Thanks for the update! I've followed this sad civil war since its beginning but haven't heard much about it in the mainstream media. Love your channel!
TL:DR The Government and the Kurds are both too strong to risk a lengthy war with the other as that could cause Turkey to get involved. Neither side can finish off the remaining rebels as it risks a full scale Turkish invasion that neither can handle.
Wow. I was listening to this video thinking it was published within the last few days, considering recent events. Turns out it was made 2 months ago. This guy called it completely.
As a Syrian living in Syria, I am telling you, You can NEVER live comfortably in Syria unless: 1- You are a thief (protected by corrupt officials).. 2- You have somebody outside the country aiding you with money. other than that you are doomed to sadness and injustice and no hope or future. and if you wanna save yourself you should immigrate. this is the situation in safe areas where there is no war -Currently- so even if the war is considered "over" which has never happened yet, the financial situation is still even harder to live through. my People are really hardworking people, everywhere they go they try to make a living and help their people in Syria, so do not be harsh to our immigrants, they are the hope of a new Syrian generation that can live peacefully and hopefully rebuild Syria in the future.
And because of that your fellow Syrians are notorious known all over europe for the worst crimes when they even got housings , food, and money?! Honestly I couldn't care less , solve your problems and take your people back .
Immigrants from the middle east and north/east Africa have destroyed my country Sweden. Violent crimes (rape, murder, gang violence) are sky rocketing and they are turning our free country into a Islamic one. If you ask me what I want, I want them all to go back and so does my friends. We wanted to help but this has gone too far.
Or you could fix it by getting rid of Islam and implementing a democracy into your country. The majority of the issues in the middle east come from one single problem, Islam.
As a Kashmiri living under occupation, I want you to know that even though my people are themselves very persecuted, our hearts bleed for Syria and we pray for your safety in every prayer after we pray for our own freedom. I’ve never been to Syria but I can’t explain to you how much love I have in my heart for your nation. ❤❤

As a Kurd Syrian, I confirm that there are no safe areas. Conflicts keep unfolding from time to time, although the tense and severity of violence has decreased! However, northwest is threatened with an infighting. Pro-Turkey groups vs pro-HTS groups. Northeast, SDF and USA war on ISIS is ongoing , resulting of arresting dozens of ISIS leaders ! Let alone the Arab tribes attacks on SDF in DeirZour backed by Iran. Worth mentioning the Turkish drone attacks against military and civilian targets. In Syrian regime areas, Israeli airstrikes almost everyday. Devastated economy, with almost 90% of the population under the poverty line… In the south, Dara and Swaidaa, instability is ongoing ! Protests every Friday and assassinations everywhere ! Syrian Desert (Sahara) , ISIS hotbed, attacking buses and oil trucks on the roads ! Welcome to Syria 🎉
I have a question: Is ISIS still an issue of concern in Syria or the Middle East? Western news shows that ISIS has been defeated years ago and no longer exists, but I highly doubt the veracity of that, they just stopped reporting about ISIS overnight. By the way, I'm so sorry for the situation in your country, hope one day Syria will have peace.
@@lezhumildent Not Syrian, but as far as I know, ISIS is no longer a threat to anyone since 2018, since they don't really control anything anywhere anymore, the only pockets of ISIS left in Syria are just literally pockets of deserts, I doubt they'll resurface in the ME. They are, however, slowly gaining a presence in sub-Saharan Africa, which isn't... great.

