Sure. I'm going to have to go back in time just a little bit. So if we go back to November 2021, that is the time basically the planning started for the Syrian blitzkrieg. How it all came together, actually, is one of our Benghazi plotters, the one I talk about all the time, Musa bin Ali, him and Abu Muhammad al-Jalani, the current president of Syria, were running a lot of...

terror line facilitation networks in the Syria. They've been doing this for well over a decade. They run a really big terrorist camp in Libya, south of Misrata. And so they got together and basically decided, let's, you know, pull in al Qaeda and the Taliban, you know, let's do in Syria what happened in Afghanistan, right?

So it was November of 2021 when Abu Jilani came to Afghanistan and he sat down with Musa Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is the Minister of Interior of Afghanistan, and Mullah Yacoub, who is the Minister of Defense of Afghanistan, right? And they came up with this plot and planning to do the Syrian blitzkrieg. So as you can imagine, Julani didn't have enough fighters to take all of Syria by himself.

So the plan they came up with is the Taliban said, okay, we'll give you training camps in Nangarhar province, right? You can come here and safely train because at the time, Julani's camps were outside of Al-Tanf military base in Syria and they were being bombed. and they couldn't safely train there. So they moved a lot of their training to Afghanistan, but it wasn't enough.

So Al-Qaeda, and specifically Hamza bin Laden, said, hey, we'll train a certain number of fighters for you. What do you need? And Joulani said, I need 10,000 fighters. So for those couple years, Al-Qaeda then trained an additional 10,000 fighters inside of Afghanistan on top of what Joulani was sending, okay? So then they all go to Syria, and as we saw two years later...

Three years later, November 2024, the Syrian Blitzkrieg happened and Joulani took over. Now, when Joulani took over, oddly, the press and the American diplomats and we saw the EU and the UN all leaned in and they're like, oh, this is bringing democracy to Syria. Oh, he's going to have an inclusive government. Same language we heard in Afghanistan.

Well, the intention is to make Syria just like Afghanistan, to make it an Islamic caliphate. So... Jalani plans to ethnically cleanse the Christians, the Alawites, the Kurds, etc., because that is the plan to bring in the Islamic Caliphate, just like the Taliban has been ethnically cleansing, you know, obviously people from Panjshir, etc.
