The Syrian civil wars is literally the definition of outside Medelling, Russia, US, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey .. Holy crap it's like a G8 Summit down there.
You are wrong. What is happening in Syria is the rule of non-Muslim minorities over the Muslim people of Syria, and the proportion of Arab Muslims exceeds 85 percent, meaning the overwhelming majority.
AS a Syrian who lived through the war since 2011, I can tell you that's this is only about 30% of what actually happened in Syria. This is mostly what's going on on the table but underneath it is way more different. At the end the Syrian people are the only one who lost in this war.
Imagine being an optometrist one day and a few years later you are fighting a civil war against at least 6 different rebel groups supported by 7 different sovereign powers including the U.S.
The US literally sabotaged the rebels and prevented countries like Turkiye and Qatar from giving them heavy weapons and ADS. They literally asked Russia to intervene to save Assad because they did not want him to lose and they bombed the rebels for him. Also countries like the UAE and Saudi literally betrayed the rebels and gave intelligence to Assad and Russia so they could take out their leaders. And funny of you to ignore that he almost lost even with all of Iran´s support until Russia and the West started bombing them from the air.
An ophthalmologist who's the son of a military dictator, and when he dies they amend the minimum age requirement in the constitution just so you can become the next President.
great work, as a syrian i don't have much to say against your perspective. but i would like to add that the ceasar law affected us greatly and was and still is the reason why the region is suffering financially, with the syrian pound falling every day and people suffering from it, literally the monthly wage has become 10 dollars for us in here while living expenses only increased
this are the realities on the ground that the US fails to see when they slap sanctions on countries. more than the governments, it's the people who hurt the most
Assad has won the war. He's alive, and regained all regional capitals, and like 90% of the areas in terms of gdp. A massive win by Assad. Ofc it is still a loss in the sense that every war is a loss, and losing significant geopolitical leverage for over a decade, but if you fight, this is about the best case scenario one can hope for.
Unfortunate that he's just another Putin, caring little about the lives of his citizens, but willing to sacrifice them to advance his authoritarian goals.
Also defintely couldve kept some more geopolitical leverage had he not gassed his own people. Once he did that, he guaranteed a strict condemnation and even partially invited western intervention. In the long run, gas was unnecessary
Nothing goes back to normal. Syria is still divided between 3 different armies and ISIS is on the rise again, because Russia and Assad do nothing against the jihadists.
Normal for the US is, we are done bleeding for Arabs. Look at MBS scurrying everywhere looking for protection from Tehran. He ain't getting any from Uncle Sam and he knows it. Good luck, Persian Gulf. You'll be moaning for the good old days when the terrible Americans ran things pretty damn soon.
Dude, I know you’re a Polish guy doing all these from your last video on Poland, your videos are just fantastic and I really appreciate them over here in Florida. Keep up the great work. Just give us the situation - your Iraq invasion video was one of the best geopolitics videos I’ve seen on UA-cam; no bias, no agenda, just what actually happened
This guy as well as infographics show, real life lore and some others are dirty western propaganda machines. Those who know little to nothing about these subjects will be learning it for the first time from these guys and will end up believing a twisted version of history.
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
Overall this is a good summary of events. What you could keep in mind in the future is to include the natural resources map of the countries in question. Especially in the case of Syria seeing the oil and gas sites of the country next to the different nations' military deployments helps you get an understanding that's currently lacking in the current form of this video. Other than that, keep up the good work :)
Nah that’s Wendover Productions job 💀😂 he dropped a couple bangers regarding the resource issues in the Middle East, which goes beyond pointing fingers at Russia/US/Iran/Israel/Turkey/Etc.
As far as America’s concerned, any oil Syria gas (as well as the entire Middle East) is irrelevant. Thanks to Shale, we’re basically energy independent, and that’s before we get more alternative energy sources like Nuclear and Renewables online
When a reporter asked Trump what he‘s doing in Syria, he said that their troops are there because of the oil. It‘s a shame because Syria would have enjoyed peace already if Obama hadn‘t invaded it
Can you do a video on global birth rates? In places like East Asia, people just cannot afford to have children, and even if they could, they wouldn't have time to raise their children due to the nature of the East Asian work culture and their careers would be negatively impacted. Governments like Japan and Korea aren't committing to solving the root of the problem, but instead hope that cash incentives will raise births. I'm using East Asia as an example as that is where the causes of the problem are most extreme.
