The Ukrainian people should take credit for liberating the Syrian people - because they have weakened Russia so much - rendering them totally unable to support the tyrant Assad any longer.
@@Jimmy-ye3wg yes. I'm sure it's just coincidence that Russia was unable to get Assad the resources he needed while undergoing an expensive three year operation against Ukraine. Because as we all know. The longer a war drags out, the cheaper it becomes.
Russia’s involvement caused immense suffering for us in Syria. Now, we’re finally turning the page towards freedom and a future without authoritarian model.
@@istvanglock7445 That’s an outdated stereotype! As Syrians, we absolutely deserve and aspire to freedom, just like anyone else. The progress we’re making shows that a brighter, more democratic future is possible in the region. Dictatorship only holds people back, and we’re determined to move forward. Let’s not generalize-every society deserves the chance to thrive under freedom and equality. ✌
You young man have nailed it. I was in Syria just at the start of the Arab Spring. I spoke to many Syrians who, at great risk, told me what it was like to live under Assad. One elderly gentleman said to me, “we need your help, not your hate”. Powerful and I still get emotional thinking of it after all these years. I get despondent when I see many democracies seeming to take what they have for granted. Democracy, like everything requires effort. For those who have forgotten that……..visit Syria. They need our help now more than ever.
" _They need our help now more than ever_ " Not sure about that. Recent, not-too-distant history would seem to teach us that western help or intervention isn't necessarily beneficial, and that peoples are probably best left to figure things out by themselves.
I am Russian and I am not afraid to say so! Many in my Russia know this war to be losed. Inflation goes up and ruble goes down. It is un-sustainability
Caolan, you beautiful man. All the best to the Syrians this year. Hopefully in 2025 we will also witness the defeat of putin, and the freedom of the Ukrainians.
I always suspected that the Putin regime and the Khomeini regime were deeply involved in ALL of the horrendous atrocities that were perpetrated by the Assad regime. There are a number of other people, at least one, a woman who is a British national and who has been living in Damascus were involved as well. The BBC did a programme a number of years ago in which this womans name came up. I hope that she is being investigated again.
Great report. But I just hope that the young correspondent for Times Radio takes care of himself. Young man - "keep your head on a swivel." Always be looking around you.
I tried to look up more of Caolan's work, and I'm not pleased with what I found. Did he really work for Alex Jones, of all people, and is now pivoting to "revolutionary" content without ever addressing his former alt-right ties????? Do better with your reporters, Times.
Brave white gy heading there right now, thankful for his bravery. But most importantly, the Syrian people deserve to have their stories to told. They've been silenced for too long.
Times Radio! An Investigation as to how many casualties and property destruction resulted due to celebratory Ak-47 fired bullets shot into the sky as a report about collateral damage would be interesting. All those bullets shot into the air hardly are immune to the laws of gravity as you would agree.
In Egypt, hopes after the overthrow of Mubarak were for democratic elections, but the best prepared group was the Muslim Brotherhood. In Syria, the power behind the Assad regime was the Baath Party, the new leaders need to ensure that the transition allows for a true representative government to be established and elections held.
@@walter3433 Americans have occupied the oil fields of Syria for 10 years and are pumping out the oil. From their they transport it to Turkey and Turkey delivers it to Israel. Btw; the Americans are stealing the oil for 10 years now. So the plundering is for free. Like they plunder everything wherever they go.
@@WestermanT. That's them just moving equipment around. It does not mean they are leaving. They will still have a presence in Syria it seems but a smaller one.

The two Nation-States have already started diplomatic talks 👍.
And now to watch who's next.
@@Jimmy-ye3wg Indirectly it is everything. Regarding lights Russia is having big trouble.
@@Jimmy-ye3wg yes. I'm sure it's just coincidence that Russia was unable to get Assad the resources he needed while undergoing an expensive three year operation against Ukraine.
Because as we all know. The longer a war drags out, the cheaper it becomes.
@@Jimmy-ye3wg yes. I'm sure that the resources Putin is expending on Ukraine would have had absolutely zero utility in Syria.
Russia’s involvement caused immense suffering for us in Syria. Now, we’re finally turning the page towards freedom and a future without authoritarian model.
@@dpelpal Thanks sister!
Very early days. Freedom and non-authoritarian rule don't seem to do well in the near/middle east.
@@istvanglock7445Aye, but Assad deserves even worse than exile.

