- 0:35Speaker 3: We're cleared eyed about the fact that ISIS will try
- 0:38Speaker 3: to take advantage of the vacuum to re establish his
- 0:40Speaker 3: capabilities to create a safe haven. We will not let

- 0:53Speaker 3: ICEIS camps and ISIS operative We will help.
- 0:56Speaker 1: So they're attacking the Jihatas that they don't support, but
- 1:00Speaker 1: not attacking the Jihatis that they do support. I don't know,
- 1:04Speaker 1: and this is just all seems insane to me at
- 1:06Speaker 1: this point, I mean, why why be involved at this point?
- 1:10Speaker 1: It just seems crazy. I mean, I don't even I
- 1:13Speaker 1: don't even under I don't understand the point here I
- 1:16Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it's got something to do with some
- 1:18Speaker 1: pipeline or something. I don't know, going through Satura Abia
- 1:21Speaker 1: answers Seria. I don't know, maybe something like that. But
- 1:24Speaker 1: you've just got a bunch of Jihati groups there. Let's
- 1:27Speaker 1: take a look here, US launches dozens of precision airstrikes
- 1:31Speaker 1: in Syria. Just everybody the rebels are Gihati's as well,
- 1:36Speaker 1: like just everybody is. It's just that's that's who's all
- 1:40Speaker 1: of the groups there, All of the groups there are
- 1:43Speaker 1: just they're all the same thing. But let's get to
- 1:46Speaker 1: this first. We'll get to that in a second. We'll
- 1:47Speaker 1: go through that in a second, but first. According to
- 1:51Speaker 1: a scent Com statement, the operation involved precision precision strikes
- 1:56Speaker 1: on over seventy five targets, including multiple air force assets,
- 2:00Speaker 1: including B fifty two bombers, at fifteen fighter jets, and
- 2:03Speaker 1: a ten aircraft. The US Central Commands SENTCOM announced on
- 2:07Speaker 1: Sunday that it has conducted a series of airstrikes in
- 2:10Speaker 1: central Syria targeting ISIS camps and operatives as part of
- 2:14Speaker 1: an ongoing effort to combat the terrorist organization.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Quote.
- 2:19Speaker 1: The strikes against the ISIS leaders operatives and camps were
- 2:22Speaker 1: conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade,
- 2:26Speaker 1: and defeat ISIS in order to prevent the terrorist group.
- 2:30Speaker 2: They're all terrorist groups there, all of them, but netty case.
- 2:34Speaker 1: In order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external
- 2:37Speaker 1: operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to
- 2:40Speaker 1: take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
- 2:48Speaker 1: The largest group of rebels currently in control in Syria
- 2:52Speaker 1: is Hyatt Terrier al Sham HTS. So HTS has spearheaded
- 2:59Speaker 1: recent rebel offense, capturing major cities like Aleppo, Hama and
- 3:04Speaker 1: advancing toward Damascus. It originated as an offshoot of al
- 3:09Speaker 1: Qaeda al Qaeda al Qaeda, also known initially as Jabbat
- 3:17Speaker 1: al Nuzra, but officially distanced itself from al Qaeda in
- 3:20Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Despite this rebranding, HTS is still considered a
- 3:26Speaker 1: Jihadis group by many international entities, including the United States, Russia,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and Turkey, where it is designated as a terrorist organization.
- 3:36Speaker 1: So I mean it's an offshoot of al Qaeda. Who's
- 3:40Speaker 1: this guy? The who's the leader of this Its leadership
- 3:43Speaker 1: included Abu Mohammad al Jolani, who was attempted to moderate
- 3:48Speaker 1: the group's image, focusing on local governance in id Lib
- 3:52Speaker 1: while maintaining a strict Islamist ideology. The composition of HDS
- 3:57Speaker 1: includes both Syrian fighters and foreign militants, with an emphasis
- 4:01Speaker 1: on Seliphi Jihattist ideology. Hmmm, Syrian HTS jihadist leader Al
- 4:09Speaker 1: Jolanni was bag Daddy's deputy in Iraq. Who is bag
- 4:14Speaker 1: Daddy here? He is Abu Baker Baghdaddi isl or isis
- 4:20Speaker 1: leader who the who Biden is just bombing right now?