Only reason western world have bigger birth rate is because of immigrants. And unlike the US western Europe has absolutely failed to integrate the muslim population. The second and third generation of Muslims are more homophobic and more likely to join terrorist group than the first generation. My history teacher says western Europe will look like Israel in the future. It won't become islamic like many fa right says but there will be more terrorist attacks and more security guards in many European streets. Meanwhile in east asia individualism will start to grow and family structure will collapse. Completely. I really don't know which is worse.
It's overhyped. Working hours in Japan is less than USA or Canada. Birth rate in Japan is 1.47 It has increased, Japan took measures to tackle it. Korea are still implementing it there birth rate is below 1.0 while their work hours is longest in statistics. Japan of today is not 2010. It just youtubers use Japan for Views with recycling 1990 economy downturn again and again
Westerners are in no position to talk about it, especially because most of them don't know anything about east asia except what the news try to tell them.
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.
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.
@@carrotcake12348 You have been brainwashed thanks to propaganda and theatrics for 13 years by the foreign-backed opposition. Who are the children who were tortured in Daraa? What are their names? Where are the families? Where are their pictures before and after torture? The revolution was never peaceful. You think it's just that. I lived it and know its details. 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 UA-cam of him talking about this. How can someone remain brainwashed for 13 years?
You left out a critical piece of the puzzle, mainly Syria and Hezbollah flooding Saudi Arabia and UAE with massive amounts of Captagon. This very lucrative drug trade has added billions to Assad's treasure chest and keeps Hezbollah floating in endless cash. KSA and UAE see this as a strategic threat and they need to make nice with Damascus and Teheran to get them to stop smuggling the drugs into the rich gulf countries.
Syria produces 80% of the global supply. Al-Assad is exporting to the whole planet, not just the Gulf Countries. They know he's not going to be as crippled by western sanctions as he'd otherwise be, has Russian backing, & controls one of the most powerful, experienced armies in the Levant.
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.
Back when the Syrian conflict kicked off, I saw John McCain saber rattling, along with other politicians of both major parties, and instantly thought it seemed like US meddling.
Let states such as Syria and Libya be a brutal reminder to civilians around the world not to jump on the bandwagon of foreign interference. These countries were destroyed and thrown back decades. And all this for what? 'Democracy'?
One hand wages the 'war on terror' while the other moulds terrorists. Contradiction? No. Nor was there any confusion at the command-level about, say, Libya's rebels being 'doctors, lawyers and dentists desiring democracy', whatever the papers may have printed. For a glimpse at the same technic at work in the now-considerable past, peruse Aulaire's 'Geneva versus Peace'.
@@RamenXI no matter how hard you try to twist it because of your biased views, Syria is way, way, worse now than it was before the 'rebellion' started. For the west, the 'rebellion' was a means to install a western/Israeli friendly government, as opposed to the current Pro-Russian/Pro-Iranian anti-israeli regime, and for the local rebels, some of them were just opportunists who wanted to do better for themselves in a new government, or, worse, some were radical Islamists who wanted to get rid of secularism and other religions in Syria. Again, no matter how hard you try to twist it, none of these foreign and domestic groups ever really cared about democracy per se.
Not all arab supported the rebels Algeria was against syria suspension from the Arab league and foreign intervention in it That lead to Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar to To vocally Threatens algeria saying it will be next after syria And it had the idea to reintroduce syria to the arab league Way before outher arab countrys And was the first to provide Humanitarian aid in the Last year's earthquake When evryone ignored syria and put all the spot lights on turkey
Algeria tends to be on the right side in geopolitical conflicts. I'm sad of what I consider was my country's government's biggest failure: they chose Morocco over West Sahara, acknowledging Moroccan claims and angering the people here... I'm Spanish btw
It is amazing how little recognition exists in the West of the anti-Arab direction pursued very avidly by Western imperialism since 2003, but even before that. The PLO was undermined, assassinated and de-legitimized in the early 2000s. The next targets were Iraq, Libya, and Syria; all secular-leaning Arab states. Yes, if Syria falls, Algeria is next.

