As a Syrian, I really do not appreciate the title "the Fall of Syria." I know what it's trying to say, but for us, Syria has never risen so much as it has in the last month. It had always been fallen before and it only just got up on its feet. "The Fall of the Syrian Regime" or similar would be more appropriate.

Israel is not inciting the new government, the new government is allowing all of this to happen because they serve Israel's interests.

Here’s the transcript: "...and it was the only Middle Eastern states to openly support Iran during its brutal 8-year war against Saddam's Iraq throughout the 1980s."

[@gregoryaxel9168]

True, it was Saddam Hussein and his personal greed that incites the Iran-Iraq War hiding behind different Islamic denominations.

[@megalonoobiacinc4863]

it doesn't. Unless you have lived in a cave it would be assumed you know Sadam was the aggressor, just like with Kuwait, and the video isn't difficult to understand unless you are trying to do so intentionally.

[@RickJaeger]

I can confirm it doesn't suggest that. A bad listener or reader might come away with that understanding, but if a person has at least a decent understanding of English, then they won't. For example, the United States waged war against Japan in WW2, but we didn't strictly start that war-no contradiction in that. To wage war just means to do war, not specifically to be the aggressor in war.

[@OmidVahidi]

I want to clarify that it’s not what the narrator has stated; in fact, he clearly mentions later in the video that it was Iraq that attacked Iran. However, the way this sentence was structured led me to perceive it as implying that Iran was the aggressor.

[@blaskovitz_1693]

That was the most concise, informative presentation of a subject I've watched in ... years, honestly. I've never delved too deeply into the Syrian civil war and the reasons and all that.

Not only do I feel like this was the most informative 'not even an hour' in a long time, I think, the last instance I felt like that was one of your videos as well. It was about Ukraine and the ressources on their coasts and how that must've been a major factor in the Russian aggression.

2:30 In case you forgot, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, not Tel Aviv

[@brannondagor3571]

USA recognition is not enough to change the actual reality. Maybe true later, but not right now.

[@Muslim_israeli]

@brannondagor3571 The reality is that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. The only flag that flies in Jerusalem is the Israeli flag, the police are the Israel Police, all of Israel's government offices and administration are in Jerusalem, and over 1 million Israelis (10% of Israel's total population) live in Jerusalem.

[@brannondagor3571]

​@@Muslim_israeli My bad, english is not my native language, i just should have change my sentence by "USA recognition is not enough to change the actual perception. Maybe true later, but not right now." Jerusalem is de facto capital, sure. Doesn't mean most of the internationnal community or people agree. And pushing for the recognition is more a political a political statement that anything else.

@@brannondagor3571 USA recognition does not determine what the capital of a country is though. Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel for decades at this point.

As in Israeli , no one needs that Syrian land , it belongs to the people of Syria. Always have been. Once someone can assure the security of the region , the IDF will gladly will draw back. Israel has no wishes to expand it territory here or anywhere else (including Gaza). I hope the Syrian people will know peace which they so much deserve.

Syria is actually in a strategic location though, so it makes sense in this case. But I’m pretty sure he said the same thing about places like Mongolia and Chad 😂

You get my point.

[@RuffinItAB]

Pretty much everything is strategic to some nation or power. For example the post Soviet Eastern bloc might mostly be open and very difficult to defend but the sheer distance and population buffer they provide to Russia make them a huge defensively strategic area for them. Then places like Syria are strategic because it is a foothold for Eastern powers and a border/buffer region for western powers. All geography has some strategic value, it mostly depends on what the cost/benefit of said geography is to the powers that wish to gain influence in said area. Strategic value is pretty much just a matter of perspective and objectives.

the last time turkey had dominance over trade to europe, they found america and colonized the world. hopefully turkey remembers that.

[@hanzzel6086]

Huh? This makes no sense. Are you a bot?

[@dominic.decoco]

​@@hanzzel6086 It makes sense. turks were a super power for centuries by controlling the trade routes between east and west. And the end prices were rising so high, particularly all the way to spain and portugal, europe needed to find other ways to india and china. and during their endeavors, they stumbled upon a whole new continent! perhaps the turks would push europe to do something equally strange and wonderful this time around jajajaja
