Around a month ago, I found a video of Jeffery Sachs talking about foreign countries involving themselves in the situation in Syria, he talked specifically about Timber Sycamore and American and British support in terms of money, training and resources.

I wanted to check the comments because I’ve never seen Timber Sycamore talked about in the Arab audiences, let alone in the post Assad Syria, the video was taken down not long after it got uploaded, then I knew why they did it.

I saw other posts and TikToks talking about it, I’ve seen many people who are zealously defending and supporting Sharaa and neo “Umayyads” saying that these are all lies and Assad was an agent of the U.S. and mossad, that “even they acknowledged that he’s their man” and that the opposition ultimately won in the end solely based on (god was on their side) and all that talk. All of this makes me wonder, do some Syrians seriously don’t know much about the civil war or do they read and listen to what they want to hear.

I’ve always been against tyrants, corruption, nepotism, sectarianism, cronyism, secret police state, cruelty, brutality and all other authoritarian and despotic forms of rule all of which Assad did, so I never was a fan of him, but I don’t deny either that all the powers of the world involved themselves, like Russia and iran sent military aid and support to Assad, there was the same done to the opposition.

Ignorance and censorship