As an American im utterly ashamed of the US policy towards Syria, there is no way you can in good faith argue that arming & supporting al queada affiliated groups and other extremists is justifiable or that we have any right to be in Syria right now and occupy there oil fields, I do however respect Trump for being honest about the situation and not pushing for further escalations but he definitely should have pulled out the troops that the Obama administration sent in...
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.
As a Syrian the Assad family are the worst presidents you could ever imagine. They used chemical weopons against us , they stole money from civilians which explains assads wealth .he is cutting us from resources. we can get only 20liters of fuel every 2 weeks if not more. plus the price of fuel is about 2$ per liter , you have to wait in line to get bread. we get only 2hours of electricity daily. we get limited water. salaries are so low. Average salary in Syria is 50$ a month which cant get you rent. Thats why you see a huge number of Syrian refugees.
I was born and raised in the middle east, Lebanon specifically, it's never a surprise that once US interference declines in the region wars death and suffering declines aswell, this divide and conquer policy should be stopped for good, the tables are finally turning a big hell yeah for a multipolar world .
Before US, arabs and muslims were constantly at war. With US, arabs and muslims are still at war, albeit inhibited and defanged. The issue is Islam. Kurds, Dinkas, Jews, Coptics etc all seem to find ways to organize themselves peacefully....
The us troops in west of syria where there is a big oil field more than 3 billions of barrels political specialists said if you want to see american soldiers go where there is oil all this war is a consoiracy of usa of cors with the help of turkey and arabs us and turkey want stolen and share the oil and syria teritories arabs want want a gas pipe to pass through syria from qatar and saudi arrabia passing through turkey then europe syria refused this project they started a civil war by building an operating chamber the MOC ( military opretions chamber) including the secret services of the usa turkey qatar saudi arabia france and england to the south of turkey in adana with the borders of syria it's objective was to create armed groups composed of syrians and jihadists coming from all over the world the armed and trained and directed their military operations against the Syrian army the two main conditions required for these groups is not to attack or make a decision without taking the approval of this chamber second important condition is not to touch or harm to the security of israel especially in the occupied golan, we just have to destroy syria, all that i say was disclosed in a televised interview by the former qatari minister of foreign affairs the reason why this project failed is that russia intervened and the most important thing according to the Qatari minister is that there was a discord between the Saudis in one hand the Turks and Qatari in the other hand and the disagreements between American and Turkish also the remarks used by the former minister qatari is(We quarreled over hunting, and it flew out of our hands) after the help of russia syria recovered the majority of its territories the usa and turkey and their allies were afraid that they would defeat all its terrorist and armed groups so we created isis or daesh in order to stop the advance of the the Syrian and Russian army on the one hand and on the other hand given a pretext to stay and occupy the areas where there is oil all the Daeshians have entered through Turkish territory and this group which has more than 60,000 combatants s how in so little time gathered all the number if it is not an organized secret service work in addition this group has launches request horn which destroys the chards and which works with the laser launches request the only organization which has it is nato. syria was an economically prosperous country more than 80 percent of the people are middle class the syrian citizen had a job a house or apartment and a car it was the most secure country in the region girls go out to midnight without being assaulted or robbed the girl takes her car at 2 a.m. from the south west I go to the north east without being afraid the muslims the christians and the durz lived in harmony and in cohabitation the music the art the literature the the cinema was prosperous the cities were very beautiful and clean cleaner than European cities everyone was almost free life was easy they were self-sufficient in terms of wheat medicines they were independent of the world bank that's one of the reasons the usa wanted destroy this country you are going to tell me the dictatorship but the repression was not as much as it was in saudi arabia and qatar which does not even have a constitution so why is there no revolution in these two countries only where there is has a country independent of American control
...one of the most enduring memories of this civil war was the tanks and other heavy weaponry on what would be considered a highway overpass randomly firing into the neighbourhood below...I think it was day 7.
Us intervention here just seems petty at this point. They have nothing to gain from this meddling and would be much better off re-establishing relations with assad. The continued hostility just seems propped up by boomers that still think theyre in the early 2000s.
Assad's a chad who brought peace back to his country. I hope the Syrians in Turkey return to their country unharmed. I give my best wishes for a bright future for Syria ahead.
The al-Assad regime wants people to return. And also to beat people with rubber hoses if needed. And for the rest of the world to stop sanctioning them for it.
Let me tell you how sanctions affect ordinary people. You keep getting poorer and poorer and the economy starts to crumble. The aim is to cause instability in society forcing the government to leave. However, this doesn't happen in practice. Take Iran for example, sanctioned like hell, but the government wasn't toppled. So the main outcome is extreme suffering of the population and maybe some concessions in future negotiations. Dirty game. Actually, politics as a whole is dirty.
The goal of sanctions is to get population discontent so they people will revolt against the leadership. Once a more "suitable leader" that is agreeable to western dictates comes in place, then the sanctions will tone down based on the "performance and cooperation" of said suitable leader to their western sponsors interests.. This is how puppet govt's are created - Yanukovich overthrow in Ukraine is an example..
Let Arab countries get united under Arab League and be independent from American interference All black gold producing countries in Middle East be a new powerful organisation For taking Syria to its League is a well come Let Syria coperate with Russia 🇷🇺 and with Iran 🇮🇷 for financial and development aid and for a stable government in Syria 🇸🇾 and brothers of Arab countries Let Syria be a great country again under President Assad Sarath Dassanaike
If it was not for the bank of London and the Rothschild everyone in that area would still be riding camels. And I’m not trying to be insulting. It’s the truth. Not one in the Arab countries had the money to speculate, drill and deliver the oil. It came from London!
It really was because Russia stepped in. I remember watching the news and America and the EU countries were bummed out because they didnt succeed in false flagging Assad. With that I mean doing the same as what they did to Hussein.
At the start of the war that would have been a very reasonable guess. In early 2013 I predicted he would fall in 2015. Probably would have been right if Russia hadn't stepped in
@silentsnipe260 That and ISIS throwing a monkey wrench in seemingly everyone's predictions. From what I can recall 2011-2013 it really seemed like the rebels had a fighting chance. After that all bets were off.
@@alexhennigh5242 Iran definitely helped to slow the rebels momentum by 2013 but it wasn't until the introduction of Russian airpower in 2015 that the tide was in Assad's favor.
Quickest response i can think of is Syrias friendship with Iran and Russia, as well as Lebanon, all enemies of either the US or its Military Base-State Israel.
In 1978 I was in Europe and seating and waiting for girlfriend I had conversations with guys fro Syria and Iraq. When my girl shows up , all 3 guys stand up to Greed her. They told us about food, home, job, library, coffee shops and life. I was impressed how gentleman they are and how beautiful is their country and life. I also find out about college where people study from all over the world. Years later I find out how tgeiy life was destroyed by "Western democracies". 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.
That's why I think al-Assad hopes the foreign backers who helped him during the war will be around for the post-war reconstruction as well. Or that his rivals will start to recognize the syrian-arab state again.
Basically the Arabs has realized that US doesn't help them solve problems but rather another problem they have to deal with. Something that more and more EU countries will eventually realize as well.
There’s a reason when fellow Americans ask me to explain Syria to them I say you’ll never grasp it unless you have a strong baseline understanding of the region let alone the full global geopolitical spiderweb.

