Why Turkey is Preparing to Invade Syria (Again)

This will be the final video I’m releasing in 2022. Thank you to everyone who joined and watched my content this year! This has been the most turbulent year for international relations since 1989, and next year doesn’t show many signs of changing. If you’d like to stay more up to date on what’s going on in our world, consider checking out my Modern Conflicts series on Nebula, the latest episode of which covers the civil wars in Libya. It’s only $11.79 a year here: curiositystream.com/?coupon=reallifelore

Japan doesn't involve any war, but Toyota is not limited to that.

26:06 one of the most devastating and complicated situations in the world, but seeing the the US and Iran on the same side against Israel and France is always so unfathomable that all I could do was laugh. Foreign affairs is endlessly messy.

14:52 i remember how much we as Turkey tried to buy patriot air defence systems and how hard usa tried to not sell back in 2010-12 era. we needed the air defence system more than every other nation since there are wars waging on our north, east and south sides. america just did not sell it and and this led us buying s400. even trump admitted that.

Wow, just stumbeled upon this channel / video, what a great content creater you are ! I'm a new fan, hoping for more interesting vids ! Keep it up 💪

Wow this one had a lot of geopolitics that lie outside the main media’s scope. Very interested to see how tight a game is being played in Syria by Turkey and Russia

What a complicated mess! The great thing about this program is that it explains the motivations of countries allying with different groups which is something news agencies are clueless about or doesn’t make a good sound bite for them.

3:35 "who pay taxes and contribute to the economy" made me burst out laughing, and anyone from Turkey will understand why :D

This is some extremely good storytelling, well done.

I know there’s so much more to learn about the situation in the Middle East but you have given me more clear information than the news has for the past 10 years

Can't say if it's because I am Turkish and already know a lot about all these topics or is it because you explained it so clearly but I felt like this was so well explained and I never felt it's too complicated to understand. Good job

Turkey didn't "blamed" them, PKK OWNED the attack and declared that they did it.... What a way of explaining from the first second. What a mess.

Watching this after the devastating earthquake and wonder how much this event has changed this ambition

That one passed me by in the news. Thanks for shedding a light on this topic.

Can’t wait for the nebula content to hit YouTube at some point

Thank you, as a Turk it was nice to see an objective and well compositioned video about the subject. We are in the middle of the selections and all our people are quite distressed at the moment, including me. Mostly because of the state of economy, refugee problem, terrorist organisations... But I believe neither of the presidents could make it any better. I stopped trusting politicians long time ago. Also, to clarify, no. We don't declare a war against Kurdish people, we declare war to terrorist acts. If you "could" call it a war, of course. We fought together for this land back in 1920s, altogether as Turkish, Kurdish, Laz, Circassians and more... We won't divide our land that we all fought for. So stop saying stuff like "booho give their lands back" when us Turkish and Kurdish people clearly fought side by side to protect our borders and country.

As a Syrian, all I can say is that this is probably one of the most complicated wars/political issue in history, its all literally a chess game.

Well done. Thank You. 🌍

I naturally do know all this as a syrian , but I would never have made such a simple straight forward video its really nice simple pictures videos and transitions and really well written good job and thank you!

The sheer complexity of the geopolitical entangle in the Syrian territory and the tense and carefully balanced relationship between Turkey and Russia is absolutely astounding. I don't know how I'd even begin to understand a fraction of what's happening, had I researched it on my own. But can I commend RLL for making such a ridiculously complex topic actually so accessible??? I pride myself in having a decently easy time in understanding complex geopolitical conflicts, but this is the first time I actually felt like, without this video, I would've been completely lost. The video is so amazingly well structured and it introduced every idea not a second later than it was needed so consistently, that I was able to follow a half an hour long essay on a multi state, multi ethnic, multi decade long, multi conflict web of war and geopolitics like it was nothing. Even beginning to untangle this myself would've been absolutely momentous. This is not just knowing about the topic. There are so many ideas that are mutually exclusive here and that they wiuldn't make sense if they were introduced in the wrong order. By starting with the motivations of the biggest players, the Turkish government and the Kurdish nation, RLL managed to construct a very cohesive and consistent narrative that still managed to convey the sheer depth and complexity of the topic. That takes very real writing skill and, up until this point, I was never able to see it. This video outright amazed me. It has got to have been one of the best geopolitics video I've seen.
