This event was wrapped in a lot of mystery at the time. Thanks for telling the story. BTW, The Israeli aircraft were F-15 I (EYE) for Israel, not F-151. #AirplaneNerd
Impressive video! Quick correction, while these events were occurring, Erdogan was the prime minister of Turkey, not the president. He became president in 2014.
Decades before, he's the commander who kidnapped Adolf eichmann half way around the world and brought him silently to be trialed. 007 is Mr bean next to him.
Good video,Yea I never got this comparisons of Mossad with CIA and Mi6,Aman is the main agency in Israel and been like that since more or less Israeli founding,it has the most people and has the largest influance and it works directly from the military so it gets one of the best conscripts/officers all the time from the larger population,Shabak(Shin Bet)is also elite mainly focused on homeland and Palestinians areas(which are big part of Israeli security concerns)and it mainly connected to the police/border police it is also very very big and potent organization,Mossad from my understanding is more the special forces very small but probably the highest trained,none of those are like CIA and MI6,diffrent countries need diffrent organization.
I also feel the need to point out that the primary source for all their Intel are Arabs ratting out every single mother's son from Morocco to Indonesia for a chunk of change. They're the opposite of the stereotypical Mafioso who refuses to talk even as they're dangling him off a bridge.
Thank you for this explanation. Interesting to think that having Palestinians as an internal "evil empire" supports a lot of organizations, a lot of jobs...
@@RogerLewis-ey2tt Palestinians "earned" everything and more on thier constant attempts to genocide the Jews of Israel,this is not "jobs" or whatever bullshit you said.
I like what you said at the end. Bush’s first term was when I was in highschool. I remember thinking he was a buffoon who just wanted to finish his daddy’s dispute with Saddam. It often felt like he was a clown trying to make the SNL writers’ job easier. Hearing about what happened behind the scenes with this event gives a different outlook. The careful discussions don’t sound like the Will Farrell caricature I thought he was. He made some very big mistakes; but unlike most people in such high positions, it sounds like he didn’t refuse to learn from them.
W had a personal humility that made him well suited to being President. He could be stubborn. He wasn't a genius. But he was willing to listen and learn. He also didn't automatically view anyone who disagreed with him as an enemy. You could do a lot worse in a President, cough (trump) cough.
@@therealuncleowen2588 damn you just had to bring up trump? as far as i can tell literally every president has seen the other as a enemy.... ever seen a election debate? they certainly don't seem like friends.. bidden divides the country just as much as trump sadly did.... biden calls out "maga supporters" every fucking speech lmao
He did learn from mistakes, but this is a bit like "I had a crash while driving drunk, so I decided to stop smoking in the car to mitigate future damage."
Neocons/Zionists ran rings around Bush and bent him entirely to their will. Scratch the surface and most things wrong in modern America can be directly attributed to the jew, who has infected the upper echelons of politics and defense and owns most of the media. Ably aided by rats like chenyne and Rumsfeld who only care about money. Bush senior had more sense or better advisors than to do the jews bidding.
the reason the ground invasion went very bad in the second lebnon war was at the time the commander and chief of the Israeli army was from the Air Force and literally had no idea what to do
More specifically he thought the war could be won from the air, which led him to neglect the army, by the time a ground invasion was ordered, it was very low scaled, it started out with small scale raids into border towns after which the forces would withdraw back to Israel, when this wasn't effective, the invasion was enlarged but by this time Hezb had more than enough time to prepare and foreseen where the IDF would choose to attack from. There were also a lot of logistical issues and such.
Bashar al-Assad is not an optometrist. He was trained as a medical doctor at Damascus University and has postgraduate training in ophthalmology in London.
Kinda stupid to admire Bush when his pretext for war was false. Not a fan of Hussein or his ideology but Bush starting the war on terror was extremely reckless and shrugging it off after by saying he learned from his mistakes is kinda foolish.
My takeaway wasn't that this vindicated bush of his mistakes, nor did it come off to me that the host was excusing him for them, but that his administration recognized those mistakes and made attempts to not repeat them (at least in this case). The host summed it up well at the end, I've always heard nothing about bush except his terrible, terrible mistakes, so its interesting to hear about something that implies lessons were learned.
Even nuclear power plants that are close to rivers have cooling towers. This story is NOT spot on. I can think of the one in SW WA state that has cooling towers and is right next to a river. Three Mile Island has cooling towers and is right on a river. You need water,,,PERIOD!
Do the hand written notes indicate paranoia or a realistic and smart approach? After years of people getting hacked, I'd say he was spot on smart about communicating.
@@mightymo-ij9pz Kikeroaches aren't the only ones entitled to the power of the atom, no matter what their chutzpah states. If you don't like that, you can slob on eloheinu's micropeenu.
Bashar was not in an English Medical school when his brother died he was a registrar (the English equivalent of an American resident) at Moorfields studying to be an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) not optometrist (not a medical doctor) who only prescribes glasses.
Ha ash and Arafat have interesting CVs as well. Habash studied ophthalmology as well as Bashar. Bashar gave a précis on Near Eastern political affairs and Syria’s future at a conference in Washington, DC. I was impressed with his manner, reasoning, and analysis. Definitely a survivor and a person to gauge carefully.
Great video. Also, I totally agree with your take on Bush. I used to believe what’s been said in the media but at some point I started getting the feeling that the narrative didn’t actually add up so I read up on it and I arrived at basically the same conclusion to yours.
Of course it doesn’t add up. Bush combated Islamic fundamentalist extremism by toppling or attempting to topple secular Arab governments in Iraq, Syria and Libya. Those governments were/are an asset against Al-Qaeda and ISIS. They are ideological opposes. Yet some how the American public continues to buy into this nonsense.
