 Why does Syria matter far beyond the Middle East — and what does it reveal about how modern global conflicts actually begin? In this episode of The David Rutherford Show, David sits down with Middle East analyst Kevork Almassian,  @SyrianaAnalysis  Syrian-born political commentator who lived through the war, lost family to jihadist violence, and was forced into exile. Kevork breaks down how Syria became a testing ground for proxy warfare, covert operations, sanctions, and information control — and why these tactics are now shaping conflicts around the world. This conversation goes beyond headlines and media narratives to examine how global powers really compete today, why Syria was never just a civil war, and what lessons governments have already learned from its collapse. If you want to understand how modern conflicts start — quietly, indirectly, and at enormous human cost — this episode is essential.