Excellent 30,000 foot view of the region and its dynamics. And another example of the need to replace the biden cartel, sooner rather than later 🙄. I was an F-15 contractor with the RSAF in Tabuk and I can tell you, I was never treated better or with more respect than their people treated me.

@@MrAkurvaeletbe well let's see if we can figure out the answer to your question Mr akur. No one even whispered a word about Singapore. Because everyone knows that RSAF stands for Royal Saudi Air Force. Rumor has it they're located in Saudi Arabia. Which incidentally is a middle east Muslim country. Which is an underlying thread in this video. 🤔 And finally, despite a common religion which gives a lot of Americans some misgivings it turns out if you live there for awhile the public vastly are extremely receptive to sincere Americans. Some of my compatriots I wouldn't even hang out with because they simply were crude, brash and disrespectful 😤 But my Saudi troops felt me out and were delighted that I was curious about them, skilled in my job did not drink at all and very easy to talk to. They are a phone culture and rarely did they have less than two phones. They were also highly interested and very entertained about our idiomatic expressions. In a word, it was enjoyable enough that I did a follow on contract a year later. And that doesn't happen over there if you step on toes. But Tabuk is hot, like Phoenix hot. If I should hear something about Singapore I'll circle back.
just for context, iranian weapons coming into lebanon for hezbollah arent smuggled, the come through the legal border road, they go through customs, approved by the lebanese army. they arent hiding the purchase of weapons from iran, the whole country knows it, and the army approved it.
Thanks for this.I knew Assad won , but your assessment showed me that it's not that simple. I wasn't aware of the Caesar Act until now. I don't agree with my US government on that.On the other hand,I like that the American presence in the Kurdish part of Syria guarantees them some semi autonomy. I have no problem with the Arab countries trying to normalize relations with the current government in Damascus . I guess some sort of peace can be resolved by them when it comes to Iran , who I now realize (thanks to the video needs more credit for Assad staying in power ,not taking anything away from Russia though.
Giving the Kurds any autonomy is like saying the thousands of illegals on the US southern border deserve autonomy since they're amassed in numbers and have been in the country too long. The kurds are the most ungrateful lot taken in by Hafez when they were on the run from Saddam and this is how they repaid their host over time. For an example of grateful asylum seekers, look at the syrian armenians instead - something the traitorous kurd bottom-feeders will never be.. Their so-called American backers are using them for the zionists and they will be tossed like the rag they are once the time comes - not to mention the entire american presence is illegal to being with. The entire world is no longer unipolar, hence the western temper tantrums with de-dollarization which will eventually nullify any sanctions no matter what they're called. The proof is in the pudding with the so called russian isolation during the ukrainian special military operation which had the opposite effect on russia and instead is collapsing western economies starting with europe (visible realtime) and other lapdog dominoes in tow. The days of western hubris and arrogance are numbered and the world will be a better place for this fact..
Out of genuine curiosity Why would you like Kurdish autonomy? They aren't even a majority demographic in the area they control. The US is only encouraging Kurdish separatists because the area has the only oil fields in the country, and because instability is good for business.
Bashar succeeded in Syria where the US had failed in Iraq. Russia's successful proxywar in Syria made them cocky enough to attack the Ukraine, but credit to Al-Assad & the Syrian Army for crushing ISIS.
And not to forget that Iran controls the majority of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The Western Media doesn’t cover this but the Iranians took down ISIS and never got the credit for it.
This might be a bold statement but I think Bashar is the best option for Syria. FSA and other factions splintered to billions of small sects, then islamic violence began. Bashar kept everything balanced, ruthlessly.
If the rebels won the war it would break out into another civil war and it’ll look like Sudan and new countries to be formed just for those countries to break out to civil war
Good video except... One thing in particular that since you kept calling the proxy war a civil war and what you call opposition groups should be called by it's name ie one of the many flavors of Al Qaeda. Civilian protest only lasted days max before it became an armed conflict, financed by at it's core, the US ''intelligent'' agencies to the point of them getting in conflict with each other at one point when ISI splitted off from the Al Qaedas... Getting the beginning wrong undermines your credibility but hoping this comment will help you improve for the next videos!
At least, my point is on record to retrieve in 150 years about this video. People don't remember or might never know the name of Gavrilo Princip but he still shot Franz Ferdinand and the name will live on because of what happened afterwards... Syria rejoigning the Arab league is a turning point in history, at least, in the now,é Facts should matter because this video is missing the point but good quality, only hope to improve...
Excellent video :) Everything pretty much perfectly put. I'm from the uk and wish America would keep out of the whole dam thing and dragging the whole west into it all.
As citizen of the United States 🇺🇸I welcome these developments it warms my heart to see the Arab people embrace in brotherhood. I hope some day all the Muslim communities can find peace in worship and community and even more I envision a world where all the people of the world are secure in their personal sovereignty and willingness to cooperate in a global society based on mutual respect and the golden rule.

