Why is Erik necessary? Samo Burja is a genius in his own right, capable of speaking for hours without needing prompts. It's truly a privilege to listen to him.
He's the ride-along or audience surrogate, It makes the propaganda more effective by providing a relatable character that the audience can identify with or see themselves onto.
Samo is very good analyst, but this time he concluded with a surprising statement at minute 56:40 - "Don't try to forecast which rebel group is going to win. These things will be determined "in the back room deals" between local powers..." No, Samo, these things will be determined "in the back room deals", but not between local people. They will be determined in London, Washington and Tel Aviv... And I'm sure you know it very well...
American foreign policy is currently a paralyzed joke, Britain is largely irrelevant in the Middle East, Israel doesn't have anywhere near the direct influence over HTS or any other rebel group as you seem to think. Given this conspiratorial analysis, it's ironic that you'd neglect to mention Ankara, given that Turkey is the largest player in all of this.
@@sn0wdon Your point is well taken. I did not mention Ankara because it seems to me that in the bigger picture no local powers in the Middle East were making ultimate decisions for at least 100 years. Who overthrew Mosaddegh, Nasser, Gaddafi, Hussein, Assad... ?
Samo is the highest trust analyst I listen to.

He has like 3 channels that post the same videos and he often reposts them. He's a complete hack

Where are the samo fan clubs and discussion groups?
I want samo to analyze isreal and its history and the legacy/current effect on the middle east
Erik's got that 4AM wakeup haircut
maybe should've waited a week on this one
Might be a good idea to let the king of Jordan take over Syria
What does the future look like for eastern europe the baltics? Poland? Belarus? And Ukraine? Really bad demographics but no one close to replace them…
