Yo bullshit you use the fake map of the Arab the Sahara is Morocco!!!
With the help of the 👿 West , of course
God Bless Assad for protecting Middle East Christians.
Cope and seethe 😂😂😂 all your videos is just seethe at american enemies
AS a Syrian who lived through the war since 2011, I can tell you that's this is only about 30% of what actually happened in Syria. This is mostly what's going on on the table but underneath it is way more different.
At the end the Syrian people are the only one who lost in this war.
Yeah if Americans and the West didn‘t invade Syria for oil then this war would have already been over in 2013-2014
How can we learn?
@@daniyilsemi2941 unfortunately a lot of the intimate knowledge is region locked. You would have to get one of the few Syrian journalists.
I'm sorry you went through this, I hope you're ok
As syrian what do you immediately want for your country??
The Syrian civil wars is literally the definition of outside Medelling, Russia, US, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey .. Holy crap it's like a G8 Summit down there.
Tbh Turkey is the biggest problem
@@mortifer2630yes those idiots did Americans work by bombing Syria now bitch all day about refugee that they caused
@@mortifer2630 no us lead coalition that funded and supported isis, sdf and pkk for about 13 years now. turkey want a buffer zone
@@ekler1304
And the Turks did absolutely nothing to cause it...
You are wrong. What is happening in Syria is the rule of non-Muslim minorities over the Muslim people of Syria, and the proportion of Arab Muslims exceeds 85 percent, meaning the overwhelming majority.
Imagine being an optometrist one day and a few years later you are fighting a civil war against at least 6 different rebel groups supported by 7 different sovereign powers including the U.S.
55 groups
6? Try 60
The US literally sabotaged the rebels and prevented countries like Turkiye and Qatar from giving them heavy weapons and ADS. They literally asked Russia to intervene to save Assad because they did not want him to lose and they bombed the rebels for him. Also countries like the UAE and Saudi literally betrayed the rebels and gave intelligence to Assad and Russia so they could take out their leaders. And funny of you to ignore that he almost lost even with all of Iran´s support until Russia and the West started bombing them from the air.

I love how America was straight up throwing weapons to terrorist groups with zero plan.

5:39: Who else but Quagmire?😅
Assad has won the war. He's alive, and regained all regional capitals, and like 90% of the areas in terms of gdp. A massive win by Assad. Ofc it is still a loss in the sense that every war is a loss, and losing significant geopolitical leverage for over a decade, but if you fight, this is about the best case scenario one can hope for.
Unfortunate that he's just another Putin, caring little about the lives of his citizens, but willing to sacrifice them to advance his authoritarian goals.
Assad turned his country into shit.
Also defintely couldve kept some more geopolitical leverage had he not gassed his own people. Once he did that, he guaranteed a strict condemnation and even partially invited western intervention. In the long run, gas was unnecessary
God bless him
King of the ashes...for as long as he can hold it.
the way he didnt pointed to the fact that americans are stationed on the oil producing provinces was Hilarious
Facts
also no one mention oil trade between ISIS and Turkey
Pro-Wes propaganda channels masquerading as "iNdEpEnDeNt"
Could say the same for Russia being especially interested in Ukraine's eastern natural gas rich provinces...... Double standards eh?
@KGBMajorValeriPrussia sitting in Ukrainian Crimea, and the eastern Ukraine also reeks of land grab. Sad vlad.
When the Syrian conflict first started at 2011, $1 was equal to 50 Syrian pounds. Now, in 2023, $1 equals 13,000 Syrian pounds.
Unfortunately . Life became so hard in Syria after the era of war. I am Syrian and i sense that .our paids in work are very little compared to the prices that are getting higher and higher .no services.no electricity.no water . 😢
The convertion metric is not a valid argument. Look at turkish lira and they got no IMF debt either. If you're smart you'll know what I'm saying
What is Syria like right now
Yup we're suffering from this shit
The Syrian civil war was the most dumb thing that people could ask for themselves.. They learnt no lessons from Libya , what happened and who gains in civil war... This is why citizens of nations shouldn't fall to Western propaganda..
great work, as a syrian i don't have much to say against your perspective. but i would like to add that the ceasar law affected us greatly and was and still is the reason why the region is suffering financially, with the syrian pound falling every day and people suffering from it, literally the monthly wage has become 10 dollars for us in here while living expenses only increased