We elected a conservative government, it didn't work. We boycotted, it didn't work. We sent aid, it didn't work. We made sanctions, it didn't work. Please, enlighten me. In fact, let me get a chair.
As a Kurd from Afrin, Northern Syria, I can truly say that we, the Kurds, are deeply devastated! No one wants to recognize us. Moreover, our homes have been taken by the Turkish army and handed over to Arab mercenaries, who now control our city. The dictator Assad views us as a potential threat that could divide the country, using this as an excuse to avoid recognizing our rights.
He was elected, unlike any Kurd, you just lackeys for the US. And funny its not just Assad that has problems with Kurds but Turkey as well. Assad is the most secular ELECTED President in that region and yet somehow you Kurds can't live in peace in Syria. If you can't live peace within Syria do you think it will get any better with an ISIS running the country ? If they get back in power they will wipe out all Kurds
The founders of the PKK, Ocalan, urges his followers to cooperate with Syria, not the US. He knows that the West just uses the Kurds to further partition Arab states and it has no interest in Kurdish unity or independence.
@@gorofujita5767 What cause problems commit acts of terrorism and in general be a threat to a democratically elected government that has fought against a proxy army funded by the West and KSA to install an ISIS type regime.
It’s Russian and Iran meddling they want to destabilize and undermine US. Why would the US want to start another war in Middle East it’s 10000% what they don’t want.
Anything that isn't Israel or America you mean. ISIS has suffered hundreds of attacks from America and Israel and has never once responded back. They don't want the money to get cut off! They're America and Israel's "Muslim punishing army" because they claim to be the Islamic state and have the blood of more Muslims on their hands than anyone!
@@AlbertRackzz420-uq2qq what about the recent attack of isis on iran that iran blames isreal immediately after the attack but iran become silence when isis claimed that it is their act?
I was sitting in a. Barber shop this last Sunday and talked to a guy who said his unit was deploying to Syria. I said deploying to Syria??? wtf. He said yea, and do patrols and stuff, he said yea so I don’t know wtf is going on. Our media don’t tell us shit.
I assume you're from the US. Yes United States army is now helping Syrian Kurds to occupy one third of Syrian territory east of Euphrates, the part with oil wells and the best wheat farms in order to choke Syrian economy. Actually Trump openly said "we have the oil" in interview just search on RUclips.
This is true, I like to joke around and ask people what they think of Eleni Kounalakis. They almost always ask who that is. They vote but don't even know who our Lieutenant Governor is...
Then maybe the west can stop supporting anti-assad groups, publicly denounce them, and turn the information war against them. That would end the conflict and bring syria to what it was before the civil war
Turkey's goal is to displace the Kurds. It also occupied the Afrin region and built settlements there with the aim of demographic change in the region.
Yes this is their goal, the big mistake the Kurds made was attempting to take control of northern Syria which is a whole different field to the Iraqi Kurdistan province. The northern and even northeast Syria demography does not favour a Kurdish state not to mention both Turkey and Iran are opposed to it for geo and politic reasons, one of the few things they agree on.
@@Epicfountain10 oppressing arabs?? just because kurds controlled that area doesn’t mean we oppressed them wtf they spoke their own language they practiced their culture and their homes weren’t taken from them also we protected them from isis so how did we oppress them? infact arabs back in the days used to oppress us and deny our language maybe u should check history again buddy
@@hann5240 ISIS was single handedly defeated by Syrian government soldiers and allies and Russia forces.

And hopefully we'll see peace and prosperity again in Syria in our lifetime❤
If you want to, you could join the US forces to secure Rojave. It depends on which Syrian group you support though. And what relation you could accept with al-Assad as well.
You could argue it was out of the news cycle because the war had calmed down to such a point that, by some definitions, it wasn't large-scale enough to be called a war anymore. That doesn't mean fighting had stopped or people stopped dying. Such is the ugly reality of the news cycle and of how conflicts can wax and wane over time.
It never ended, it just became a ”frozen conflict”, a conflict that hasn’t formally enden eith any agreement or peace but nobody wants to fight the other either so they just stop the fighting but sometimes skirmish.

