Syria Breakdown: What Led Them to This?
By Peter Zeihan
In these video clips, Peter Zeihan tracks the swift collapse of the Syrian regime, from the initial capture of Aleppo by opposition forces through the fall of Damascus. Zeihan discusses how the withdrawal of Russian and Iranian support led to the sudden end of Assad’s rule—and what this dramatic shift means for the future of Syria and the broader Middle East. He also explores Turkey’s unique position in this crisis, as a capable regional power that must balance its interests in Syria with challenges across multiple other strategic frontiers.
