This week’s edition of The Sunday Wire is broadcasting live from the Valley of the Sun, as host Patrick Henningsen returns this week to cover the planet’s increasingly audacious news and global affairs. On this episode we’re joined by special guest, geopolitical analyst James Corbett from The Corbett Report for a deeper discussion about the next phase of the Syrian Quagmire which is currently unfolding, as we examine ‘The Troubles in Asia Minor’ – complexities and realities of the ever chaotic and shifty sands between Anatolia, Kurdistan, Damascus and Tel Aviv (and the swamps of Washington DC).

Hi Al Saleh
Can you maybe explain what you mean please? I dont completely get what you are saying, but i’d like to know.
Matt
thanks
it would be good to provide a link, especially when you say ‘Bashar Al-Assad did not deny that he was in line with the IMF when he was Installed in a recent interview with a (bulgarian or czeck) media outlet.’
at the end you say and ‘allowed hundreds to be massacred’, i assume the opposition (rebels/terrorists) did the massacring.
so, as far as i can see, you are not really refuting the general opinion of what is going on in syria (in the podcast), just adding some more detail, which is great, thanks.
I’m sure james very much welcomes your input, as i do, but a few links would be good, i know i can go and search for myself, but you are making a claim so you should back it up, it’s not that i dont believe you but that i want to know more about what you are claiming.
I know a real Syrian but he arrived in Montreal at 3 years old and is a Christian Syrian. Yet he says Assad is the real leader of the country, another secular country in a muslim area which of course,the US or ISAF or NATO do not want to exist..well I guess scratch ISAF..we dont know anymore what they’re doing there other than protecting opium farmers. He says that his parents didn’t leave because of Assad persecution of Christians, which didn’t really exist, only because his dad is a surgeon who’s a bit greedy and came here for the better salary. Also he couldn’t stand living with a border to Israel with land between them permanently in a lull and is still swearing at how close Syria came to win the war against Israel the second time around. So yeah Arab Nationalism/Socialism even if they are Christians. It’s all what the Assads care about, they didn’t abandon Baathism (Arab Socialism was like a reverse caliphate, join all the countries from Morocco to Pakistan under an Arab Socialist Secular peaceful with its neighbours society. Syria and Lebanon are the only places left where such thoughts are barely uttered.
