You guys have no clue what's going on or why things have been happening and how they've been happening, do you? Iran wants Bashar Assad gone too. Russia and Iran are both tired of Bashar's games, having refused their insistence to hold talks with Turkey since 2023, even after Erdogan's been signalling rapprochement since 2022. The conflict needed a settlement and all those 4M refugees inside Turkey and all those Internally Displaced Peoples from the 7M population living in rebel-held territories needed to return home. Instead, it was just artillery and airstrikes fired on them every other week since August 2023. Now recently Assad's been having secret talks with the US and UAE to more distance himself from Iran and Hezbollah in exchange for easing sanctions. Part of the agreement is enforcing an arms blockade over Syrian territory against them and Iran-aligned groups. Assad is done politically.
Hi Danny, Thank you for inviting PePe to your show. I am an Iranian citizen of the United States. I have a few university degrees, including a Ph.D. in Political Psychology. Having taught courses in that field on topics such as the psychological bases of political decision-making and the history of conflict in the Middle East since the creation of Israel on the Palestinian land, I am fairly knowledgeable on these subjects. However, Pepe is head and shoulders above me. He belongs to the prestigious club of elite geopolitical analysts whose vast knowledge of the world's geopolitical landscape is so comprehensive and all-encompassing at a level to be considered as one of the greatest educators and storytellers. His ability to break down the complexities of the web of hidden labyrinthian typography of geopolitics is bar none. I never tire of listening to and learning from him. I am lucky to have such an educator as my teacher. He deserves to be acknowledged and revered. He is a gem of a man.

President Putin forgives but never never forgets. Erdogan blundered big time!! Another good post with the brilliant Pepe Escobar. Thanks to Danny for having him on. 👏👏👍👍
Actually President Putin has sold Syria to Turkey , you will see that very soon Putin pushes Assad to sign an agreement with Erdogan allowing Turkey to annex north west of Syria , Putin did it the last time as well.
I beg to differ. It's kindness and fairness that China and Russia have been practicing that made the west lost the war for the majority south. China and Russia have already won this war and it's confirmed by the acknowledgment of the west that the only way to regain the global majority for the west is through arm twisting and tariffs, ask trump if you still don't believe it.
@@michelegosse7116 Russia and Iran are both members of BRICS and allies with the Assad government. The intervention on their part is one of the reason that he is still in power. Due to the freezing of the artic over winter Russia needs a warm water port to keep its ships during these months. Syria helps with this. Iran sees Syria as a potential trading partner. Moreover if there are no US military bases in Syria then the potential for a war against Iran are greatly diminished. I'm sure to be missing some things, but that's a start.
@@ChrisSmith-bh2hgif this latest Western jihadist Coalition can overthrow Bashar al-Assad there will be only one country left standing in their way: Iran. Turkye just wants to be on the side that's winning.
Turkey has been fully in the NATO fold for some time: they have formally aligned with Ukraine, they sold them drones, they betrayed their word about the Azov nazis, they have also been (barely undercover) supplying Iraqi oil to Israel for more than a decade already, etc. But it became much more clear (at least since the US-Turkey crisis of 2016, that led to the anti-ISIS coalition and the US-Kurdish unstable alliance) when they were given a (much needed) massive loan in 2023 by the IMF (read: the USA) and they then stopped blocking the accession of Sweden to NATO. Next thing we know is that they and their satellite Azerbaijan moved, together with Israel, to end Artsakh (Upper Karabakh) self-rule of decades, while Russia did absolutely nothing (Iran at least has been making gestures of support but Russia has totally abandoned Armenia). Erdogan is not a bit more trustworthy than Angela Merkel; at least she admitted to be a total liar after the fact, Erdogan will just kick the can and pretend there's room for negotiation and duplicity, when he's now a total servant of the US Empire, which has of course carefully given him some bones but also some stick (Russia doesn't wield any stick against Turkey at all).
actually, we squandered our last chance to retain any meaningful quality of living in 2000 with the "election" of George Bush Jr, who then lied to the American public and invaded Iraq at the behest of 🦎🅰️✝️🅰️NYahuuu.
