Syria. The World. Under Trump 2.0 with Joe Cirincione
12/10/24 • 44 min
Today’s guest is our go to man on Foreign Policy and National Security, Joe Cirincione. He is the former President of the Plowshares Fund and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He and Bill cover a wide range of global crises and upheaval, including the sudden collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and South Korea, and the prospect of Donald Trump returning to power. Cirincione provides insights on the key events and their geopolitical implications, such as the surprising fall of the Assad government, the weakening of Russia and Iran's influence in the region, and the risks a Trump presidency would pose in terms of nuclear proliferation and global instability. Cirincione emphasizes the need for U.S. leadership and support to help rebuild Syria and stabilize Europe, while cautioning against Trump's isolationist tendencies and potential to undermine existing international alliances and security frameworks. You can read and subscribe to Joe Cirincione’s excellent Substack, Strategy and History here.
Today Bill suggests a great holiday gift, a handwoven scarf from his wife Carol. These are all works of art in rayon chenille or bamboo. Check them out at CarolPressScarves.com
