I'm John Bachelor with my good colleague. That is MacArthur American Greatness. And Malcolm

Kohnlan is here. And we touch upon Syria, darkness visible. Al-Sharra Al-Jalani is said to be the

president for five years, named himself. He's the one vote. At the same time, there are

reports that Reuters is reporting that

Syrian economy, thanks to the lifting of sanctions, can grow 1% in 2025. At the same time,

is an Al-Qudsist associated terror cell apprehended by the IDF. That's a headline. So Malcolm,

it's a tale of two non-transparent countries.

Is it growing or is it just holding back for the moment because it's re-arming?

It's a good question.

And if you ask different people inside Syria, you will get different answers.

The minorities there are very concerned.

U.S. and Israel and Syria are having so forth,

they've called meaningful talks about how to calm things along the border. It is not in the interest

of Syria to have a confrontation. It's certainly not of Al-Shaara who has put on a suit,

but we know that the terrorist operators still work there.

You know, they killed 1,500 alloys.

They killed.

They ambushed the Druze.

They carried out other terrorist attacks.

And their internal security operation is very limited.

America wants Syria to join the Abraham Accords.

And I think that that's a step away from where they are right now.