Their downfall tracks directly with their attacks on bluecollar workers wages from the 80's onwards. They destroyed their consumers spending ability. That birthed Bigbox import distributors such as Wallmart etc.. which bridged the gap between consumers and their declining earnings. This had the secondary effect of killing local manufacturing.. which further reduced consumer spending ability. Throw in credit to artificially kick the consumer spending can down the road and eventually you will arrive at a series of credit crunches.. the dominant player in the US economy now is the military industrial complex..they need war and plunder of other countries' assets to exist.
No, actually most likely they will finish Syria - or more precise strategically threaten this to happen, and have soemething to barter with Russia "You don't want that everything you built in the middle Est to crumble ? Well, maybe we can help you there, if you help us in Ukraine" which results in a strategic defeat of Russia - because of course the US will do whatever it can to really reform the middle East in their will (always israel included of course). I always had an extremly bad feeling when they let Idlib off the hook. That no one can trust Erdogan was also very clear from the start - thus entering into a deal with them without a hefty portion of contingency was a gamble - and they lost. Very, very bad situation if it cannot be reversed and as Pepe describes, very unlikely in the needed timeframe. The BRICS are frozen stiff in their tracks - only hope could be a hefty commitment on the part of Iran. If Syria falls the soft russian under belly lays bare and fires will start all over ! Very, very dark !
Pepe: " Guys, guys the invasion of Syria is a game changer for Russia, the Russian general staff war gamed it with BRICS, its over for the edgemon now.

I think people should think about what a Greater Israel would mean for the US and its European vassals. If Israel controlled the territory from the Nile to the Persian Gulf... That would be a huge advantage for the West. They would have control over the crossroads of the world, almost ALL the land and sea crossroads. Hence the unconditional support of the US and the West and their indifference to the people.
Thank You For Your Condemnation Of “Netanyahu”. Satanyahu as a description is on the money. The Evil That Lies In Israel Disgusting and Frightful.👏👍🏻👏.
But why Russia an ally of Syria watching Israel to continue bombarding Syria since day one of the Syria conflict without taking any action against Israel….?
It seems to me that Russia and the "Global South" are always playing on the defence and hoping for the best and, as a result, fail to see vulnerabilities. The USA and NATO. by default always exercise the unforseen-the impossible-and are always on offense. If Russia and Iran, collectively, allegedly the best chess players in the world, want to be victorious (i.e. survive the inimitable arrogance of the West) then they need to play pressure offense. Being "asleep' is unforgivable.
We are not enlightened to the various proxy activities at play. All I see is independent, and msm, are telling 2 totally different stories. (More Chinese maritime shenanigans, cutting internet cables, maybe, thats why we only get fractional information ?). I don't feel personally threatened, (unless a sugar mill, 20k's away, becomes a strategic target?). Mostly a tourist and retirement economy.
Escobar always makes sense. But he is making a mistake when talking about the loss of territory. It seems to me that Syria, with Rusisa. are following he Russian tactic of ceding terriroty to draw the enemy in and then to wipe it out, which is what is slowly happening and effectively.
Not a great tactic and it's not something that Russia actually did at all: each concesion they made, had to be regained (if at all) very painfully. Remember how in February 2022 they were in the outskirts of Kiev and controlled much of NE Ukraine? They gave away all that as "good will" and, as soon as they did, Zelensky abandoned all the negotiations, and Russia will have to regain all that (and even more) if they want to regime-change Ukraine. Worse: they (as USSR) gave East Germany and the enemy took everything all the way to the outskirts of St. Petersburg and just a few hundred km to Moscow. When have they regained even a tiny bit of all that?
@@fuzzybear6191 - No, it's not "well established". I've been following the conflict since 2014 and I know that Russia (or Donbass previously) never attack civilians, they are exquisite in respecting the law of war. On the other side, the Ukro-nazis (or NATOplus in general) couldn't care less: they'll kill, extract organs from children, torture as cruelly as possible, bomb civilian areas, etc. all the time. You have been deceived by the propaganda of the US Empire.
If Russia wanted to regime change Ukraine all they have to do is level Kiev. But they don't want to do that. They don't want to try to rule or govern Ukraine. They want a sovereign, neutral and neutered Ukraine.
This is the 3rd strike by Turkiye in disregard to Russia's relation with Syria. Turkiye knows nothing West or Russia can do becuase of the black sea access. I wonder!
