I love Thomas and how he articulates these complex feelings…I love what everyone at Yes Theory does and what they are able to show the world 💜 Thank you Asian Boss
Being from Syria, I really appreciate your interest in our forgotten country because western media only shows 12 years of conflicts rather than thousands of years before that .. my country is one of the oldest human settlements on Earth with numerous civilisation and amazing food.. But yeah .. As you said, we strongly feel that our voices -as people- are not heard, especially after the earthquake and seeing people focus on turkish victims as if we deserve the death because we don't have blonde hair and colorful eyes .. and that what makes people around the world consider us ALWAYS like refugees eventhough we have doctors, engineers, professors and so .. not only in Syria but in every country we reach to, we try to modify the image about us but everyone still discriminates us .. Finally, as you said Thomas, Hope is our own weapon... Now, I study medicine here and I have a beautiful dream that i hope to achieve in the future .. i wish that my dream happens ❤❤😊
Well let's be honest... how many Syrians would help if that happened in Europe...? You should turn on your government to make that place decent and not dependent on outside help. Not even talking, that Syrian refugees commit a lot of crimes compared to their numbers in Europe, so there is a story behind your "discrimination" and why people simply don't want to help you, if your citizens doing harm in countries they were accepted to... There are a lot of decent Syrians, who want just a better life, and follow the rules and guidelines of the countries they emigrated to, yet the image is shattered by the high criminal activity of other Syrians who won't follow the law and that is the problem, coz people generalize all people from that country and it is quite hard not to.
@@vlads.3192No habibi .. Syrians are like the other immigrant groups if not being less criminals because they are afraid of being deported and going back to Syria .. France and the UK are so unsafe countries in crime index for a long time before syrian immigration to Europe in 2015 and the cause is the other ethnicities not us .. people discriminate us because of western media that shows only the stereotype about arabs and muslims to be poor and terrorists and deserving to death.. If your information was true, believe me none of the european countries would host us .. never .. but they want labour force and those "syrian criminals" you have mentioned do not represent even 1% of Syrian immigrants .. but let's be honest, you are such a racist .. nothing more
@@Raionali2173 i know that when the west talk about human rights they are just hypocrites .. and those bolnde people do not represent more than 5% of population .. i wish that refugees used dyers before reaching europe 😁 europe would give them villas in switzerland
This is the most fascinating interview on this channel that I’ve ever watched. I didn’t want it to end! His experience is so interesting in a mysterious and misunderstood part of the world to many.
1:18 The reason why South Korean, Japanese, Singaporean banks won't do any business with Syria is because of OFAC. The U.S. Dep't of Treasury has deemed countries like Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Cuba, N.Korea, Venezuela, and Russia as hostile nations, and the U.S. gov't imposes sanctions on any companies in third countries that do business with these designated countries. This is why the U.S. dollar MUST lose its status as the World's Reserve currency. In the case of countries like Japan and S.Korea, since they're vassal states of the American Empire, their only option is to comply.
Thanks for this video. I’ve always been interested in Syria’s situation because I had an amazing online friend from there. Everyone deserves peace and freedom, I hope the best for Syrians.
As a syrian, thank you for shedding light on the reality of our country. When my friends and I see any foreigner, we get so excited and fascinated by their presence because it's surreal, like an alien visiting our world, in a good way. I hope you keep the syrians in your hearts, we truly just need a hand held out to us and we will strive. all love to you guys at Asian Boss :)

