Understanding Syria's Assad family

[ovidiuc]

the way she talks is sooo superficial and annoying I had to stop after 10 seconds. I will go to wikipedia to learn about Assad.

[LSTWTF]

What a terrible piece of journalism, thank you CNN for wasting my time.

The "Ruthless " brother seems tame compared to the rebels that behead their opposition.

I literally am reading a 400 page biography on Hafez Al-Assad written by Patrick Seale. He spent a lot of time w/the family while writing it and goes in depth to their family history. There’s plenty of credible information on them and Syrian politics she just didn’t take the time to do it lmfao

"They're, kinda Soprano-like" I stopped taking it serious after that comment

عائلة الأسد 🦁 هي الأفضل ، هي من بنت سورية 🇸🇾❤

[sweetacapella]

they're not very secretive, you know they used to walk on the streets in syria without security, go to restaurants and talk to people, name me one other president who does that

[slicbro]

The woman that did the supposed research on the Assad's sounds like a complete airhead. First of all, if this is all her research has bright to light, something that we can easily find out on Wikipedia, she should just get out of journalism. Second, her voice is just annoying.

My God the journalist has not the most dynamic speech. The two first “you know” killed me

[zayn]

I hate those people who says alassad family is bad and they never visited syria .. Ask syrians about what happening in syria dont check the fake news

[jamminjonathan]

I'm a American and like Assad family...I hope they can make Syria great agian. Rebuild Syria...please protect the people. And stop the killings.

[LoomisTook]

Wow, what an amazingly shallow amount of research, Nicole Dow. There's almost nothing in there.

[celloswiss]

Can't stand that nitwit's voice. None of these "facts" are new to anybody who follows Syrian politics. Where's the news? Where's the backgrounder?

[kathrynfairbanks]

There is no secret. Both Bashar and his wife were educated in Europe. Democratically elected president and completely loving president.

[rr]

" dug deep " that's litrlally what's on wikipedia..

[paulczar]

She has vocal fry like none other. Very froggy

[guntherfeist]

This interview seems to be rather pleonastic. The presidential family ist powerful. influential, rich. What else? You don´t no investigations to find this out.

The best book about Hafez al-Asad is 'Asad - The Struggle for the Middle East' by Patrick Seale, published 1988 with a revised edition in 1994. Patrick Seale interviewed Asad and two of his children. You learn all about Hafez al-Asad's life and rise to power from Seale who knew him well. Not a secret.

I'm here because of 08 December 2024

Thats a funny description;
POWERFUL and SECRETIVE
Lets see who equally fits the description
1) British Monarchy
2) White house and Pentagon
3) Rothschild family
4) Israeli govt.

This is very naive discussion undertaken being undertaken by even more such people.