Russia has only 1/4 of its military personnel and only 1/10 of its logistical and weapons material in Ukraine, according to all military experts and yourself Pepe; So why do you reason that Russia is going to have to move troops from the front in Ukraine to Syria?
Thanks Danny for another enlightening program. Your cogency and reflection shine through you carefully and well considered questions. Also the fact that your guests provide Knowledgeable, contextual and well founded answers. well
Pépé when we begin a job without finishing it to the end means that we didn’t do anything?! Believe me many are mocking Russia now and Iran there strategic patience won’t help them in that apocalyptic moment?! All the west plus Turkey and Israel feel that they counterbalance the previous situation?! So sad to see our hopes collapsing
Russia has been comitting many geostrategic evaluation errors, not just now but also in 2015, when they signed the Minsk Accords just when Donbass was clearly winning the war. You should never sign a truce, especially not a lenghty one, when you're winning: it will always be only to the advantage of your enemy.
@@LuisAldamizWest betrayed Putin. Frau Mörkel backed by Us betrayed their own people. Putin and Russia honor agreements unlike slimy West. West always cause the sh it.
Turkiye has 900 kms of continuous land border with Syria. There are about 5 (3.5 is registered) million Syrian refugees living in Turkiye. About 1 million ethnic Syrian babies have been born in Turkiye. What is the length of the borders of Syria with Russia or Iran? How many Syrian refugees are living in Russia or Iran?
Türkiye had to take in millions of refugees because of the Syrian war. Erdogan has offered Asad several talks but he has turned them down. Asad is not interested in a solution to the conflict. If Turkey is involved in the latest developments, that is completely legitimate, especially since Türkiye, as a direct neighbor of Syria, wants to secure its borders and enable the refugees to return to their homeland. What has Russia done so far to bring peace to the region other than pursuing its own interests? Why is Türkiye, as a neighboring country, not allowed to represent its own interests too??? What is Iran doing in Syria?
Turkey want to steal the gas oil of Syria and annex Syrian land, as Israel and America together. Assad doesn't trust Erdogan, as he always in fact with site of Israel and America. I think Putin must treat Erdogan and force to stop him to be an American Israely puppet.
I value this channel; however, the volume changes can be irritating. Sometimes I need to adjust volume levels, especially when Danny starts talking after the guest talks.
Thanks for the laugh. Assad is an idiot who is literally allowing Zionist Kurdish groups who WANT to carve up Syria to create a fake "Kurdistan" thrive in his own country.
The geopolitical landscape of the Middle East is getting more complicated snd chaotic. My head is really spinning to understand the reality. So many factions involved in these conflicts. From Gaza to Lebanon to Syria..... Thank you Pepe Escobar for your narratives on the middle east conflicts.
Thank you Danny and Pepe, what I understand BRICS partner status doesn't have decision making or voting power, it only participates in trade agreements and BRICS can maintain Turkey in that status for very long time, for the same reason Turkey was waiting long time to enter into the EU, now being a BRICS partner Erdogan cannot comeback and tell the EU "I decided that the EU is best for me" because now would be more difficult to be accepted. After the US put tariffs on Chinese products suddenly out of nothing Mexico became a top producer of all kind of things to sell them to the US and replaced China as its main trade partner, now Trump is threatening Mexico with tariffs, what is going to happen is that the US is going to isolate itself commercially from the rest of the world.
how did syria allow this to happen? didnt they see build up of invading forces? or were also there lots of sleeping cells in Aleppo and they acted in unison? i thought russia was supposed to have satellite reconnaissance of the place? were high up syrian army people involved with invaders? so many questions here! huge blow against those resisting the empire .
Pepe didn't study well. There are many groups acting together in Syria right now. It seemed strange to me that he only mentioned HTŞ. You should also see that the inner battle has nothing to do with bricks.

Thank You For Your Condemnation Of “Netanyahu”. Satanyahu as a description is on the money. The Evil That Lies In Israel Disgusting and Frightful.👏👍🏻👏.
I prefer calling him Sheitanyahu
And another Satan won’t take his place?
There are even worse than him...
Turkye is always playing on double basket...
Yea they multi facd basket
Smart move. They gain their own benefit by defeating pkk
Not a big surprise. US is paving the way for its partition by supporting kurds.
