@@bonsai_wolverine The civil war grew ugly long before other countries stepped in. They stepped in because of how brutally the entire thing collapsed in on itself.
It always tripped me out that it seemed like every group of people living in Syria had decently well equipped militias that jumped right into the fighting almost as soon as it started. Like I get why the gov't, f.s.a, and Kurdish militias were pretty stacked, but it seemed like every Syrian ethnic group, religious organization, and political organization had halfway decent (for civilians) equipment for their militias. And right when the fighting started they all jumped right in, like they had been waiting for it. Intense.
To be fair, even Julius Caesar had to win his own civil war thrice (in Macedonia vs Pompey, North Africa vs his former lieutenant Labienus and in Spain vs Labienus again).

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.

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.

He mentioned Sudan. Ethiopia and Yemen are not on the levels of ones mentioned and Yemen is still basically a ceasefire even with skirmishes. Somalia doesn’t event count at this point
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.

@@CruelandColdYeah what is this nonsense, that’s what every successful regime in history has done. Every single country has some level of ethnolinguistic and philosophical coercion.
Not so fun fact, around 55 countries were actively at war directly or indirectly up till last month, its actually worst then what we think of it, dont see it getting better any time soon sadly😢
I’m a Syrian Christian still living in Syria. The major issue aside the chaos is poverty. If the world will just stop spending billions on wars and just feed us sad😢 Accepting any help offered
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
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.
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. 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.

Tbf there was no way to divide the Ottoman empire without fracturing the region. Human civilisation in the area is just too old with too many conflicting religions, cultures and ethnic identities with too few natural barriers such as large rivers to allow small states to survive. If there's not some overarching imperial identity to unite them, they just start fighting until one group gains supremacy; we've seen this repeated many times throughout history, from the Persian Empire to the various caliphates and the Ottomans. The issue is, a centralised state of that size is a threat to all of Europe - just look at what happened to Turkey & the Balkans. Were it not for the Reconquista, the Crusades and other such transnational military campaigns to push back against foreign incursion, Europe would've been annexed centuries ago. It's also impossible for a foreign power to administrate a region that large/disparate. There are no happy answers, just different degrees of bad.
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...
Guys, you are doing a great job, and thank you for your well-explained videos. I have a suggestion to improve them: Simon Whistler speaks quite fast and without pauses, which can sometimes be difficult to follow for non-native English speakers (even with subtitles). What would be really helpful are short pauses and dividing the videos into chapters, especially for long ones like this.
In 1945 you would have said it was Europe … in 1865 you would have said it was the USA in 1655 it was the UK and so one and so on … don’t kid yourself that the world has changed one bit …
@Verita1975 That is such an overgeneralization. It's so much more than a civil war or 2 that has caused the Middle East to be a generally bad place to live, with little to no freedoms/rights. You are correct, every region has been a "shithole" at one point in time in history. Europe really only saw minor peace post WW2, prior war was commonplace, countries rising and falling. Near constant war on the peninsula that is Europe, only minor peace points are Roman Empire and post WW2, and even then it wasn't peace for every European country. If history tells you anything, times of "peace" are usually short lived. Little clips of history, even then, little "pieces" of Earth. Regional and global peace would be nice.
@@Verita1975Europe and the USA are relatively peaceful in the modern day. Why are you comparing days of the past with the days of today? The continent of Europe or the USA aren't burning in 2024 like the Middle East is.
I haven't been to Idlib province since 2014. Though I doubt much has changed: it was Salafi Jihad central then, it's Salafi Jihad central now. The US began laundering weapons to Nusra, Ahrar ash-Sham in 2012 northern Syria as proxies against Assad (whose regime retained overwhelming Syrian support, not because it was good, but because it was better than the alternative). The Syrian war needs to be understood as a Western-backed attempt to overthrow a non-compliant regime. Dictators are preferred by the collective West, as long as they are our dictators.
I fought in Syria for the SDF "ypg kurds" in 2016-2017. Fought in the battle of Tabqa against ISIS. Crazy that they are building back up now. Lost alot of good friends to ISIS and Turkey.
@GuyCollins-o6n so many ISIS fighters from Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan,China, and Russia live in Turkey as refugees. I vividly remember when I was intelligence officer in Afghanistan. I captured one terrorist from China after confession. He told us, we were deployed by Turkish intelligence service to fight in Syria. after collapsing ISIS in Syria they entered in Turkey and sent them back in Afghanistan to fight against China. I know Turkey is working with other western countries to deploy all foreign terrorist fighters in Afghanistan to start war against Russia, Iran and China. If you need anything please let me know.
I am from Syria and I know my country well. The only solution in Syria is the transfer of power from a dictatorial state led by Assad to a federal government in which each region leads itself with the presence of a unified army that preserves all components of the Syrian people. Bashar al-Assad is the core of the problem. As long as he is in power, the war will continue because he feeds on it.
There has been basically one war there from 2011 to now. Before then it was just a minor Arab dictatorship like Egypt. Do you watch this guy's videos lol.
I wonder if this channel habe any bloopers. It would be great if you can release a video of all the bloopers. Of all the tongue twister. Thank you you're a great channel and an awsome presenter
The Chinese Civil war killed tens of millions alone, Korea killed 3 million, 3 million Cambodians died in genocide outside of the civil war fought there, 1 million in Rwanda, probably several million in Congo. The wars in the Middle East have largely been contained to Syria and Iraq. The world is not becoming more violent observationally, we just hear about it more from indie journalists. The wars are occurring in the second and third world outside the global security framework, which is why they are ignored. Russia-Ukraine is the closest Europe has seen to a globally consequential war.
Great analytics and you could really see the whole picture. I think it’s important to fully understand a problem before solving it and this video really helps. Unfortunately Syria is a big catalyst now to many of the word’s conflicts and your projections is very logical. Unfortunately Syrians are entering a new phase of the conflict, a micro-civil war where communities attack each other as you said.
One thing you didn’t mention is that according to SOHR, HTS is readying up for potential offensives in the case of a war between Israel and the axis of resistance. They hope to retake a lot of territory including even potentially Aleppo city. The National Front of Liberation, Ansar Tahweed, and other rebel groups HTS is allies or frenemies with would almost certainly join. They also have cells within Daraa that intend to activate and make major moves in the event of such a war. Those cells are being bolstered by recruiting young men who lost fathers or other family to the regime who were more than happy to join HTS to avenge them. HTS and the other rebels will absolutely capitalize on any war that comes from Israel and there could be very substantial results from it.