Don't disagree with most of what you say. But at the same time it doesn't negate what I just said.

Indeed. Nice to see this young journalist with tears of joy in his eyes
" _They need our help now more than ever_ "

Democracy is much better for people. We need to help Ukraine so they can kick putin out🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@Boota1979 Yes I move Tblisi now I will also get parents to move
Happy New Year's!! ❤
@@CoffeeAndPaulThanks u☺
you are cool
@@ArchDudeifyThanks u🤗
What a first class report from this gifted young journalist. Bravo and thank you.
Needs to stop his eyes wandering tho if he wants more mainstream work
Caolan, you beautiful man. All the best to the Syrians this year. Hopefully in 2025 we will also witness the defeat of putin, and the freedom of the Ukrainians.
The world wants Democracy
Nobody denies Russia's expertise in the use of atrocities against civilian populations.
I always suspected that the Putin regime and the Khomeini regime were deeply involved in ALL of the horrendous atrocities that were perpetrated by the Assad regime.
There are a number of other people, at least one, a woman who is a British national and who has been living in Damascus were involved as well. The BBC did a programme a number of years ago in which this womans name came up. I hope that she is being investigated again.
Not Mrs Assad by any chance?
@rogerphelps9939 No. Another person, deeply political, who is from the left. Her name is Beeley.
No. Someone else. If I post the name it gets deleted.
If Russia was allowed to have military "vacationers" in Syria, then American and European soldiers are allowed to vacation in the south of Ukraine.
Thanks so much for having me on ❤
Nice report, lovely to hear enthusiasm in your voice. Happy NY pal :)
Touching to hear such a personal emotional report on whats going on over there, great reporting.
I am so glad for Syria and its population ..It is FANTASTIC to see how freedom changes EVERYTHING...FOR THE BETTER !!!!!!!
More wide-eyed, sensitive reporters like Caolan Robertson!
Great reporting. The reporter on the ground provides great insight.
An outstanding young man with great courage. Sounds like he is getting a baptism by fire about how horrible totalitarian regimes can be.
Putin’s going to start feeling the heat now. Keep up the good work TR. More stories like this are essential.
Nice work Caolan
Russia was too Byzantine to properly support Syria unlike the Frankish USA with its strong support for Israel
💙💛
Excellent interview! Thanks!
awesome report
Great report. But I just hope that the young correspondent for Times Radio takes care of himself. Young man - "keep your head on a swivel." Always be looking around you.
Excellent video, and reporting as usual, informative. Happy New Year 🥳. The World doesn’t need anymore Dictators. Or murders.

Food prices are up to 900% in Syria. Russia stopped its free food supplies there🤓
So Russia enslaved them with food
American weapons is what toppled Asad

Are Syrians that made it to Europe willing to go back to their home country?I wouldn`t bet on it.
TH-cam ads have reached a new gutter level. So you guys know what a deterrent they are here.
Go, Caolan!
Look at the camera dont move your head around please
Everyone forgets the US government invested billions in Syria’s operations over the past years.
Are you one of those russian trolls who try to argue that all the bad things Russia ever did were always the fault of the West?
Не обращайте внимания, это американские геологи, они всего лишь контролируют нефтяные месторождения Сирии.
Oké wappie.
Don't be so shy of the camera, please.
Syrians celebrate the US going to stay in Syria to 'Take the Oil'.
The US is a net exporter why would they ?

@@walter3433 Because the US steal it for free. That is what the Americans do everywhere: they plunder and steal.

you in the FO part of FAFO
Rude
russia = HYDRA
Is this guy (Calin) on drugs ? His speech is erratic and his construction of sentences is weird. He needs to sit down and have a cup of tea.
Irritating camera presentation
Another bullsh......
This report was embarrassing.
@@Anthonythumb Don't argue with a ru bot.
🎉
Why were you embarrassed by it ?
Freedom from Russia to start a theocratic 'free' Syria. Hogwash
Teenager's now?
Russia is not leaving Syria. The new Syrian authorities have continued their cooperation.
No one yet knows
So all the Russian equipment being removed and troops leaving is because they aren’t leaving ?
so ruzzian ships drifting in the sea is just because they like it that way?
@@WestermanT. That's them just moving equipment around. It does not mean they are leaving. They will still have a presence in Syria it seems but a smaller one.
@ by moving it around you mean taking it out of the country so there is nothing left there.
