs and eliminate the dependencies on the Russian oil/gas. The pipelines were supposed to go from the Golf area through Saudi Arabia north to Jordan, Syria, Turkey, then Europe. everyone was on board except Syria. Russia was aware of this plan and was able to secure the Syrian government on its side. When the Arab Springs started to crash the Arab countries like dominos across the Arab countries! The Golf area and Turkey used their money and weapons to spark a civil war considering AL Asad is from a minority ethnicity in Syria (Alawie), and the majority are like the Arab Peninsula and Turkey (Sunna). It was a brutal civil war, really really brutal, only Syrian who were there know exactly how hard was it. Now Russia is keeping supporting the Syrian Government for multiple reasons and in exchange for taking control of the new-discovered oil/gas field in the sea in front of the Syrian coast. Turkey used this war to control more of what the Kurds used to control. The !$i$ creation was brutal, rebels and mercenaries from all the Arab countries, Turkey, Central Asia, and even Africa rushed to fight there. The amount of money from all these countries and the USA was huge. made every cheap soul rush there to fight. In 2015 Russia had to interfere to protect its presence, now like the report said, not all of the country is under their control, but most of it, and stale military situation, but the economic situation is beyond repair, people are starving, and believe it or not, they are getting 1 hour or less electricity every 5 hours. - Not to mention, there was a huge catch for the USA during the war, Do you remember the Silicon Valley crisis a few years ago? The USA used to depend on Bengal Silicon to support the tech industry, however, the Bengal Silicon was and still around 70% pure, the Syrian desert, specifically, northeast Syria (and West of Iraq) where are the American bases now, have over 90% purity Silicon, which was the catch for the American presence, also where the bases in the south of Syria near the Jordanian border. All the details in the video, plus these key points, plus the Israeli protection against the mess there, plus the Turkish agenda to use the Syrian refugee against Europe as a pressure card to join the EU, plus the drop of educated people there who spread around the world, plus the uncontrolled weapon traffic, and many more made the situation way more complicated. Also, the Chinese agenda to invest in Syria to have privilege in the Mediterranean shouldn't be ignored.

[@SusCalvin]

al-Assad and his state has simlar arguments to other dictators. The alternative is between me and chaos, partly because I have crushed all alternatives other than chaos. It doesn't make the conflicts leading up to the Arab Spring go away.

Libya was a bustling economy, where people had free education, free health care, free housing - and where their President, Muammar Gaddafi, a visionary, wanted to help Africa out of western dependence and neo-colonial oppression, making Africa a sovereign Continent, with a sovereign monetary system, detached from the Bank of France and the Bank of England, controlling its own resources and its own monetary Resources. Gaddafi was NOT a human rights abuser, as the west and western media conveniently painted him. To the contrary, Gaddafi was a leader for the people of Libya and for Africa. He wanted Africa to be free. That was his sin. The real abusers, mostly France, the UK and the United States, couldn’t allow the Resources richest Continent or the planet be independent. The west coveted these resources.

1. The plan was to remove Soviet-Russian influence from the Middle East before another super-power try to overtake the US. However, the US failed to achieve anything close to their goals and as matter of fact it only backfired on them. 2. Oil/Gas from Middle East to European countries was another goal for the US to stop. I have to say that they indeed achieve that but that also cost the US as Europeans (people) are mad at American wars in the Middle East which caused massive refugees crisis. From Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, even Lebanon and Iran due to sanctions. To Europeans it wasn't their wars nor would they gain anything from it, America didn't face massive refugees crisis due to their wars. 3. After WWII the US had the same idea of making military bases in the Middle East (like they did in Asia and EU), BUT forcefully because many Middle Eastern countries don't like outsiders. You most likely know about Iran coup, the US role in Afghanistan, supporting Iraq and backstabbing them, supporting ISIL/Daesh in Iraq/Syria, etc etc etc. TLDR, it is about controlling to stay in power, the Middle East still power the world and you can see how KSA/UAE cutting oil output to help out Russia... make West sanctions on Russia useless. The Middle East war is done, the US is moving to Ukraine and once that is done, the US moving to Asia (Taiwan).