@@DowntownKyoto no I don’t Syria has never been Americas friend this makes no sense at all….
Syria was always a Russian/Soviet Ally.
The map you are using is incorrect, Golan Heights at the lower corner of Syria is internationally recognized as Syrian territory occupied by Israel, so the map should reflect this fact...
It's been controlled by israel far longer then syria. And i thought all these borders are fake anyways? Funny how european lines are suddenly so historic when it comes to israel
The Golan heights was illegally given to France by Britain in 1923. By international law it belongs to Israel per 1920 League of Nations mandate.
@deshaun9473 You don't have to twist the truth just because you support Israel :)
Golan didn't belong to Britain to give it away the same way India didn't belong to Britain.... and Israel was created in 1948 and didn't join the UN till 1949 , while Syria was established in 1946, including Golan
and joined the UN on the same year...so the year 1923 is not relevant at all...
@@loaijawish3824 again, the Golan heights was illegally given to France by Britain in 1923 in violation of the League of Nations mandate. Secondly, international law says that colonial acquisitions of territory are illegitimate. Thirdly, Syria used the illegally gotten Golan to shell and bomb the villages of Galilee, and invaded Israel three times, 1948, 1967, 1973, with frequent cross border raids in between. The Golan heights only "belonged" to Syria in the same way Goa "belonged" to Portugal or Algeria "belonged" to France, ie not at all.
By the way when Israel gained its independence from Britain in 1948, it was immediately inavded by seven Arab nations with the support of Great Britain. I noticed you didn't mention in your long b.s comment.
@@loaijawish3824 and by the way, the League of Nations mandate consisted of modern day Israel and Jordan. We simply changed to our indigenous name, Israel.
After all this fighting and human loss, I never thought I'd see it all just return back to "normal".
Of course they can. The rebels lost backing, no more rebels and rebelling
Nothing goes back to normal. Syria is still divided between 3 different armies and ISIS is on the rise again, because Russia and Assad do nothing against the jihadists.
Normal for the US is, we are done bleeding for Arabs. Look at MBS scurrying everywhere looking for protection from Tehran. He ain't getting any from Uncle Sam and he knows it. Good luck, Persian Gulf. You'll be moaning for the good old days when the terrible Americans ran things pretty damn soon.

@@flameofudun4238 yeah the rebels failed
Strange he didnt mention Israel
bingo
This guy as well as infographics show, real life lore and some others are dirty western propaganda machines. Those who know little to nothing about these subjects will be learning it for the first time from these guys and will end up believing a twisted version of history.
The whole civil war happened because he’s a Christian and no one ever mentions this as the primary motivation for ISIS
He did. He said that Iranian weapons deliveries to Lebanon from syria gives israel an excuse to bomb syria. Israeli clandestine activities may provide some insight, but usa sentiments and Israeli policy is more or less the same, ie crippling ceaser sanctions and support to rebels.
He mentions that the current lack of coherent policy is why the Arab states are now pursuing strategic independence. He specifically mentioned Israeli Arab normalization attempts by the trump administration, implying that trump has a coherent policy for the middle east, but now usa tried and failed to reach agreements with iran and just forgot about the middle east.
The role Israel plays as part of Arab states pursuing independence in playing the different powers in east and west is very interesting but not specifically related to syria, in my opinion (though it reminds me of how syria managed some of its own independence by playing iranian and russian powers). Maybe another video about that or one focusing on Palestine will give insight (ie the competition of influence between turkey and syria plus iran between plalestinian resistance groups). Or maybe discussing Israel's neutral policies regarding Russia (considering they refused to help Ukraine, since they want to continue the tacit agreements allowing them to strike Iranian assets through the Russian controlled airspace of syria, probably).
However I would be interested how further discussing Israel, with or without the context of this video can bring more insights! Take care

