Summary

I guess the intense emotions swirling around are a mixture of elation that Assad is deposed and despondency that the Axis of Resistance and the state of the Palestinian cause look to be in a pretty bleak state right now. Things looked like they were going well in terms of the Israeli state destroying itself and the US losing massive influence in the Region, and then within a week all this pressure that was building got released and the entire situation has taken a 180.

Literally the Empire Strikes back, which you know happens before the fall. Let's talk about the new Geopolitical reality.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to or welcome back to Colonial Outcast, the anti-imperials podcast.
0:07.0	It's been around for almost 11 months, definitely trying to get to 50,000 subscribers by the anniversary in February since humans have a fixation with certain numerical increments.
0:18.6	So like share, subscribe. If you're picking up what we're putting down,
0:22.3	we're talking about Syria today, so you might not be. But we're just glad you're here. We're
0:28.3	joined again after two weeks by Alina Xenophantos, geopolitical analyst, coming to us now, this time,
0:37.2	from foggy Londontown. Thanks so much.
0:39.3	Yeah, thank you. Very accurate description. Foggy London town is the

0:56.6	So, okay, first of all, to our patrons, I'm sorry we missed the live Q&A and our comedic episode last Friday.
1:02.5	We're going to do two of those this week.
1:04.4	Starting with tonight, we're going to be talking about all the insane conspiracy theories going around about the New Jersey drones,

1:24.2	for that one tonight. But we are talking about Syria. It's kind of like
1:28.3	my fault that we neglected the Patreon. Last week, we did two episodes on Syria with guests who had
1:33.8	varying takes on the fall of Assad. Both are journalists with a lot of experience, who I do respect.
1:39.3	One had a more liberation-based hopeful take, which I will always platform, but I don't really see how it happens.
1:46.9	And one last Thursday with Robert Nalekesh, a journalist from Mint Press with a ton of contacts
1:51.8	and his experience in the region. And we kind of went through all the players in Syria,
1:56.4	the Arab states who don't want the new Syrian revolution. If you want to call it that to
