For those who don't remember, this is what a news broadcast used to be like. Not two minute overview and then some "expert" brought in to tell us how it makes them feel.
I have no idea of what your opinion is as you just gave facts and didn't express it. That's awesome, no mainstream news is able to do that anymore, great work!
Although I do agree, it's not our fight. Get out soldiers out. They're not even tactically significant and can do nothing but be a tripwire to an expansion of our involvement. I wish the Kurds the best and hope they can be part of prosperous future Syria. But that seems a forlorn hope. I have no idea what it will take for people to stop hating each other. Actually - I do. But Christianity has already been tossed aside in that region.
@@Polit_Burro "Regime" is synonymous with "government" with a hint of authoritarianism. Nothing wrong at all with his usage of the word. It's factual, not an opinion.
Agreed, I hate it when they have some "expert" try to put their own spin on how they interpret an event to justify certain entities to be good, bad, dumb etc. in order to influence the way people think.
Just facts, please tell me your being sarcastic right,the guy has an American accent, chemical weapons stockpile, where have we heard that before,,a million plus dead civilians later....
@@timbob1627 Also, he is wrong about the yellow territory. The yellow Blob on the Iraqi border are american troops and american aligned militias. He really should have known this. There was an incident a few months ago, where 3 americans were injured or killed. Also, the Pentagon confirmed bombing runs to protect Amercian Assets/Forces about a week ago. I believe that was to protect the yellow bubble to the right.
Those are Putin talk points!!! HAVE YOU NO SHAME??!? What's next? Are you going to start digging up dirt on the past activities of AlNusra jihadists??!? 😲😢😢😢😡
Meanwhile in the backroom: "Let us keep our bases!" ok no problem, give us Assad. "But we can shower you with oil and rubles" No, Assad would be good enough.
Thank you Ward for NOT adjusting the microphone ever five seconds and or waving your hands around. At last a presenter who is professional and concise.
That kitchen formula is a classic since the Brits deserted the Middle East in the 50s. That's what colonialist empires do: making a mess coming in, leaving one when going out.
Hard to stay impartial given the many interest groups involved in this conflict. Ward, you’re doing a great job and hopefully be the standard for future journalism
I just can't see how Syria as an independent nation can ever assemble a stable and conflict free government of the people. There's too many factions at play here, and there's so much distrust that when anyone comes to power, the others are instinctively going to object and "fight". I'm no expert or scholar, but I'm starting to think Syria's only outcomes are it either breaks up and get's absorbed into other neighboring countries, or another brutal dictator takes over and instills order by brute force. Perhaps the dissolution path would be the least violent. Again, I'm no expert, so don't beat me up here if I'm not making sense.

Best current affairs "that matter" channel is right here, no BS, straight as a laser and to the point with facts and not some contrived crap that you get on the MS media....thank you good sir for all you deliver to us...whether it be current news, one of your awesome stories of when you served, or some of the collab's...all of them are avidly watched and enjoyed. Cheers from Sydney Aus!!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻
As others have already said, this facts-only and precise characterization of an otherwise complex situation is outstanding. Just imagine how much time one would have to spend on regular media to get this full picture, yikes. In addition, the pictures and footage are always some of the best. Brilliant reporting, just brilliant. Thank you
Man, this is the first time Ive watched, and I dont particularly trust random channels. So I fact checked and everything reported in this story checked out. This channel is actually legitimate.
White boy did you also fact checked the fact that your country the white supremacist aka fascist country has been supporting and funding ISIS and Al Qaeda fighters since 2011?
If we could just figure out the “Why” of war, there would be no more hunger, poverty, homelessness, etc…..The Trillions spent on war could be spent on living our lives ‘normally’ without the fear of the human race being annihilated. ‘Suppose They Gave A War And Nobody Came’. Great movie title from 1970.
Many comments express appreciation for your factual reporting. All are well-deserved. Thank you for your service! Edit: These actually feel more like an intelligence briefing than a news update.
I enjoy your writing style. I would like to write this way myself. there is something about the journalist reading his / her own writing that makes the report easier and interesting to hear and process. thank you for your work, Ward.
The main stream media is owned by very rich people that sometimes control government and other times do government bidding. Anyone that looks at or listened to mainstream news outlets is just a brain dead political pawn.
Other than “oH No RuSSiA BaD” give me a valid reason why I should support Ukraine. Last time I checked it was a very corrupt war mongering country, but I could be wrong.
Thanks Ward..I update the family/friends on your news as received. Dont hear anything on the networks. Guess the anchors are too busy coloring their hair..lol.
I appreciate all you do, Ward. Your channel has quickly become my sole source of international military current events news. I appreciate everything you do and the quality of the guests you have on.
Dear Mr. Carrol, nice video. No BS, no fluff, just facts as you know them. Detail rich, yet brief and concise. Liked and subscribed. Thank you, sir. Cheers, D.
I’m more hopeful about this. The HTS have left most of the administrative arms of the Syrian government in place so day to day life can continue, but also they have opened up Assad’s horrific prisons and torture chambers to highlight the atrocities if the former regime. So it’s very different to what happened in Iraq or Libya. I hope the Syrians can work together.
Definitely worth to hope. "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst". It's right now a quite chaotic situation there and there are many factions trying to get their piece of the cake or at least increasing their buffer zones. Best would be to avoid getting your own fingers dirty there and just wait and see before striking any deals.
lol complete bs, hts is isis, has roots in al nusra front who joined isis later on, they've started mass execution of Christians and alawites, syria will become libya and iraq
HTS is known for beheading people, especially those of other faiths and stewing the heads of the beheaded. HTS is a terrorist- Al Qaida. Al-Julani has a $10 million bounty on his head from the US State Department. These were the people who were hired by the CIA to bring down the twin towers. This is bad news for Syria, especially for the Christians. But you rejoice in the murdering and displacement of one of the oldest Christian communities. St. Paul was baptized in Damascus.
Yeah long since due no doubt, question is though will it be run like, or as a communist country? That might end being back to 50 years back Cold War flare ups square one possibility
For those who don't remember, this is what a news broadcast used to be like. Not two minute overview and then some "expert" brought in to tell us how it makes them feel.
You beat me to it!
Obama's corruption destroyed much of this Christian Nation's value's

@ThinkAboutIt1703 That's the thumbnail, not the title and I hadn't seen it. But fair point. The video itself is impeccable though.

Obviously, you were not paying attention when he referred to the government as a "regime".
It feels like the man has done debriefs before.

they first asked them to give up the vessels and when the french officers did not comply the british attacked and sunk those ships