You left out a critical piece of the puzzle, mainly Syria and Hezbollah flooding Saudi Arabia and UAE with massive amounts of Captagon. This very lucrative drug trade has added billions to Assad's treasure chest and keeps Hezbollah floating in endless cash. KSA and UAE see this as a strategic threat and they need to make nice with Damascus and Teheran to get them to stop smuggling the drugs into the rich gulf countries.
interesting, had no idea about captagon
Syria produces 80% of the global supply. Al-Assad is exporting to the whole planet, not just the Gulf Countries. They know he's not going to be as crippled by western sanctions as he'd otherwise be, has Russian backing, & controls one of the most powerful, experienced armies in the Levant.
Yikes, never heard of that stuff. Apparently they estimate Syria's revenue at $57 billion from exports of the drug in 2022. That is a lot.
legalize, regulate and tax.
Yeah, captagon and synthetic drugs are huge in the black market. In Asia they fall captagon Shabu, basically the same drug, amphetamine similar to meth.
Likely most of the Captagon is coming out of South Asia. The golden triangle (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, China) which dominated the heroin trade has been more or less repurposed for these new drugs.
Many raw ingredient pharmaceuticals come from southern India and then use the old drug smuggling routes into Myanmar. Since Myanmar has had nearly endless civil conflict, drug cartels can operate more or less unbothered in the highlands.
There’s a good chance that China is controlling a lot of the drug trade behind the scenes, a sort of strategic destabilization.
Thank god
long live Assad and down with America who started the brutal civil war
Let states such as Syria and Libya be a brutal reminder to civilians around the world not to jump on the bandwagon of foreign interference. These countries were destroyed and thrown back decades. And all this for what? 'Democracy'?
Absolutley correct!
One hand wages the 'war on terror' while the other moulds terrorists. Contradiction? No. Nor was there any confusion at the command-level about, say, Libya's rebels being 'doctors, lawyers and dentists desiring democracy', whatever the papers may have printed. For a glimpse at the same technic at work in the now-considerable past, peruse Aulaire's 'Geneva versus Peace'.
you’re delusional if you believe the root cause of the syrian conflict’s escalation is solely due to foreign intervention.
perhaps the dumbest thing i have read today! Bashar was a failure before and after this forever war. this war will be over once he is gone
@@ramifarhat6008 no matter how hard you try to twist it because of your biased views, Syria is way, way, worse now than it was before the 'rebellion' started. For the west, the 'rebellion' was a means to install a western/Israeli friendly government, as opposed to the current Pro-Russian/Pro-Iranian anti-israeli regime, and for the local rebels, some of them were just opportunists who wanted to do better for themselves in a new government, or, worse, some were radical Islamists who wanted to get rid of secularism and other religions in Syria. Again, no matter how hard you try to twist it, none of these foreign and domestic groups ever really cared about democracy per se.
Been waiting for a video on this, thanks!
Not all arab supported the rebels
Algeria was against syria suspension from the Arab league and foreign intervention in it
That lead to Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar to To vocally Threatens algeria saying it will be next after syria

Algeria tends to be on the right side in geopolitical conflicts. I'm sad of what I consider was my country's government's biggest failure: they chose Morocco over West Sahara, acknowledging Moroccan claims and angering the people here... I'm Spanish btw
It is amazing how little recognition exists in the West of the anti-Arab direction pursued very avidly by Western imperialism since 2003, but even before that. The PLO was undermined, assassinated and de-legitimized in the early 2000s. The next targets were Iraq, Libya, and Syria; all secular-leaning Arab states. Yes, if Syria falls, Algeria is next.
Of course, Qatar hated that. They were one of the biggest financiers or rebels
@@elpito9326 No your country chose right side and if your people are angered its probably a small percentage.

Thank you!
The Assads are tough. Bashar's father, Hafez Assad, is perhaps the most underrated Arab leader, and probably the single toughest leader in post-war Middle east He was in a hopeless situation militarily, leading a country with no significant oil wealth and having to face vastly superior Israeli forces. He still managed a triumph in Lebanon, first by killing Gemayel, and then by turning the war into Israel's Vietnam. Hezbollah was created by Iran, but without Assad's support and guidance it could have never evolved into what it is today. Also, Assad was something of a forerunner to Putin, in that he had an impressive network of supporters ranging from far-left George Habash to far-right European nationalists.
True
As a Syrian the Assad family are the worst presidents you could ever imagine. They used chemical weopons against us , they stole money from civilians which explains assads wealth .he is cutting us from resources. we can get only 20liters of fuel every 2 weeks if not more. plus the price of fuel is about 2$ per liter , you have to wait in line to get bread. we get only 2hours of electricity daily. we get limited water. salaries are so low. Average salary in Syria is 50$ a month which cant get you rent. Thats why you see a huge number of Syrian refugees.

