Aemon: 叙利亚内战处于休战状态，巴沙尔·阿萨德政府控制约三分之二的领土，伊朗、俄罗斯与其共存；库尔德人控制五分之一的领土，为美国势力范围；土耳其及其代理的圣战组织控制其余地区。叙利亚是运作良好的失败国家，其现状反映了长期以来的地缘政治竞争和社会分裂。 Thomas: 叙利亚的现代民族国家建设道路充满冲突，可以从文明冲突的角度来理解。叙利亚长期以来是地缘政治竞争的焦点，其内部矛盾与西方现代化与伊斯兰传统的冲突有关。 Thomas: 艾森豪威尔主义是美国试图阻止苏联在中东影响力扩张的体现，其第一次考验发生在叙利亚。美国对叙利亚可能成为苏联卫星国的担忧，以及对石油管道的控制，是其干预叙利亚的主要原因。 Aemon: 1949年美国中央情报局推翻叙利亚总统舒克里·库瓦特利，是美国干涉中东内政的开始。库瓦特利是阿拉伯民族主义者，反对君主制和殖民主义。1955年以色列对加沙的军事行动加剧了叙利亚的政治动荡，导致库瓦特利复出并与纳赛尔结盟，这引发了美国的担忧。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, we talk about Syria. Or ask the question, really: What is Syria? Syria has been described as a “ fulcrum of geopolitical hegemony...” — a bit like Ukraine, interestingly — “...in the Middle East.” For that reason, for thousands of years Syria has been fought over and smashed up several times by invading armies from all directions, making the country somewhat amorphous, a patchwork of peoples practicing a huge variety of religions. More than perhaps anywhere else, Syria’s road to modern nationhood has been strewn with conflict—which we’ll explore through the prism of our continuing journey across the Cold War Middle East.