Two points- The aircraft were launched just after midnight. I know this because I heard them take off. Second- Bush took his duty seriously, despite not being the sharpest tool in the shed. His biggest problems were Rumsfeld and Cheney.
Imagine a murderous regime such as Assad`s with nuclear weapons. The first people who should thank Israel are the Syrian people. Thanks for telling the truth and sticking to the real details!
Thank the Israelis whom bombs Syria for using were gonna white phosphorus when they used on Palestinian protesters or giving medical aid to syrian rebels links to all qaeda? The Israelis was going to nuke Egypt if they lost the war or when they going to blow up Baghdad over scud missiles that isn't murderous to you?
@@m.dthedemon4076 israel is not a threat to the current world. Unfortunately cant say the same for all the terror outfits masquerading as the prophets mujhaheeds and murdering random people in the name of their imaginary sky daddy.
Syrian here, both Israel and Assad are war criminals and both should be put on trail in-front of the international community to expose their ugly crimes!
I actually fell into the rabbithole of Bush being either incompetant or evil, but not anymore, thanks for this awesome video, it also explains better why my country did these thing...
This is definitely one of the moments of the bush regime that I respect heavily. They made mistakes but walked with caution and understanding after, and that is what a mature administration is supposed to do.
@NH-bn8xn yeah.... definitely just say oops we're sorry for committing a crime that should put most of our country's leaders on an international trial, caused massive casualties and showed once again our ugly face to the world and that we'll never do it again while having your fingers crossed behind your back. Time is running out, we might get a worse bully but your time as the bully is ending. Maybe Europe can finally wake the fuck up and we can finally mind our own business without being your lackeys and helping other disgusting countries. But the most important thing I hope Americans one day will make their corrupt leaders pay for what they did to the rest of the world
I think the bush administration was not good, and it was incompetent early on. it did gain some competence later on. But I yearn for the days when Bush was the leader of the Republicans. He was sane and had morals, which is something I can't say about modern Republican leadership.
In all seriousness, as much as people hate Trump it’s now accepted, thanks to the Biden administration, that his fiscal policies worked. Also, when he was laughed at during a speech in Europe when he warned about dependence on Russian natural gas, it proved to be he was correct. He also got other NATO countries to start committing financially. He’s the first President since Carter not to start any foreign wars and his policy at the border was much stronger than administrations before and after him. So when you include Trump in the video of Presidents pushing forward because they were right and everyone else was wrong, can you please explain your stance on this. I’m genuinely curious why you would include him.
Hi like your segments but allow me to comment about a book that appears in the frame with swasstica the Nazi's symbol...I my self have a lot of books about the second world war but I always cover the Nazi's symbol. I have to say it bothers me....
Your take on Bush is incredibly insulting to millions of Iraqis who suffered due to the invasion. And you want to chalk it off as an "Oopsie" and a "Learning experience"? You should be advocating for Bush to be put infront of a judge for war crimes for god's sake.
He didn't "chalk it off". He just made the point that Bush went to great legths to not repeat the suffering on yet another country. This in no way absolves him of responsibility for what happened to Iraq.
Most of the misery inflicted on Iraq's population was by insurgents who crossed the Syrian and Iran borders to enact terrorism. But you're right, that is the US's fault. The troop surge from 2006 should've been launched in 2004 before the new Iraq government disbanded the Iraqi army.
Yeah, because they’d be so much better off if Saddam was still alive and in power 🙄😒 cold diarrhea of a hot take. Something tells me that you probably weren’t alive in 2001 or don’t remember anything that transpired between then and ‘03.
Paranoid,conspiracy theorists, sounds like he was right on.Evedyone knows if you dont go analog then someone is listening to you to me.Tbey know I wrote this.
the breaks to see you talking in the middle of sections is not helpful. it's fine at start and end, but it is so jarring at the "act" breaks. sheeeit, you could even just use a still photo. just a note. great video otherwise, per usual < 3
Yeah but when your at that level you dont get the luxuryb of making mistakes bush decisions to go into iraq has us still heavily involved in the country
Cool video, would love to see more. But like the comment I left on the Lebanon video, there is a clear bias here. You say Israel was "forced" into a month long war in Lebanon, but the kidnapping that triggered it was not an uncommon event at the time, in fact, in the early 2000s there were plenty of skirmishes and kidnappings occurring. The Israeli response in 2006 was the most unusual thing about the event. Israel was not "forced" into a month-long invasion, they chose to use the recent kidnapping as justification for an invasion.
@JamesMacPherson slight counter point, these captured soldiers where not always returned and at times they would simply kidnap soldiers as well as civilians for information rather then trade. after these individuals where no longer of use they where often likely killed since a lot of them are still MIA. It can be easily deduced from this point that in an attempt to stop both soldiers as well civilian kidnapping and likely toture from taking place would mandate a military response.
Lol so true also they literally committed war crimes I mean I was in bchamoun suburb of Beirut at the time and I physically witnessed cluster munitions going off in my neighborhood taking down apartment building after apartment building. We were so close to getting hit, I’m so lucky to still be here
Lets all take the time to say this dude should just quit calling himself historian if he call the invasipn of iraq a weapon of mass destruction reason this dude is full of S
Really? Because it's really hard to believe considering Israel's ties with America, all the while China is Iran's most significant partner. Makes no sense.
"...why israel always do after atacks to syria after six days war, why they employ arabia's soldiers to israel army; isn't it better to have dinyinggunservice muslims