Can you do a video on global birth rates?
In places like East Asia, people just cannot afford to have children, and even if they could, they wouldn't have time to raise their children due to the nature of the East Asian work culture and their careers would be negatively impacted.
Governments like Japan and Korea aren't committing to solving the root of the problem, but instead hope that cash incentives will raise births.
I'm using East Asia as an example as that is where the causes of the problem are most extreme.
Have you seen the beginning of the movie idiocrazy? Because that’s kinda happening right now
Only reason western world have bigger birth rate is because of immigrants. And unlike the US western Europe has absolutely failed to integrate the muslim population. The second and third generation of Muslims are more homophobic and more likely to join terrorist group than the first generation. My history teacher says western Europe will look like Israel in the future. It won't become islamic like many fa right says but there will be more terrorist attacks and more security guards in many European streets. Meanwhile in east asia individualism will start to grow and family structure will collapse. Completely. I really don't know which is worse.
It's overhyped.
Working hours in Japan is less than USA or Canada.
Birth rate in Japan is 1.47
It has increased, Japan took measures to tackle it.
Korea are still implementing it there birth rate is below 1.0 while their work hours is longest in statistics.
Japan of today is not 2010.
It just youtubers use Japan for Views with recycling 1990 economy downturn again and again
Westerners are in no position to talk about it, especially because most of them don't know anything about east asia except what the news try to tell them.
Birth rates are dropping all over the world btw
Great work, thank you
Back when the Syrian conflict kicked off, I saw John McCain saber rattling, along with other politicians of both major parties, and instantly thought it seemed like US meddling.

Overall this is a good summary of events. What you could keep in mind in the future is to include the natural resources map of the countries in question. Especially in the case of Syria seeing the oil and gas sites of the country next to the different nations' military deployments helps you get an understanding that's currently lacking in the current form of this video.
Other than that, keep up the good work :)
Nah that’s Wendover Productions job 💀😂 he dropped a couple bangers regarding the resource issues in the Middle East, which goes beyond pointing fingers at Russia/US/Iran/Israel/Turkey/Etc.
I think you're referring to America needing control over the world's oil right?
As far as America’s concerned, any oil Syria gas (as well as the entire Middle East) is irrelevant. Thanks to Shale, we’re basically energy independent, and that’s before we get more alternative energy sources like Nuclear and Renewables online
let's remeber the US is still illegally occupying most of the land that has syrai's oil
When a reporter asked Trump what he‘s doing in Syria, he said that their troops are there because of the oil.
It‘s a shame because Syria would have enjoyed peace already if Obama hadn‘t invaded it

It's not about the US lack of coherent policy about the Middle East, it's about the almost total disinterest of US in what's happening in Middle East.