As syrian what do you immediately want for your country??
Imagine being an optometrist one day and a few years later you are fighting a civil war against at least 6 different rebel groups supported by 7 different sovereign powers including the U.S.
55 groups
6? Try 60
The US literally sabotaged the rebels and prevented countries like Turkiye and Qatar from giving them heavy weapons and ADS. They literally asked Russia to intervene to save Assad because they did not want him to lose and they bombed the rebels for him. Also countries like the UAE and Saudi literally betrayed the rebels and gave intelligence to Assad and Russia so they could take out their leaders. And funny of you to ignore that he almost lost even with all of Iran´s support until Russia and the West started bombing them from the air.

Assad has won the war. He's alive, and regained all regional capitals, and like 90% of the areas in terms of gdp. A massive win by Assad. Ofc it is still a loss in the sense that every war is a loss, and losing significant geopolitical leverage for over a decade, but if you fight, this is about the best case scenario one can hope for.
Unfortunate that he's just another Putin, caring little about the lives of his citizens, but willing to sacrifice them to advance his authoritarian goals.
Assad turned his country into shit.
Also defintely couldve kept some more geopolitical leverage had he not gassed his own people. Once he did that, he guaranteed a strict condemnation and even partially invited western intervention. In the long run, gas was unnecessary

After all this fighting and human loss, I never thought I'd see it all just return back to "normal".
Of course they can. The rebels lost backing, no more rebels and rebelling
Nothing goes back to normal. Syria is still divided between 3 different armies and ISIS is on the rise again, because Russia and Assad do nothing against the jihadists.
Normal for the US is, we are done bleeding for Arabs. Look at MBS scurrying everywhere looking for protection from Tehran. He ain't getting any from Uncle Sam and he knows it. Good luck, Persian Gulf. You'll be moaning for the good old days when the terrible Americans ran things pretty damn soon.

This guy as well as infographics show, real life lore and some others are dirty western propaganda machines. Those who know little to nothing about these subjects will be learning it for the first time from these guys and will end up believing a twisted version of history.
The whole civil war happened because he’s a Christian and no one ever mentions this as the primary motivation for ISIS
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

Ah yes because America is to blame for everything in the Middle East right? Not the Arabs for their tribalism, incompetence and religious zealotry?
I love how you just say the capitals instead of the country. Really shows how some conflicts are just because of people in the capital.
Overall this is a good summary of events. What you could keep in mind in the future is to include the natural resources map of the countries in question. Especially in the case of Syria seeing the oil and gas sites of the country next to the different nations' military deployments helps you get an understanding that's currently lacking in the current form of this video.
Other than that, keep up the good work :)
Nah that’s Wendover Productions job 💀😂 he dropped a couple bangers regarding the resource issues in the Middle East, which goes beyond pointing fingers at Russia/US/Iran/Israel/Turkey/Etc.
I think you're referring to America needing control over the world's oil right?
As far as America’s concerned, any oil Syria gas (as well as the entire Middle East) is irrelevant. Thanks to Shale, we’re basically energy independent, and that’s before we get more alternative energy sources like Nuclear and Renewables online
let's remeber the US is still illegally occupying most of the land that has syrai's oil
When a reporter asked Trump what he‘s doing in Syria, he said that their troops are there because of the oil.
It‘s a shame because Syria would have enjoyed peace already if Obama hadn‘t invaded it
Can you do a video on global birth rates?
In places like East Asia, people just cannot afford to have children, and even if they could, they wouldn't have time to raise their children due to the nature of the East Asian work culture and their careers would be negatively impacted.
Governments like Japan and Korea aren't committing to solving the root of the problem, but instead hope that cash incentives will raise births.
I'm using East Asia as an example as that is where the causes of the problem are most extreme.
Have you seen the beginning of the movie idiocrazy? Because that’s kinda happening right now
Only reason western world have bigger birth rate is because of immigrants. And unlike the US western Europe has absolutely failed to integrate the muslim population. The second and third generation of Muslims are more homophobic and more likely to join terrorist group than the first generation. My history teacher says western Europe will look like Israel in the future. It won't become islamic like many fa right says but there will be more terrorist attacks and more security guards in many European streets. Meanwhile in east asia individualism will start to grow and family structure will collapse. Completely. I really don't know which is worse.
It's overhyped.
Working hours in Japan is less than USA or Canada.
Birth rate in Japan is 1.47
It has increased, Japan took measures to tackle it.
Korea are still implementing it there birth rate is below 1.0 while their work hours is longest in statistics.
Japan of today is not 2010.
It just youtubers use Japan for Views with recycling 1990 economy downturn again and again
Westerners are in no position to talk about it, especially because most of them don't know anything about east asia except what the news try to tell them.
Birth rates are dropping all over the world btw
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.
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.
@@carrotcake12348 You have been brainwashed thanks to propaganda and theatrics for 13 years by the foreign-backed opposition. Who are the children who were tortured in Daraa? What are their names? Where are the families? Where are their pictures before and after torture? The revolution was never peaceful. You think it's just that. I lived it and know its details. 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 UA-cam of him talking about this. How can someone remain brainwashed for 13 years?

