  1. Thank God that’s not the pride flag I’m seeing

  2. If Syria President Assad steps down who are we going to sell the weapons to over in Syria. 8 million Muslim refugees already left Syria to get away from president Assad. Does that mean they can go back to their homes? The homes president Assad bombed! President Assad bombed their houses and schools and hospitals. I think it's time America helped the civilians in Syria and quit helping president Assad

  3. Is that a SU-35 I hear….

  4. This isn’t the only regime that is or needs to fall. All countries are falling apart economically politically and socially. It is becoming normal and this is not normal.

  5. Let's see if we can actually help them this time instead of the absolute disaster that Obama created.

  6. The Syrian Civil War is so close to ending, if the US and Turkey withdraw, then the War will end. Also these groups protesting must be a new group based on those flags I have never seen before.

  7. My prayers are for the Syrian people.

  8. How can this *** Hagar be so entitled, and proudly saying that she was leading initiatives to isolate Syria in the beginning. After all that happened how can those people still show their faces to the media? How can they talk about violence while the US is clearly the most violent country in the past few decades?

  9. They're protesting against the economic crisis, caused by American sanctions. They're not calling for the ending of the Assad regime ffs

  10. That's fake protest video, FAKE AF😂😂😂😂😂

  11. PROPAGANDA. U.S NEEDS WORRY ABOUT OUR OWN MOB SYNDICATE MOST CALL GOV,NOT SYRIAS. YALL HAVE TRIED OVERTHROW HIM FOR YEARS. ENOUGH OF YOU TERRORISTS WAR CRIMINALS

  12. Assad messed up when he hooked his wagon to the falling star that is Vladimir Putin!

  13. Pure propaganda.

    It’s the US that’s ruin Syria, not Assad.

  14. considering this is NATO's fault and hilary for getting chemical weapons to the nation, i highly doubt this entire video.

  15. Safety in numbers. 22.9 million against 1 if you choose it.

  16. It's won't success because Syria got Putin support.

  17. what looks like the pride flag is actually the flag of the Druze ethno religious group ,

  18. Assad is a toxic lying hypocrite not suppressing if he don’t last much longer,as heads roll against corrupt police acting for a dictatorship

  19. assad saved his country from isis who started isis it was not assad venture a guess

  20. Assad is a useless worthless leader he needs to go

  21. TAPAN EL MEGA FRAUDE DE LAS PENSIONES EN ESPAÑA EL ROBO DEL SIGLO ADEMAS DE ESTE GENOCIDIO TAPADO HOY TAMBIEN CON MILES DE MUERTOS ASESINADOS.

  22. Then stop stealing their oil