- 4:24Speaker 1: So but not the guy who is his deputy in Iraq.
- 4:30Speaker 1: So it all feels like some sort of game, right
- 4:34Speaker 1: just picking just you you pick the the Jihadis, you
- 4:37Speaker 1: don't like the Gihannis. You do like they're all the
- 4:40Speaker 1: same thing anyway, But there's I guess it's the ones
- 4:44Speaker 1: you think you can control for things like I don't
- 4:46Speaker 1: getting like a pipeline through or something.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what do I know?
- 4:52Speaker 1: Although I mean, I think it seems like they should
- 4:56Speaker 1: have learned through the whole, through the whole Halliban thing,
- 5:00Speaker 1: the whole Afghanistan. They kind of figured, well, we can
- 5:03Speaker 1: arm these guys, these jihadis, and then they'll be our
- 5:06Speaker 1: friends forever, and it doesn't really work out that way.
- 5:08Speaker 1: They tend to be fairly unpredictable, but predictable in the
- 5:12Speaker 1: sense that they they're going to hate you. They hate
- 5:15Speaker 1: you while you're helping them, and they're going to hate
- 5:17Speaker 1: you after you're finished helping them and they get what
- 5:20Speaker 1: they want. So I don't know. It all just seems
- 5:23Speaker 1: like lunacy to me, to be honest. CENTCOM emphasized that
- 5:27Speaker 1: initial assessments indicate no civilian casualties resulted from the strikes.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Are they sure about that?
- 5:34Speaker 1: At General Michael Eric Carilla, commander of SCENTCOM, reinforced the
- 5:38Speaker 1: US commitment to preventing ISIS from regaining a foothold in Syria.
- 5:43Speaker 1: News flash, they've taken over Syria. They just got a
- 5:46Speaker 1: different name.
- 5:47Speaker 2: That's it.
- 5:48Speaker 1: They're all the same thing. All of these groups are
- 5:50Speaker 1: the same thing. There should be no doubt. We will
- 5:54Speaker 1: not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the
- 5:57Speaker 1: current situation in Syria. So Softball CNN interview for the
- 6:04Speaker 1: guy for their leader for the offshoot of al Qaida group.
- 6:09Speaker 1: So I mean, I guess you can. I guess you
- 6:12Speaker 1: can see something here.
- 6:14Speaker 2: Right.
- 6:14Speaker 1: For some reason, CNN's giving a nice softball interview to
- 6:18Speaker 1: the guy who's the hottest Islamic extremist group just took
- 6:22Speaker 1: over Syria. This was before this was before this happened,
- 6:27Speaker 1: he said. In this too, he says the Islamic government
- 6:30Speaker 1: for Syria, minorities will be protected. He says, why would
- 6:34Speaker 1: anybody believe that the rebels learned to be a good
- 6:38Speaker 1: and coordinated army. He grew out of his isis days
- 6:42Speaker 1: and is wise. Now let's see, all right, So what
- 6:48Speaker 1: do you guys think? Does any of this seem sane
- 6:51Speaker 1: in the slightest bit? Why not just get out, just
- 6:55Speaker 1: not be involved in the giant mess which I don't know.
- 7:00Speaker 1: There could possibly be unintended consequences for the planners of
- 7:05Speaker 1: this because obviously obviously the guy getting the softball CNN
- 7:11Speaker 1: interview is backed back by the US, but back by
- 7:14Speaker 1: the administration.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Right.
- 7:15Speaker 1: It often turns out it seems when you mess with
- 7:18Speaker 1: these people that there's unintended consequences totally predictable to sane people.
- 7:23Speaker 1: But apparently the planners that just can't see that far
- 7:26Speaker 1: ahead for some reason. I don't know anyway. That's all
- 7:30Speaker 1: I'm going to say about that. Please like, share, and subscribe.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Subscribing really helps me out. I thank you for that.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I will see you next time.