@@Som_maper syrians with each other dont involve
@@carrotcake12348then why did you fail????????
You left out a critical piece of the puzzle, mainly Syria and Hezbollah flooding Saudi Arabia and UAE with massive amounts of Captagon. This very lucrative drug trade has added billions to Assad's treasure chest and keeps Hezbollah floating in endless cash. KSA and UAE see this as a strategic threat and they need to make nice with Damascus and Teheran to get them to stop smuggling the drugs into the rich gulf countries.
interesting, had no idea about captagon
Syria produces 80% of the global supply. Al-Assad is exporting to the whole planet, not just the Gulf Countries. They know he's not going to be as crippled by western sanctions as he'd otherwise be, has Russian backing, & controls one of the most powerful, experienced armies in the Levant.
Yikes, never heard of that stuff. Apparently they estimate Syria's revenue at $57 billion from exports of the drug in 2022. That is a lot.
legalize, regulate and tax.
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.
Back when the Syrian conflict kicked off, I saw John McCain saber rattling, along with other politicians of both major parties, and instantly thought it seemed like US meddling.
Let states such as Syria and Libya be a brutal reminder to civilians around the world not to jump on the bandwagon of foreign interference. These countries were destroyed and thrown back decades. And all this for what? 'Democracy'?
Absolutley correct!
One hand wages the 'war on terror' while the other moulds terrorists. Contradiction? No. Nor was there any confusion at the command-level about, say, Libya's rebels being 'doctors, lawyers and dentists desiring democracy', whatever the papers may have printed. For a glimpse at the same technic at work in the now-considerable past, peruse Aulaire's 'Geneva versus Peace'.
you’re delusional if you believe the root cause of the syrian conflict’s escalation is solely due to foreign intervention.
perhaps the dumbest thing i have read today! Bashar was a failure before and after this forever war. this war will be over once he is gone
@@RamenXI no matter how hard you try to twist it because of your biased views, Syria is way, way, worse now than it was before the 'rebellion' started. For the west, the 'rebellion' was a means to install a western/Israeli friendly government, as opposed to the current Pro-Russian/Pro-Iranian anti-israeli regime, and for the local rebels, some of them were just opportunists who wanted to do better for themselves in a new government, or, worse, some were radical Islamists who wanted to get rid of secularism and other religions in Syria. Again, no matter how hard you try to twist it, none of these foreign and domestic groups ever really cared about democracy per se.

It is amazing how little recognition exists in the West of the anti-Arab direction pursued very avidly by Western imperialism since 2003, but even before that. The PLO was undermined, assassinated and de-legitimized in the early 2000s. The next targets were Iraq, Libya, and Syria; all secular-leaning Arab states. Yes, if Syria falls, Algeria is next.

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.
True
As a Syrian the Assad family are the worst presidents you could ever imagine. They used chemical weopons against us , they stole money from civilians which explains assads wealth .he is cutting us from resources. we can get only 20liters of fuel every 2 weeks if not more. plus the price of fuel is about 2$ per liter , you have to wait in line to get bread. we get only 2hours of electricity daily. we get limited water. salaries are so low. Average salary in Syria is 50$ a month which cant get you rent. Thats why you see a huge number of Syrian refugees.

Let me tell you how sanctions affect ordinary people.
You keep getting poorer and poorer and the economy starts to crumble.
The aim is to cause instability in society forcing the government to leave. However, this doesn't happen in practice. Take Iran for example, sanctioned like hell, but the government wasn't toppled. So the main outcome is extreme suffering of the population and maybe some concessions in future negotiations. Dirty game. Actually, politics as a whole is dirty.
Indeed, from someone who's far from politics one-sided sanctions are just financial terrorism.
The goal of sanctions is to get population discontent so they people will revolt against the leadership. Once a more "suitable leader" that is agreeable to western dictates comes in place, then the sanctions will tone down based on the "performance and cooperation" of said suitable leader to their western sponsors interests.. This is how puppet govt's are created - Yanukovich overthrow in Ukraine is an example..