Amazing report 👍as usual 🔥
Here are a few updates, which are not expected to be known if you are not living there.
- 15 years ago! there was a plan to build gas/oil pipelines from Qatar/KSA/Kuwait/and Bahrain to Europe, to provide Europe with all its needs and eliminate the dependencies on the Russian oil/gas. The pipelines were supposed to go from the Golf area through Saudi Arabia north to Jordan, Syria, Turkey, then Europe. everyone was on board except Syria.
Russia was aware of this plan and was able to secure the Syrian government on its side. When the Arab Springs started to crash the Arab countries like dominos across the Arab countries! The Golf area and Turkey used their money and weapons to spark a civil war considering AL Asad is from a minority ethnicity in Syria (Alawie), and the majority are like the Arab Peninsula and Turkey (Sunna). It was a brutal civil war, really really brutal, only Syrian who were there know exactly how hard was it.
Now Russia is keeping supporting the Syrian Government for multiple reasons and in exchange for taking control of the new-discovered oil/gas field in the sea in front of the Syrian coast. Turkey used this war to control more of what the Kurds used to control.
The !$i$ creation was brutal, rebels and mercenaries from all the Arab countries, Turkey, Central Asia, and even Africa rushed to fight there. The amount of money from all these countries and the USA was huge. made every cheap soul rush there to fight. In 2015 Russia had to interfere to protect its presence, now like the report said, not all of the country is under their control, but most of it, and stale military situation, but the economic situation is beyond repair, people are starving, and believe it or not, they are getting 1 hour or less electricity every 5 hours.
- Not to mention, there was a huge catch for the USA during the war, Do you remember the Silicon Valley crisis a few years ago? The USA used to depend on Bengal Silicon to support the tech industry, however, the Bengal Silicon was and still around 70% pure, the Syrian desert, specifically, northeast Syria (and West of Iraq) where are the American bases now, have over 90% purity Silicon, which was the catch for the American presence, also where the bases in the south of Syria near the Jordanian border.
All the details in the video, plus these key points, plus the Israeli protection against the mess there, plus the Turkish agenda to use the Syrian refugee against Europe as a pressure card to join the EU, plus the drop of educated people there who spread around the world, plus the uncontrolled weapon traffic, and many more made the situation way more complicated. Also, the Chinese agenda to invest in Syria to have privilege in the Mediterranean shouldn't be ignored.
al-Assad and his state has simlar arguments to other dictators. The alternative is between me and chaos, partly because I have crushed all alternatives other than chaos.
It doesn't make the conflicts leading up to the Arab Spring go away. It's still not that good to live in a place where you need an uncle in the right security service to get a job, where the military runs large parts of the civilian economy and where the government's inability to handle a water crisis keeps pushing veggie and bread prices up.
Valid points 👏👏
Good reminders
As a Syrian citizen, the revolution was not peaceful at all. "It's been planned for years." Syrian intelligence seized huge quantities of American weapons in Syria before the war. Its goal was to support the rebels. The rapid development of events and the weakness of the Syrian experience at that time made the reaction of the government, which sensed the danger, very violent. The rebels were like poison in the air. Inside Syria, you cannot know your enemy. Perhaps your brother, who owns the same house, suddenly becomes rebellious and blows himself up. Events have accelerated too quickly to be unplanned. Suddenly, we had hundreds of thousands of foreign mercenaries backed by Western weapons, and the world turned against the Syrian government, which had been discredited by the opposition. Media supported by Arabs and Turks. The strange thing that shocked those who tried to overthrow Assad was his extreme calm. He showed no signs of fear or fatigue. Look, for example, at the beginning of the war, the President of Ukraine was as if he was urinating on himself out of extreme fear. It showed on his face, but Assad was...calm and wise. He preserved Syria’s main army weapon, which is the huge arsenal of ballistic missiles and missile factories in Syria, which did not... None of them are used in war.
as a syrian citizen myself, it is people like you who held back the revolution. the protests WERE peaceful and were inspired by the brutal detainment and torture of children at the hands of the regime. you should know better than anyone than innocent children make up thousands of detainees in prisoners. and yet you’re portraying the rebels are the problem? “suddenly becomes rebellious and blows himself up” you’re delusional if you think that was the purpose of rebellion or a natural course of action they would take. your comment is ambiguous but you don’t seem opposed to the genocidal maniac’s regime who acts as putin’s puppet master. you should really revise your comment and your views.
@@carrotcake12348 You have been brainwashed thanks to propaganda and theatrics for 13 years by the foreign-backed opposition. Who are the children who were tortured in Daraa? What are their names? Where are the families? Where are their pictures before and after torture? The revolution was never peaceful. You think it's just that. I lived it and know its details. Research the relationship between the gas war and the Qatari gas pipeline in Syria, and you will find that Qatar, the Gulf, Turkey, and the Muslim Brotherhood are the ones who created the revolution in Syria in order to change the Assad regime and replace it with a pro-American regime that extends the Qatari gas pipeline through Syria. Syrian intelligence has seized huge quantities of American weapons in Syria since the first days, and these are not hypotheses. This is a certain thing. Look at what Qatar's Foreign Minister said publicly about Syria. He said: “We are the ones who ignited the revolution in Syria.” There are many videos on TH-cam of him talking about this. How can someone remain brainwashed for 13 years?

