From the transcript
Syria, 2024. It's a bombed-out husk of a nation that once was a burial ground for everything from democratic revolution to a once-strong autocracy to the ambitions and potential of the Syrian nation itself.
The Syrian Civil War has been a ruinous affair, with well over half a million people, hundreds of towns and cities, and even a once stable international order all lying fallen in its wake.
One, one of the defining conflicts of the 21st century, matched only by America 's war on terror, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the sieving cold war between Israel, Iran and all the many proxies in the middle, yet even compared to all of the rest.