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.

And an understanding of the history of the region. What we are seeing now is strongly rooted in the past.
@@WeAreLivingHistory exactly the old conflicts of Islam faction is same as thousands yr ago
@@tgs9740just like Russians
yeh but the yanks still need to leave - they were never invited and arent welcome in Syria
Great in depth information to start learning factual information in regard to the middle east, to leverage in Education. It is sad is politicians think in geo priorities, instead of geo suffering. If our politicians were to change their scorecards, their intentions and perhaps sometimes innate "bias", all would all be talking🙏and listening.
Its funny how he calls the terrorists “rebels” instead of terrorists with all the suicide bombing and massacres they did to there own people , not to mention the beheading and the rape that occurred … its really disturbing cause a rebel would never do what this terrorists did to the country and the people living in that country they so claim that they wanna liberate,
America are the terrorists. If you think otherwise then you're a terrorist too

Protip: All Rebels in history did this.
He was there with his people when syria got hit by earthquake and i dont see any of those opposition leader with them but instead want more doubling down on sanction against the people of syria
Classic based Assad.
God bless Syria, Christ lives
Many things missing. American and NATO bombed Libya and helped the rebels kill Gaddafi, Iraq supported Syria as the two governments are friendly. Russia has a treaty agreement with Syria and is obligated to support them as both states are doing in each's wars.
Thank god
long live Assad and down with America who started the brutal civil war
Excellent 30,000 foot view of the region and its dynamics. And another example of the need to replace the biden cartel, sooner rather than later 🙄. I was an F-15 contractor with the RSAF in Tabuk and I can tell you, I was never treated better or with more respect than their people treated me.
What an ignorant comment, the problem isn't biden, it's the system, bush, Obama, trump they're all the same, they all protect the rich and big business and support the military industrial complex
But nonetheless who cares about your opinions. Right?
What does the singapore airforce have to do with this?
@@abanerjee5066 evidently you care about my opinions. Or you wouldn't have responded.
@@MrAkurvaeletbe well let's see if we can figure out the answer to your question Mr akur. No one even whispered a word about Singapore. Because everyone knows that RSAF stands for Royal Saudi Air Force. Rumor has it they're located in Saudi Arabia. Which incidentally is a middle east Muslim country. Which is an underlying thread in this video. 🤔 And finally, despite a common religion which gives a lot of Americans some misgivings it turns out if you live there for awhile the public vastly are extremely receptive to sincere Americans. Some of my compatriots I wouldn't even hang out with because they simply were crude, brash and disrespectful 😤 But my Saudi troops felt me out and were delighted that I was curious about them, skilled in my job did not drink at all and very easy to talk to. They are a phone culture and rarely did they have less than two phones. They were also highly interested and very entertained about our idiomatic expressions. In a word, it was enjoyable enough that I did a follow on contract a year later. And that doesn't happen over there if you step on toes. But Tabuk is hot, like Phoenix hot. If I should hear something about Singapore I'll circle back.
Bro, your unbiased videos are a true source for knowing what the real deal is
keep it up dude
Yeah bro
Long live syria, long live arabia, long live bashar
Bashar winner of the war 🇸🇾🇸🇾🇸🇾❤❤❤
No one have won the war , B might've stayed on the throne , but at what cost and limitations?
👍👍👍👍
@@Jos1_1dgy bashar is syria, and syria is bashar we support our leader no matter who he is

