The fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria is a miracle, and it has huge geopolitical consequences. What will the status of the so-called axis of resistance look like now that Assad has fled to Russia with his family? And what will that mean for the future of the Syrian conflict?
00:04:40.820And it's a fantasy in which you completely misunderstand what's happening and you overestimate the power of these groups and you become sort of a hater in your own land.
00:04:58.880And, and what I think is a very unhealthy way.
00:05:03.580So, let's remember that many right-wing commentators have been telling us for years that Assad is invincible.
00:05:12.460Well, no, he got played by the Turks, apparently, who, uh, funded or signed off on this operation, including, you know, wild men and berserkers.
00:05:45.060Uh, he's fighting against, uh, the GAE or woke or, or all this kind of stuff.
00:05:49.920And what you ultimately find when you rip off all of that packaging of the anti-woke, badass, trad, man of the West, maybe a little bit less so as Assad, but I've, I've heard a lot of talk like that.
00:06:10.460When you rip off that trapping, you find these 10-pot kleptocratic, just bullshit dictatorships that are, in Assad's case, killing hundreds of thousands of people.
00:06:28.440I mean, I will grant you that in the short term, things might very well be much worse.
00:06:37.360I get the idea of just stability for stability's sake.
00:06:41.440But if you act like that, you are going to become hated, passionately hated by your own population.
00:06:48.600Um, you know, with Putin desperately seeking help with North Korea, uh, bombing cities, destroying European families, um, throwing more and more Russian men into the meat grinder.
00:07:06.920Uh, at some level, it's pathetic and grotesque and really shockingly immoral, these people, these people that you think are resisting.
00:07:20.960They're not really, well, maybe they are resisting in some ways, but they're not really charting a new, a new course.
00:07:29.800They're not showing us a path forward towards a new type of politics or something that's even marginally admirable.
00:07:40.580They want to hold on to their really crappy countries, and they want to continue to, uh, murder the opposition on mass, uh, scrape off billions of dollars for themselves and their friends.
00:08:01.800And they're sort of playing the right wing by claiming that, you know, we're a trad, anti-globalist.
00:08:10.240Oh, we love the real America, et cetera.
00:08:13.480And my position at this point in my life towards people like Assad or Vladimir Putin or whatever, my position towards them is fuck them.
00:09:08.020And at the end of the day, none of these countries, whether we're talking about Iran, whether we're talking about Russia, whether we're talking about Syria in the Assad regime, none of these countries are actually more trad than the United States.
00:09:27.040If you evaluate them using any sort of metric, you know, premarital sex, abortion, pornography, homosexuality, church attendance.
00:10:08.800What that means is it's like liberalism on the scale of the globe where, you know, oh, we, we wouldn't even dare.
00:10:18.260Our ethno-religious community wouldn't even dare treading on your trad ethno-religious community.
00:10:24.020It's this non-aggression principle on the scale of the globe.
00:10:28.820All they are at the end of the day are, are, are, are, are backwards shitholes.
00:10:35.840And when their great leaders fail to actually chart a new course, or they fail to genuinely resist the global American empire, and they're just getting their asses kicked.
00:10:53.200Then why are we shedding tears over them?
00:10:56.000Why, why are we giving a shit about them?
00:11:05.360Russia, if many of the insinuations and accusations are true, Russia promotes some of the dumbest shit imaginable in the United States.
00:11:17.780Assad, I think he might've spent a little too much money on a garage full of Lamborghinis and didn't actually promote anything in the West that could have saved him.