Great for Syria 🇸🇾
Let me tell you how sanctions affect ordinary people.
You keep getting poorer and poorer and the economy starts to crumble.
The aim is to cause instability in society forcing the government to leave. However, this doesn't happen in practice. Take Iran for example, sanctioned like hell, but the government wasn't toppled. So the main outcome is extreme suffering of the population and maybe some concessions in future negotiations. Dirty game. Actually, politics as a whole is dirty.
Indeed, from someone who's far from politics one-sided sanctions are just financial terrorism.
The goal of sanctions is to get population discontent so they people will revolt against the leadership. Once a more "suitable leader" that is agreeable to western dictates comes in place, then the sanctions will tone down based on the "performance and cooperation" of said suitable leader to their western sponsors interests.. This is how puppet govt's are created - Yanukovich overthrow in Ukraine is an example..
Politics are incredible or can be disastrous, that's why I like see how the world develops
Let Assad lead his people to the modern world without religious fanaticism.
I mean, Syria has always being more or less a secular country
@@JuanAlvarez-wp6ww Yea man l think these wars right now are getting stupid. We need to worry about our planet and all life on it or we are doomed.
Beautiful. What software did you use?
Sanctions target women and children depriving them of food and medical supplies. It doesn’t get any crueler then that.
He was there with his people when syria got hit by earthquake and i dont see any of those opposition leader with them but instead want more doubling down on sanction against the people of syria
Great in depth information to start learning factual information in regard to the middle east, to leverage in Education. It is sad is politicians think in geo priorities, instead of geo suffering. If our politicians were to change their scorecards, their intentions and perhaps sometimes innate "bias", all would all be talking🙏and listening.
An impressive work! Thanks for this video.
Great video. Thank you
The attack on Syria was horrific, but I’m glad they know the individuals involved with the attack and ambush.
The us troops in west of syria where there is a big oil field more than 3 billions of barrels political specialists said if you want to see american soldiers go where there is oil all this war is a consoiracy of usa of cors with the help of turkey and arabs us and turkey want stolen and share the oil and syria teritories arabs want want a gas pipe to pass through syria from qatar and saudi arrabia passing through turkey then europe syria refused this project they started a civil war by building an operating chamber the MOC ( military opretions chamber) including the secret services of the usa turkey qatar saudi arabia france and england to the south of turkey in adana with the borders of syria it's objective was to create armed groups composed of syrians and jihadists coming from all over the world the armed and trained and directed their military operations against the Syrian army the two main conditions required for these groups is not to attack or make a decision without taking the approval of this chamber second important condition is not to touch or harm to the security of israel especially in the occupied golan, we just have to destroy syria, all that i say was disclosed in a televised interview by the former qatari minister of foreign affairs the reason why this project failed is that russia intervened and the most important thing according to the Qatari minister is that there was a discord between the Saudis in one hand the Turks and Qatari in the other hand and the disagreements between American and Turkish also the remarks used by the former minister qatari is(We quarreled over hunting, and it flew out of our hands) after the help of russia syria recovered the majority of its territories the usa and turkey and their allies were afraid that they would defeat all its terrorist and armed groups so we created isis or daesh in order to stop the advance of the the Syrian and Russian army on the one hand and on the other hand given a pretext to stay and occupy the areas where there is oil all the Daeshians have entered through Turkish territory and this group which has more than 60,000 combatants s how in so little time gathered all the number if it is not an organized secret service work in addition this group has launches request horn which destroys the chards and which works with the laser launches request the only organization which has it is nato. syria was an economically prosperous country more than 80 percent of the people are middle class the syrian citizen had a job a house or apartment and a car it was the most secure country in the region girls go out to midnight without being assaulted or robbed the girl takes her car at 2 a.m. from the south west I go to the north east without being afraid the muslims the christians and the durz lived in harmony and in cohabitation the music the art the literature the the cinema was prosperous the cities were very beautiful and clean cleaner than European cities everyone was almost free life was easy they were self-sufficient in terms of wheat medicines they were independent of the world bank that's one of the reasons the usa wanted destroy this country you are going to tell me the dictatorship but the repression was not as much as it was in saudi arabia and qatar which does not even have a constitution so why is there no revolution in these two countries only where there is has a country independent of American control
Assad 🖤🤍❤ 🔥🔥🔥🔥
asaad the failure tyrant
Great summary
God bless Syria, Christ lives
This is the best maps animations I've ever seen
Must be for the American viewers who need to be reminded about geography 😅
There’s a reason when fellow Americans ask me to explain Syria to them I say you’ll never grasp it unless you have a strong baseline understanding of the region let alone the full global geopolitical spiderweb.
There are too many of them and they are too ignorant.
And an understanding of the history of the region. What we are seeing now is strongly rooted in the past.
