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.
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.
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.
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
When I said Assad won’t be toppled back in March of 2011, as a 22 year old, everybody laughed. I wish he was a stock that everyone was shorting, and I kept hanging to it for 12 years.
Outstanding work. As an American trying to get a better sense of the world from a non-American perspective, it’s really nice to see foreign policy analysis without a US-centric bias or interpretation. Keep up the good work.
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
Unfortunately . Life became so hard in Syria after the era of war. I am Syrian and i sense that .our paids in work are very little compared to the prices that are getting higher and higher .no services.no electricity.no water . 😢
The Syrian civil war was the most dumb thing that people could ask for themselves.. They learnt no lessons from Libya , what happened and who gains in civil war... This is why citizens of nations shouldn't fall to Western propaganda..
@@banger2998 a quote from a literal "war criminal" like Henry Kissinger, who was involved and supported the entirety bombing campaign of the Vietnam war and the illegal invasions of Indonesia, yes it makes no sense quoting Kissinger in this civil war as America since Obama was gone only cared about destroying ISIS and protecting their local interests and influences in the region, some ppl just don't care as long as they can shit on America. tell that person to read a fking book.
The map you are using is incorrect, Golan Heights at the lower corner of Syria is internationally recognized as Syrian territory occupied by Israel, so the map should reflect this fact...
It's been controlled by israel far longer then syria. And i thought all these borders are fake anyways? Funny how european lines are suddenly so historic when it comes to israel
@deshaun9473 You don't have to twist the truth just because you support Israel :) Golan didn't belong to Britain to give it away the same way India didn't belong to Britain.... and Israel was created in 1948 and didn't join the UN till 1949 , while Syria was established in 1946, including Golan and joined the UN on the same year...so the year 1923 is not relevant at all...
@@loaijawish3824 again, the Golan heights was illegally given to France by Britain in 1923 in violation of the League of Nations mandate. Secondly, international law says that colonial acquisitions of territory are illegitimate. Thirdly, Syria used the illegally gotten Golan to shell and bomb the villages of Galilee, and invaded Israel three times, 1948, 1967, 1973, with frequent cross border raids in between. The Golan heights only "belonged" to Syria in the same way Goa "belonged" to Portugal or Algeria "belonged" to France, ie not at all. By the way when Israel gained its independence from Britain in 1948, it was immediately inavded by seven Arab nations with the support of Great Britain. I noticed you didn't mention in your long b.s comment.
@@loaijawish3824 and by the way, the League of Nations mandate consisted of modern day Israel and Jordan. We simply changed to our indigenous name, Israel.
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
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.
As a Chinese I am proud of what my government did here. Let us just understand each other and stay in peace. War is only for those who don't want peace.
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.
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
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
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.
@@bradenhagen7977 There was no actual evidence provided of the gassing, just intelligence agencies and the U.N. going "Source: trust me bro." I'm leaning on the side of, "So that was a fuckin' lie."
@@bradenhagen7977 Oh like the Ghouta chemical attack where those making the claims were linked to Al Qaeda, where footage later released showed it was faked. AQ terrorists in Ghouta were on their last legs hence their desperation to fake videos. If you're going by what the western MSM media say then you're already completely wrong.
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.
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
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 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?
...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.

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....
It's not about the US lack of coherent policy about the Middle East, it's about the almost total disinterest of US in what's happening in Middle East. After US gained their energetic independence with the shale fracking few years ago, Middle East is no longer of a strategic interest to US, so why spending time and resources for that area?
Militarily likely not, if all of the muslim world in the middle east allied themselves they would hold a bit of economic power, which would likely wane as the world's economies reduce their reliance on oil.
The last days i've been binging on geopolitic videos and i started having trouble finding new interesting videos to watch... then i discovered your channel
As a Syrian Arab I must say that president Assad did a great job, I didn't think he would survive with all neighbouring countries were so determined to take Syria from him. I didn't have a high opinion of him but now I do. The survival of Syria means the survival of the Arab struggle against Israel ant its allies (the West, Gulf states and Turkey)
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.

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...
But you know the reality on the ground in Syria better than anyone else. Right? How is Assad as a person really? Is he really a despot as the western media shows it or is he really someone else?
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.

