In this documentary, Syriana Analysis explores the hidden history of proxy warfare and the controversial strategies used to influence conflicts from Afghanistan to the modern-day crisis in Ukraine. We examine the evolution of "contract armies" and the long-term consequences of covert operations.
In this video, we uncover:
- The Origins of Proxy Warfare: How the 1970s conflict in Afghanistan set the stage for decades of covert intervention.
- Operation Timber Sycamore: An in-depth look at one of the costliest operations in history and its impact on the Syrian conflict.
- The "Contract Army" Theory: Analyzing expert insights from Professor Michael Hudson and Scott Ritter on the use of non-conventional forces.
- Geopolitical Consequences: Why these strategies are often shrouded in secrecy and what they mean for the future of international relations.
Featuring archival footage and expert testimony, we piece together a narrative that challenges the official story of global "terror" and examines the geopolitical tools used by major powers.
