Launched by Kevork Almassian in January 2017, Syriana Analysis is an independent news and analysis platform free from any political or corporate funding, sponsorship or association.
Bashar al-Assad is the current leader of Syria. He has been in power since the year 2000. His father, Hafez al-Assad, was the leader before him, so Bashar took over when his father died.
Kevork believes that Tucker Carlson should interview him because he (Tucker) has a large audience and that he would be fair. Some possible talking points might be as follows.
- War crimes in Syria: There are numerous accusations against the Syrian government and President Bashar al-Assad for alleged war crimes.
- Chemical attacks in Syria: There have been several alleged chemical attacks in Syria, each with its own circumstances and context.
- The origins of ISIS and Al-Qaeda: It would be interesting to hear Assad’s perspective on the origins of these terrorist organisations, especially considering former U.S. President Donald Trump‘s accusation that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama created ISIS.
- The presence of U.S. and Russian forces in Syria: The legality and purpose of these foreign forces in Syria is a contentious issue. It’s worth discussing the difference between the presence of U.S. forces, which are not invited by the Syrian government, and Russian forces, which are.
- Relations with Israel: The animosity between Assad and Israel is well-known. It would be enlightening to hear Assad’s perspective on why Israel wants to remove him and why they sided with the so-called rebels.
- Wokeism: Syria has a strong position on wokeism (neoliberalism). Assad has spoken about how wokeism aims to destroy national identities, borders, and sovereignties.
As a reminder, Tucker Carlson left Fox News in April 2023.
He is an American conservative political commentator, journalist, and television personality. It’s safe to say that he is one of the most prolific in history.
