1:44:35Now PlayingSneako tried to understand Syria. Instead, he walked into one of the most bitter political arguments in the Arab and Muslim world.
After questioning Syria’s new leadership, Sneako hosted Syrian Girl (Partisan Girl), Hassan Shibly and Daniel Haqiqatjou — three voices with sharply different views of Bashar al-Assad, Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly Abu Mohammad al-Jolani), Israel, the CIA, Islam and the Syrian war.
Was Jolani part of a Western-backed regime-change project — or the man who liberated Syria from Assad?
Was Assad’s government authoritarian but fundamentally secular, or actively hostile to Sunni Islam?
Did Assad’s removal advance the Palestinian cause — or leave Israel strategically stronger?
And after fourteen years of war, who really won Syria?
In this special Monday Geopolitics, Kevork Almassian reacts to key moments from Sneako’s interviews and gives his own account of the Syrian war, Jolani’s rise, Western intelligence involvement, Israel’s role, sectarian politics and the consequences of Assad’s fall.
The show examines Timber Sycamore, Camp Bucca, Syria’s abandoned nuclear program, the claim that Jolani was a CIA asset, Hassan Shibly’s criticism of religious restrictions under Assad, Syrian Girl’s argument about Western intelligence ties, and Daniel Haqiqatjou’s suspicions about Jolani’s rapid rehabilitation by Western and pro-Israel institutions.
The claim that Jolani was literally a CIA asset remains disputed. The program examines the evidence and arguments rather than treating a formal intelligence relationship as independently established fact.
The larger question is not simply whether Assad was good or bad. It is whether the fall of an authoritarian government can automatically be called liberation if the resulting order leaves foreign powers with greater influence over the country.
