Summary

For at least 14 years the US and its Western allies have been actively engaged in overthrowing Syria's Bashar al-Assad. Opponents of the "regime change" plotters warned that Syria would become another Libya, rocked with murderous sectarian violence, if they succeeded. In December Assad was finally overthrown by a former senior al-Qaeda leader, as western governments cheered. Sectarian violence commenced. Thousands of religious and ethnic minorities have been slaughtered. Geopolitical analyst Kevork Almassian joins today's Liberty Report to explain how we got to this point, who are the main players, and what we might expect.

0:55.0	We don't want to get too far into the weeds, but, you know, I remember from back in 2011
1:01.0	understanding what the U.S. was trying to do with its allies to overthrow Assad in the context of the so-called Arab Spring.
1:10.0	At the time, I probably expended, you know, 100,000 words on what a phony the Arab Spring was.

1:45.0	So in 2011, I didn't have your wisdom and I didn't have your knowledge.
1:50.6	So I would like to say that at the beginning, I was caught with the hype.