However, northwest is threatened with an infighting. Pro-Turkey groups vs pro-HTS groups.
Northeast, SDF and USA war on ISIS is ongoing , resulting of arresting dozens of ISIS leaders ! Let alone the Arab tribes attacks on SDF in DeirZour backed by Iran. Worth mentioning the Turkish drone attacks against military and civilian targets.
In Syrian regime areas, Israeli airstrikes almost everyday. Devastated economy, with almost 90% of the population under the poverty line…
In the south, Dara and Swaidaa, instability is ongoing ! Protests every Friday and assassinations everywhere !
Syrian Desert (Sahara) , ISIS hotbed, attacking buses and oil trucks on the roads !
Welcome to Syria 🎉
I have a question: Is ISIS still an issue of concern in Syria or the Middle East? Western news shows that ISIS has been defeated years ago and no longer exists, but I highly doubt the veracity of that, they just stopped reporting about ISIS overnight.
By the way, I'm so sorry for the situation in your country, hope one day Syria will have peace.
@@lezhumildent peace in middle east will be miracle.
@@lezhumildent Not Syrian, but as far as I know, ISIS is no longer a threat to anyone since 2018, since they don't really control anything anywhere anymore, the only pockets of ISIS left in Syria are just literally pockets of deserts, I doubt they'll resurface in the ME.
They are, however, slowly gaining a presence in sub-Saharan Africa, which isn't... great.

GREAT JOB! Precient! Spot on!
this is proving to be very timely
As a Kurd from Afrin, Northern Syria, I can truly say that we, the Kurds, are deeply devastated! No one wants to recognize us. Moreover, our homes have been taken by the Turkish army and handed over to Arab mercenaries, who now control our city. The dictator Assad views us as a potential threat that could divide the country, using this as an excuse to avoid recognizing our rights.
He was elected, unlike any Kurd, you just lackeys for the US. And funny its not just Assad that has problems with Kurds but Turkey as well. Assad is the most secular ELECTED President in that region and yet somehow you Kurds can't live in peace in Syria. If you can't live peace within Syria do you think it will get any better with an ISIS running the country ? If they get back in power they will wipe out all Kurds
The founders of the PKK, Ocalan, urges his followers to cooperate with Syria, not the US. He knows that the West just uses the Kurds to further partition Arab states and it has no interest in Kurdish unity or independence.
But Kurds have historically done exactly what Assad fears lol, it's a legitimate concern.

Israhell and the USA
@elchicano187 and Russia and Iran and Iraq and turkey and isis. Israel has strikingly no direct affiliation like the others
It’s Russian and Iran meddling they want to destabilize and undermine US. Why would the US want to start another war in Middle East it’s 10000% what they don’t want.
Has the Syrian Civil War ever fully stopped?
Definitely no but it definitely simmered down after Turkish and Russian intervention in the late 2010s.
Only fight against ISIS continued
Nah
Had to come watch this while waiting on Simon in the next update say we told you so two months ago. Hi from Nigeria.
Here we are. Aleppo has fallen. And so has Hama. Conflicting reports of a coup in Damascus...
It’s sad your right I’m watching this today because it started up again
Wow this guy saw it coming a mile away
So, Syria is just an post apocalyptic RPG game with 6 or so factions that can not co-exist, and the player needs to choose one. . .got it!

Isis is like a hurricane, it targets anything within reach that isn’t itself, regardless of what’s there.
Anything that isn't Israel or America you mean. ISIS has suffered hundreds of attacks from America and Israel and has never once responded back. They don't want the money to get cut off! They're America and Israel's "Muslim punishing army" because they claim to be the Islamic state and have the blood of more Muslims on their hands than anyone!
well, it never attacked israel though xD. haha. but it attacked russia xD. hahaha. isis is a mossad, cia-zio-wahabi terror organisation