Yes, and Erdogan is too drunk on power to realise that.
😮😮😮
But why Russia an ally of Syria watching Israel to continue bombarding Syria since day one of the Syria conflict without taking any action against Israel….?
Because Putin is their ally. Putin is jewish by birth as his mother was jewish...
Family connections?., (no, mainly polish..).🤔
Thank you for the great analysis!
It seems to me that Russia and the "Global South" are always playing on the defence and hoping for the best and, as a result, fail to see vulnerabilities. The USA and NATO. by default always exercise the unforseen-the impossible-and are always on offense. If Russia and Iran, collectively, allegedly the best chess players in the world, want to be victorious (i.e. survive the inimitable arrogance of the West) then they need to play pressure offense. Being "asleep' is unforgivable.
We are not enlightened to the various proxy activities at play. All I see is independent, and msm, are telling 2 totally different stories. (More Chinese maritime shenanigans, cutting internet cables, maybe, thats why we only get fractional information ?). I don't feel personally threatened, (unless a sugar mill, 20k's away, becomes a strategic target?). Mostly a tourist and retirement economy.
@@duellingscarguevara Regarding MSM, I first assume the article is a Psyop. Perception is everything.
Pepe Escobar talks about carpet politics is fantastic
Escobar always makes sense. But he is making a mistake when talking about the loss of territory. It seems to me that Syria, with Rusisa. are following he Russian tactic of ceding terriroty to draw the enemy in and then to wipe it out, which is what is slowly happening and effectively.
Not a great tactic and it's not something that Russia actually did at all: each concesion they made, had to be regained (if at all) very painfully. Remember how in February 2022 they were in the outskirts of Kiev and controlled much of NE Ukraine? They gave away all that as "good will" and, as soon as they did, Zelensky abandoned all the negotiations, and Russia will have to regain all that (and even more) if they want to regime-change Ukraine.
Worse: they (as USSR) gave East Germany and the enemy took everything all the way to the outskirts of St. Petersburg and just a few hundred km to Moscow. When have they regained even a tiny bit of all that?
Interested view. Hopefully that is the plan.
@@LuisAldamiz It is what Russia has done in Ukraine, and over and over again. This is well established.
@@fuzzybear6191 - No, it's not "well established". I've been following the conflict since 2014 and I know that Russia (or Donbass previously) never attack civilians, they are exquisite in respecting the law of war. On the other side, the Ukro-nazis (or NATOplus in general) couldn't care less: they'll kill, extract organs from children, torture as cruelly as possible, bomb civilian areas, etc. all the time.
You have been deceived by the propaganda of the US Empire.
If Russia wanted to regime change Ukraine all they have to do is level Kiev. But they don't want to do that. They don't want to try to rule or govern Ukraine. They want a sovereign, neutral and neutered Ukraine.
Pepe is absolutely right.....
This is the 3rd strike by Turkiye in disregard to Russia's relation with Syria. Turkiye knows nothing West or Russia can do becuase of the black sea access. I wonder!
Danny am from Pakistan, excellent presentatio. My curiosity about an issue about northwest Pakistan has been addressed
Russia has only 1/4 of its military personnel and only 1/10 of its logistical and weapons material in Ukraine, according to all military experts and yourself Pepe; So why do you reason that Russia is going to have to move troops from the front in Ukraine to Syria?
Thanks Danny for another enlightening program. Your cogency and reflection shine through you carefully and well considered questions. Also the fact that your guests provide
Knowledgeable, contextual and well founded answers.
well
Ukraine off ramp as predicted by Macgregor, Ritter etc
I'm hearing impaired and I'm waiting for a day now for the subtitles to be activated to no avail.
Subtiles no more available on any programmes there used to be. On purpose??🤔.
Pépé when we begin a job without finishing it to the end means that we didn’t do anything?! Believe me many are mocking Russia now and Iran there strategic patience won’t help them in that apocalyptic moment?! All the west plus Turkey and Israel feel that they counterbalance the previous situation?! So sad to see our hopes collapsing
Russia has been comitting many geostrategic evaluation errors, not just now but also in 2015, when they signed the Minsk Accords just when Donbass was clearly winning the war. You should never sign a truce, especially not a lenghty one, when you're winning: it will always be only to the advantage of your enemy.
