Holly DagresGUEST
I'm a little skeptic- skeptical of that number, but I've heard the diaspora cite similar numbers, but I think it's safe to say around the seven thousand plus, and this was unprecedented.
Holly DagresGUEST
Um, even in Syria during the first year of the Syrian Civil War, we didn't see that many dead.
Holly DagresGUEST
And so...
Holly DagresGUEST
And, um, this-- In, in that moment, we also heard President Donald Trump say, "Help is on the way, take over your institutions." And we even saw Iranian protesters before the massacre actually video themselves and s- actually change the names of streets to Trump Street because they genuinely believed that the president could do something to help the protesters.
Curtis McGiffinHOST
The Iran-Iraq War, 700,000 killed.
Curtis McGiffinHOST
Syrian Civil War, 600,000 killed.
Curtis McGiffinHOST
Just the Colombian conflicts with drug cartels from 1964 to present, almost half a million killed.
Curtis McGiffinHOST
Drug cartels in Mexico, 400,000.
James PeatHOST
The Syrian population is estimated between 300,000 and a million.
James PeatHOST
Before the Civil War in 2011, there were between 1.5 and 2.5 million.
James PeatHOST
So at that stage, it was 10% of the population.
James PeatHOST
It's one less now that we've got Brother Josiah Diamond here.
Holly DagresGUEST
And this was unprecedented.

Josh BakerHOST
But that proximity gives him access to stories few other journalists have, and it gets him noticed by major news organizations.
Josh BakerHOST
So much so that he's now being interviewed for his analysis on the Syrian Civil War, a conflict he was unfamiliar with just a few weeks ago.
speaker_6ADVERTISER
Austin Tice has been there recently.
speaker_6ADVERTISER
He's a photojournalist, a former Marine.
Iain BurnsHOST
If it was that, then everybody would want it.
Iain BurnsHOST
It's also accepting people who arrived in Germany seven years ago, eight years ago, something like that, got German citizenship, uh, and, uh, came from the Syrian Civil War, where they sawed off children's heads, and there are pictures and videos of that, and everybody knows that they did that.
Iain BurnsHOST
But they live in Hamburg, and now they think, "You know what? I think I'll go and live in Toronto.
Iain BurnsHOST
I think I'll go practice my English in Toronto." Then all of a sudden, they're in Toronto, and you just have to, you just have to deal with that.
PaulHOST
Grasimov, again, is someone with actual qualifications.
PaulHOST
I mean, you can see here, this is somebody who fought as an officer in the Second Chechen War, the Syrian Civil War, obviously, the war in Donbass, the 2022 invasion, including at one point being reportedly wounded in Izum.
PaulHOST
Right? Again...
PaulHOST
This is someone with an active duty senior military career that really, again, conducted real combat operations and became a director, again, of the Far East Military District and Main Combat Training Directorate.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Um, and they have a long history with working with Wahhabis.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, the, I wanna mention Wahhabis a bit more because I think, um, I think that, uh, you know, you may have encountered some of these individuals that were basically on the side of Al-Qaeda in the Syrian Civil War.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, you would have, uh, Dili Hussein, uh, Hassan Shilbi, Mohammed Hijab.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Those three individuals are 100% part of that, uh, MI5, MI6, uh, push to, uh, overthrow Assad on behalf of the CIA and Israel.
Eric EricksonHOST
It wasn't rigged stuff, by the way.
Eric EricksonHOST
In fact, there are a lot of speculation today that, that the chemical weapons that the Syrians used on their people in the Syrian Civil War were the ones that they got from Iraq that Saddam Hussein had moved there.
Eric EricksonHOST
It's, it's, it's cheap these days for the, the, the herd on the right to suddenly blame the Bushies.
Eric EricksonHOST
These are the same people who cheered on the Bushies in the, the early 2000s.
speaker_1HOST
Let's trace the mechanism of how that actually happens.
speaker_1HOST
You start a decade ago with the Syrian Civil War.
speaker_1HOST
You had an al-Qaeda affiliate, Jabhat al-Nusra, alongside ISIS, driving catastrophic violence.
speaker_0HOST
Awful violence.