I was sitting in a. Barber shop this last Sunday and talked to a guy who said his unit was deploying to Syria. I said deploying to Syria??? wtf. He said yea, and do patrols and stuff, he said yea so I don’t know wtf is going on. Our media don’t tell us shit.
USA policy in Syria is a disaster, they should take Turks' lead rather than allying with PKK.
@@HayanomieThe turks are genociding Kurds
I assume you're from the US. Yes United States army is now helping Syrian Kurds to occupy one third of Syrian territory east of Euphrates, the part with oil wells and the best wheat farms in order to choke Syrian economy. Actually Trump openly said "we have the oil" in interview just search on RUclips.
What they’re really doing there is stealing all the oil that rightfully belongs to Syria.
No Jews, no news. 🤷🏻♀️
5:50 Little or no potential to pull off a breakthrough... They sure proved everyone wrong.
I ask the average Californian about current battles in Ukraine and they are always surprised: “That’s still going on?”
Your average voter folks.

This is true, I like to joke around and ask people what they think of Eleni Kounalakis. They almost always ask who that is. They vote but don't even know who our Lieutenant Governor is...
Tbf, US public is pretty isolated due to geography
If only our leaders isolated us from that part of the world.
36:57 got that one wrong, today 2 months later the Idlib Turkish backed rebels have gone on the offensive
The west could care less about Syria right now. Lets see what the muslims do to help.
The Saudi-Iran proxy war is gonna make this situation even worse
Couldn't*
Then maybe the west can stop supporting anti-assad groups, publicly denounce them, and turn the information war against them. That would end the conflict and bring syria to what it was before the civil war
Muslims will just blame the west, like they always do.
care...the west started the syria conflict with their islam proxy terror groups
Simon saw this coming with the news today about Allepo.
Turkey's goal is to displace the Kurds.
It also occupied the Afrin region and built settlements there with the aim of demographic change in the region.
Yes this is their goal, the big mistake the Kurds made was attempting to take control of northern Syria which is a whole different field to the Iraqi Kurdistan province. The northern and even northeast Syria demography does not favour a Kurdish state not to mention both Turkey and Iran are opposed to it for geo and politic reasons, one of the few things they agree on.
@@mansur8451Exactly taking cities like Raqa and oppressing Arabs.
@@Epicfountain10 oppressing arabs?? just because kurds controlled that area doesn’t mean we oppressed them wtf they spoke their own language they practiced their culture and their homes weren’t taken from them also we protected them from isis so how did we oppress them? infact arabs back in the days used to oppress us and deny our language maybe u should check history again buddy
@@hann5240 ISIS was single handedly defeated by Syrian government soldiers and allies and Russia forces. Kurds are being protected by western special forces and once they leave which they eventually will the Syrian government will take the land back and give it back to the original owners who are alawites, Christians and other minorities. Sunni Arabs and Kurds must be asked to leave Syria. Justmy opinion. Am sitting somewhere in Africa and have no dog done in this fight.
@@Epicfountain10 u must be living in mars not africa …. maybe u should search about what kurds did we lost hundreds of our people to isis bro

ISIS didn't make a comeback (not yet, at least), and Idlib rebels have, despite Warographics opinion, taken Aleppo almost in a single day. He was completely off with him implying that the rebels don't have a capacity to expand lol.
He overestimated the army of dictatorship... we in the west often do that.
That is called nitpicking because you want him to be wrong.

Germany could send hundrets of thousands fighting age syrians there to bring democracy into the region😂😂
If you want to, you could join the US forces to secure Rojave.
It depends on which Syrian group you support though. And what relation you could accept with al-Assad as well.

@@Scars.mp3 Again, it depends on what you are ready to give al-Assad.
I don't mean to be facetious when I say I had no idea it had ended at any point, I honestly thought they just got out of the news cycle.
You could argue it was out of the news cycle because the war had calmed down to such a point that, by some definitions, it wasn't large-scale enough to be called a war anymore.
That doesn't mean fighting had stopped or people stopped dying. Such is the ugly reality of the news cycle and of how conflicts can wax and wane over time.
It never ended, it just became a ”frozen conflict”, a conflict that hasn’t formally enden eith any agreement or peace but nobody wants to fight the other either so they just stop the fighting but sometimes skirmish.