just for context, iranian weapons coming into lebanon for hezbollah arent smuggled, the come through the legal border road, they go through customs, approved by the lebanese army. they arent hiding the purchase of weapons from iran, the whole country knows it, and the army approved it.
Thanks for this.I knew Assad won , but your assessment showed me that it's not that simple. I wasn't aware of the Caesar Act until now. I don't agree with my US government on that.On the other hand,I like that the American presence in the Kurdish part of Syria guarantees them some semi autonomy. I have no problem with the Arab countries trying to normalize relations with the current government in Damascus . I guess some sort of peace can be resolved by them when it comes to Iran , who I now realize (thanks to the video needs more credit for Assad staying in power ,not taking anything away from Russia though.
Giving the Kurds any autonomy is like saying the thousands of illegals on the US southern border deserve autonomy since they're amassed in numbers and have been in the country too long. The kurds are the most ungrateful lot taken in by Hafez when they were on the run from Saddam and this is how they repaid their host over time. For an example of grateful asylum seekers, look at the syrian armenians instead - something the traitorous kurd bottom-feeders will never be.. Their so-called American backers are using them for the zionists and they will be tossed like the rag they are once the time comes - not to mention the entire american presence is illegal to being with. The entire world is no longer unipolar, hence the western temper tantrums with de-dollarization which will eventually nullify any sanctions no matter what they're called. The proof is in the pudding with the so called russian isolation during the ukrainian special military operation which had the opposite effect on russia and instead is collapsing western economies starting with europe (visible realtime) and other lapdog dominoes in tow. The days of western hubris and arrogance are numbered and the world will be a better place for this fact..
Out of genuine curiosity Why would you like Kurdish autonomy?
They aren't even a majority demographic in the area they control.
The US is only encouraging Kurdish separatists because the area has the only oil fields in the country, and because instability is good for business.
Bashar succeeded in Syria where the US had failed in Iraq. Russia's successful proxywar in Syria made them cocky enough to attack the Ukraine, but credit to Al-Assad & the Syrian Army for crushing ISIS.
Assad did nothing !! It was mostly Kurd forces
Trump crushed ISIS more then Syria did
You do realize that ISIS in Iraq is pretty much eradicated right? In no small part because of US support for the Iraqi and Kurdish forces.
@@madgavin7568 Iranians helped crush them in Iraq
@@yarsaz4347Iranians helped the Kurds? We followed the fighting and we know where the Iraqi army fought..
Back in the game kicking ass again
Syria has suffered tremendously. I hope the suffering is coming to end .INSHA Allah
President of Syria what a joke. Let me guess his whole family line will be president till 2057
Why yes , ever heard of Electoral dicktatorship
Nobody lifted a finger for Gadafi.
🥲
Assad is hero and winner in this conflict. Syrians are amazing people.
He's a war criminal, he gassed children to death.
Man,he is a legend

@@4Face840 Bashar al-Assad,cause very few rose up from such downfalls.
@@coolguy3813everyone can with Russian air strikes
The only reason why Syria still exists is because Russia came into the rescue. This is not something afforded to Libya, Iraq, Yemen etc.
exactly
And not to forget that Iran controls the majority of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The Western Media doesn’t cover this but the Iranians took down ISIS and never got the credit for it.
This is the best maps animations I've ever seen
Must be for the American viewers who need to be reminded about geography 😅
Assad never left the game.

@@MegrelMamba Also not a Georgian flag. But hey - you keep doing you.
@@TheLoyalOfficer Bro replied so zesty ah 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
What does it said about this organisation and its ppl. I let you put in your own words and language...EXACTLY!
This might be a bold statement but I think Bashar is the best option for Syria. FSA and other factions splintered to billions of small sects, then islamic violence began. Bashar kept everything balanced, ruthlessly.
If the rebels won the war it would break out into another civil war and it’ll look like Sudan and new countries to be formed just for those countries to break out to civil war
FSA is the way for the Syrian people💚🤍🖤
Well put together, enjoyed it.
Good video except...
One thing in particular that since you kept calling the proxy war a civil war and what you call opposition groups should be called by it's name ie one of the many flavors of Al Qaeda.
Civilian protest only lasted days max before it became an armed conflict, financed by at it's core, the US ''intelligent'' agencies to the point of them getting in conflict with each other at one point when ISI splitted off from the Al Qaedas...
Getting the beginning wrong undermines your credibility but hoping this comment will help you improve for the next videos!
Fun fact :no one will ever talk about this ever in the upcoming 150 years
At least, my point is on record to retrieve in 150 years about this video.
People don't remember or might never know the name of Gavrilo Princip but he still shot Franz Ferdinand and the name will live on because of what happened afterwards...
Syria rejoigning the Arab league is a turning point in history, at least, in the now,é
Facts should matter because this video is missing the point but good quality, only hope to improve...
Excellent video
Excellent video :) Everything pretty much perfectly put. I'm from the uk and wish America would keep out of the whole dam thing and dragging the whole west into it all.
Viva the axis of resistance: Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Palestine and the new members who will be joining later.
Hey good for him
subscribed and liked. great video.
As citizen of the United States 🇺🇸I welcome these developments it warms my heart to see the Arab people embrace in brotherhood. I hope some day all the Muslim communities can find peace in worship and community and even more I envision a world where all the people of the world are secure in their personal sovereignty and willingness to cooperate in a global society based on mutual respect and the golden rule.
@@HeadOfBusiness thanks for your kind reply. Your statement leaves me a bit puzzled. You see, America is a continent not a State. So l am really not sure what you are talking about. You sound very sophomoric like a teenage communist. I don’t recommend advocating for revolution on the internet, though it’s safer in some states compared to others. Generally a bad idea. You have my regards
kind of refreshing to see an american, european or turkish person NOT deepthroating their media sources treating it like the gospel
We don't need go, you destroyed syria go away from our country leave us alone
As an irreligious born in Syria, I could not care less about Muslim unity. What I would love is a secular Syria that doesn't give a crap about religion at the state level.
Not everyone in syria is muslim