I can only reflect the consensus here and say how much RESPECT we have for your efforts of being a good Human. I lived in Cambodia for two years and was humbled. Thank you for your bravery.❤
I respect them for going to "dangerous" places in order to meet the real people that live there. The dangers are very real though. There are stories of tourists and such being killed. Some people there assume that westerners must have money and attempt to kidnap. Of course Thomas is doing an objectively good thing by going to these places and spreading a little more harmony between different peoples but I worry personally and it's not based on the media's general outlook. I've been to places like Romania and Bulgaria which also have a poor reputation but I didn't find them sketchy really. My worries are founded on the hundreds of [typically] westerners that go there naively with good intentions only to be friendly with the wrong people and end up reading a prepared statement infront of a camera. Often the people from the outside don't see the dangers. My hometown in the UK is very crime ridden and when you know what to look for, interms of criminality it's very hard to relax when you're outside. However if you weren't from the area you probably wouldn't identify the same red flags as the local people. And I think this is very true for these so called "dangerous" countries like Syria, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan etc
Reliably? You can't. It's local to the area, they know the local crime family or whatever, who is connected to who, all that kind of crap that mere wanderers don't have any knowledge of.@@Wizard-pw8yo The only way you could find that kind of information is to really ask someone who is street-smart, local to the area.
That's a weird thing to say, since greenland is a nice place to live if you can Deal with the cold xD Just not much going on there "I'd rather live in the sewers than anywhere in the middle east" would be an exaggerated statement to mark your point.
It's fine as long as you aren't donning a kippah/star of David necklace or draped in a pride flag...God forbid you try entering one of the Lebanese checkpoints as an identifiable member of the Yahud or rainbow brigade when the border agent happens to be affiliated with Hezbollah.
Not everyone has the desire to be as obnoxious as Sacha Baron Cohen. So, if you wanna act like Bruno or Borat, then by all means go to Syria dressed like a clown. Play dumb games and win dumber prizes. 🙄🤯🤪
No one is owed a video on anything. Thomas was here months ago for his Korean Prison video with Yes Theory. This was filmed well before the new escalation of conflict.
Actually, they asked at their IG stories to invite anyone at Israel and Palestine to interview about the conflict and the 'war' but seems like no one interested so maybe that is the reason they don't make the video about that. What the most important, Palestine will be free.

That's becuz the rest of humanity are quite shitty.
Beautiful conversation!
he is amazing ❤ really!
Amazing video
This was not on my bingo card for 2023, my two favourite channels together❤

where can you look up red flags for UK towns?

Each place has its benefits
I rather live in greenland than anywhere in the middle east
Why? Blame USA and her allies for destabilising an entire region and promoting hatred for Muslims.
That's a weird thing to say, since greenland is a nice place to live if you can Deal with the cold xD
Just not much going on there
"I'd rather live in the sewers than anywhere in the middle east" would be an exaggerated statement to mark your point.
Okay just prove it no more just empty talk
Antarctica is good enough, no need to go fancy, I don't even suffer loneliness that much
Bad taste.

I get the comment. It's still has nothing to do with the video.

Thomas if you have the ability to visit #Gaza go and show the world what's going on in Gaza.
Go there by yourself and send them the footage... :D
Ok
I miss beardless thomas
Peaceful community live in middle East there's no way middle East will be peaceful😂
they killing
You should try paying in bitcoin and go from there LOL
Yet you won‘t show anything regarding Palestine. Shameful!
How you can show something while at that time the conflict didn't exist? Go ask ChatGPT expert :D
I meant their channel, not this specific video.@@vlads.3192
It was a war zone when you posted your comment and will be again when the ceasefire stops. Why don't you go there instead and show us? Shameful!
I would rather live under the sewer than live in a drab, medieval middle-eastern country. Kudos to his courage and perseverance.
Where are you from
Once again, asian boss being blind about Palestine issues
No one is owed a video on anything. Thomas was here months ago for his Korean Prison video with Yes Theory. This was filmed well before the new escalation of conflict.
Calm yourself…this was likely filmed months ago when he was actually in Korea
@@EclipticRaisin so does Ukraine-Russia conflict yet media still talking about it
Sooo they take this video 1 month before genocide happen in palestine
Actually, they asked at their IG stories to invite anyone at Israel and Palestine to interview about the conflict and the 'war' but seems like no one interested so maybe that is the reason they don't make the video about that. What the most important, Palestine will be free.
WHO cares?
I do.
Umm this channel literally focus about asia.
I don't know if your comment is an answer to wHO cares ,or to I do.