Well yeah, when you have 20+ countries as active background participants, that is bound to happen.
@@bonsai_wolverine The civil war grew ugly long before other countries stepped in. They stepped in because of how brutally the entire thing collapsed in on itself.
It always tripped me out that it seemed like every group of people living in Syria had decently well equipped militias that jumped right into the fighting almost as soon as it started. Like I get why the gov't, f.s.a, and Kurdish militias were pretty stacked, but it seemed like every Syrian ethnic group, religious organization, and political organization had halfway decent (for civilians) equipment for their militias. And right when the fighting started they all jumped right in, like they had been waiting for it. Intense.
Civil wars then: you win. Let's end the bloodshed.

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.

As a syrian, I appreciate the homework you have done to deliver this amazing accurate report.
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.

What for? People should focus on solving the problems theyre facing right now, not lamenting on whose fault it is.
Tbf there was no way to divide the Ottoman empire without fracturing the region. Human civilisation in the area is just too old with too many conflicting religions, cultures and ethnic identities with too few natural barriers such as large rivers to allow small states to survive.
If there's not some overarching imperial identity to unite them, they just start fighting until one group gains supremacy; we've seen this repeated many times throughout history, from the Persian Empire to the various caliphates and the Ottomans.
The issue is, a centralised state of that size is a threat to all of Europe - just look at what happened to Turkey & the Balkans. Were it not for the Reconquista, the Crusades and other such transnational military campaigns to push back against foreign incursion, Europe would've been annexed centuries ago. It's also impossible for a foreign power to administrate a region that large/disparate.
There are no happy answers, just different degrees of bad.
Honestly the Middle East would’ve been fucked anyways, secularism vs fundamentalists would’ve happened as the main regional conflict

Unfortunately Syria is a big catalyst now to many of the word’s conflicts and your projections is very logical.
Unfortunately Syrians are entering a new phase of the conflict, a micro-civil war where communities attack each other as you said.
One thing you didn’t mention is that according to SOHR, HTS is readying up for potential offensives in the case of a war between Israel and the axis of resistance. They hope to retake a lot of territory including even potentially Aleppo city. The National Front of Liberation, Ansar Tahweed, and other rebel groups HTS is allies or frenemies with would almost certainly join.
They also have cells within Daraa that intend to activate and make major moves in the event of such a war. Those cells are being bolstered by recruiting young men who lost fathers or other family to the regime who were more than happy to join HTS to avenge them.
HTS and the other rebels will absolutely capitalize on any war that comes from Israel and there could be very substantial results from it.

Aint no way he casually mentioned that Israel bombs their capital whenever they please, but said that "their actions are limited", and spent minutes talking about how Syria is a threat to Israel, without a single mention of the fact that the Golan Heights is internationally recognised occupied land. Hopefully in the remaining 10 mins he does, but it seems he is moving on to another topic without saying it
Dude is beyond sold-out. A well organized propaganda machine and a very professional brain washer. Nothing more, nothing less.
