Whenever I see interviews like these, it makes me wonder about the spin that is put on this war. From all sides, but in particular western media. I think the fact that these interviews don't show on western news networks is a sign of how distorted this whole situation is.
A good test of this is when a serious incident occurs in Syria, try and watch across all news networks such as CNN, RT, ALJAZEERA or even SANA (Syrian Arab News Network).
In a world where we are bombarded with 2hr filter information telling us what is true and what is not. How can we ever expect people to know what's real?
I have been following these things for years now. I always go to the source. Listen to the heads of the country. They are the ones responsible in a sense. Putin can do a 3hr to 4hr phone in without a teleprompter. Obama and Trump cant last 5 minutes. With the case of Syria I truly do believe Assad is in the right. The US is manipulating the world for a greater Israel from the evidence I have seen.