The map you are using is incorrect, Golan Heights at the lower corner of Syria is internationally recognized as Syrian territory occupied by Israel, so the map should reflect this fact...
It's been controlled by israel far longer then syria. And i thought all these borders are fake anyways? Funny how european lines are suddenly so historic when it comes to israel
The Golan heights was illegally given to France by Britain in 1923. By international law it belongs to Israel per 1920 League of Nations mandate.
@deshaun9473 You don't have to twist the truth just because you support Israel :)
Golan didn't belong to Britain to give it away the same way India didn't belong to Britain.... and Israel was created in 1948 and didn't join the UN till 1949 , while Syria was established in 1946, including Golan
and joined the UN on the same year...so the year 1923 is not relevant at all...
@@loaijawish3824 again, the Golan heights was illegally given to France by Britain in 1923 in violation of the League of Nations mandate. Secondly, international law says that colonial acquisitions of territory are illegitimate. Thirdly, Syria used the illegally gotten Golan to shell and bomb the villages of Galilee, and invaded Israel three times, 1948, 1967, 1973, with frequent cross border raids in between. The Golan heights only "belonged" to Syria in the same way Goa "belonged" to Portugal or Algeria "belonged" to France, ie not at all.
By the way when Israel gained its independence from Britain in 1948, it was immediately inavded by seven Arab nations with the support of Great Britain. I noticed you didn't mention in your long b.s comment.

Been waiting for a video on this, thanks!
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.
As a Chinese I am proud of what my government did here. Let us just understand each other and stay in peace. War is only for those who don't want peace.
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.
Hoping for a speedy recovery for Syria.
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
Strange he didnt mention Israel
bingo
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

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.

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.
Ah yes, Bashar, my favourite band. Saw this video like 5-6 days ago after getiimg the God, Syria and Bashar song in reccomendations
The attack on Syria was horrific, but I’m glad they know the individuals involved with the attack and ambush.
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
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.

@@elpito9326 No your country chose right side and if your people are angered its probably a small percentage.
thank you for bringing back atention to syria
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?

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.

In 1978 I was in Europe and seating and waiting for girlfriend I had conversations with guys fro Syria and Iraq.

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.

Assad seems to be decent politician.. much more so than many leaders in US an Europe..
Excellent video
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...
This is political
same
As a Syrian, You touched the tip of the iceberg in your video, still, you did a good job.
But you know the reality on the ground in Syria better than anyone else. Right? How is Assad as a person really? Is he really a despot as the western media shows it or is he really someone else?
@JustinYiseverywhere Hopefully your dreams come true.
Much love to Somalia ❤

Well done! Very informative
Propaganda pimpo
im not suprise america only present is near oil fields in the north
Amazing work, indepth and objective.
That guy that have nickname like from middle ages crusaders era. "lion of damascus".
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.
There are too many of them and they are too ignorant.
And an understanding of the history of the region. What we are seeing now is strongly rooted in the past.

yeh but the yanks still need to leave - they were never invited and arent welcome in Syria
Imagine if Americans just minded their own business

Unimaginable misery could have been avoided. But noooo
@@garage3022 who gonna pay US military industrial complex
Yes all the chaos just to trap russia in a quagmire i.e destabilize pro Russian monarchies in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan .... US just applied all the lessons learned from Latin America to the Middle East of how to create instability in a country.
Imagine if arabs could take responsibility for 1% of their existence

Back in the game kicking ass again
Outstanding work. Keep it up.
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.
This is the best maps animations I've ever seen
Must be for the American viewers who need to be reminded about geography 😅
We're so back, bros
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

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
What does it said about this organisation and its ppl. I let you put in your own words and language...EXACTLY!
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

Arab countries stop in the levant 🤜 leave north africa alone we're not arabs
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!
Assad 🖤🤍❤ 🔥🔥🔥🔥
asaad the failure tyrant
Superb analysis.
👍🏻 from 🇮🇳 India
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.
its oil bro
Cry
@@xeon39688No need to cry. Assad beat the usa
You mean US should left the domination Throne for someone else to sit?
Its the last vestiges of Neocon Foreign Policy which is to try to knockoff post-Soviet aligned states from the Cold War irrespective of outcome.
You deserve a follow
I am from the United States of America, and I grieve over Syria because of the war that came to the country, destroying its country and depopulating it. I hope that Syria will return as it was🇸🇾❤🇺🇸🥺🥺❤
Ok