@@LuisAldamizWest betrayed Putin. Frau Mörkel backed by Us betrayed their own people.
Putin and Russia honor agreements unlike slimy West.
West always cause the sh it.
Great analysis. Thanks gentlemen 👌
Sovereignty is gone. Only the special interests matter, as they control and endeavor to control ever more.
The "stakeholders ". (Nameless one's, to us)?.
Turkiye has 900 kms of continuous land border with Syria.
There are about 5 (3.5 is registered) million Syrian refugees living in Turkiye.
About 1 million ethnic Syrian babies have been born in Turkiye.
What is the length of the borders of Syria with Russia or Iran?
How many Syrian refugees are living in Russia or Iran?
Türkiye had to take in millions of refugees because of the Syrian war. Erdogan has offered Asad several talks but he has turned them down. Asad is not interested in a solution to the conflict. If Turkey is involved in the latest developments, that is completely legitimate, especially since Türkiye, as a direct neighbor of Syria, wants to secure its borders and enable the refugees to return to their homeland. What has Russia done so far to bring peace to the region other than pursuing its own interests? Why is Türkiye, as a neighboring country, not allowed to represent its own interests too??? What is Iran doing in Syria?
Turkey want to steal the gas oil of Syria and annex Syrian land, as Israel and America together.
Assad doesn't trust Erdogan, as he always in fact with site of Israel and America.
I think Putin must treat Erdogan and force to stop him to be an American Israely puppet.
Poor Tukiye. Only defending itself. Never stealing oil in Syria. Never funding terrorism in Syria. Lol
Thanks Danny, thanks Pepe.
Time for Russia payback cancel all travel to Turkey for vacations for 5 years.
was already 1/3 less last year.
Just amazing honestly your channel. I will write article on this
I value this channel; however, the volume changes can be irritating. Sometimes I need to adjust volume levels, especially when Danny starts talking after the guest talks.
Fantastic Pepe.. great host.. !
Long Live Russia!
Long Live One China!
Long Live Iran!
Long Live Syria with Asad as leader!
All nations who practice thought controls on their population and who suppress free thought
Thanks for the laugh. Assad is an idiot who is literally allowing Zionist Kurdish groups who WANT to carve up Syria to create a fake "Kurdistan" thrive in his own country.
Thanks guys. What a world.
Grace, Mercy, Peace from God, our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord.
The geopolitical landscape of the Middle East is getting more complicated snd chaotic. My head is really spinning to understand the reality. So many factions involved in these conflicts. From Gaza to Lebanon to Syria..... Thank you Pepe Escobar for your narratives on the middle east conflicts.
Erdogan called Putin and he did not pick up the call, another thing is that the Turkish diplomat spoke to whoever was in Moscow.
😮😮😮
Ur worse than a pinnoChios mate ‼️
Thank you Danny and Pepe, what I understand BRICS partner status doesn't have decision making or voting power, it only participates in trade agreements and BRICS can maintain Turkey in that status for very long time, for the same reason Turkey was waiting long time to enter into the EU, now being a BRICS partner Erdogan cannot comeback and tell the EU "I decided that the EU is best for me" because now would be more difficult to be accepted.
After the US put tariffs on Chinese products suddenly out of nothing Mexico became a top producer of all kind of things to sell them to the US and replaced China as its main trade partner, now Trump is threatening Mexico with tariffs, what is going to happen is that the US is going to isolate itself commercially from the rest of the world.
Oh yes that Sultan clown will do that. He is spinning like Merry Go Round...
Legends Danny
Thanks for tuning in!
how did syria allow this to happen? didnt they see build up of invading forces? or were also there lots of sleeping cells in Aleppo and they acted in unison? i thought russia was supposed to have satellite reconnaissance of the place? were high up syrian army people involved with invaders? so many questions here! huge blow against those resisting the empire .
Thanks ❤❤❤

Oreshnyk in Idlib? What am i missing?
Jihadist in Ukraine?
@@hasanzeynel1924 They are already there...
yes indeed, yes indeed 😉great show
The US will be told to audit your reserves since it hasn't been done since 1953.
Pepe didn't study well. There are many groups acting together in Syria right now. It seemed strange to me that he only mentioned HTŞ. You should also see that the inner battle has nothing to do with bricks.
