SPECIAL EPISODE: Good News and Bad News in Syria Following the Collapse of Bashar al-Assad

Описание: Text the ATB Team! We'd love to hear from you! (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


GNSI Executive Direct and former Commander of U.S. Central Command, retired Marine Corps General, Frank McKenzie joins the podcast for a special episode examining the explosive situation and developments in Syria, following the victory by rebel forces in overthrowing the country's government. Former President, Bashar al-Assad has fled the country, receiving asylum in Moscow. The rebel forces who have waged a ten-year war against Assad's government, resulting in nearly half a million deaths, are now in control, led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the emir of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). McKenzie says there's a lot of good news with the toppling of Assad's government but he's unsure if that will mean good news for the Syrian people. Jalani has a $10 million bounty on his head as HTS is considered a terrorist group by the United States.

At the Boundary from the Global and National Security Institute (https://www.usf.edu/GNSI) at the University of South Florida, (https://www.usf.edu) features global and national security issues we’ve found to be insightful, intriguing, fascinating, maybe controversial, but overall just worth talking about.

A "boundary" is a place, either literal or figurative, where two forces exist in close proximity to each other. Sometimes that boundary is in a state of harmony. More often than not, that boundary has a bit of chaos baked in. The Global and National Security Institute (https://www.usf.edu/GNSI) will live on the boundary of security policy and technology and that's where this podcast will focus.

The mission of GNSI is to provide actionable solutions to 21st-century security challenges for decision-makers at the local, state, national and global levels. We hope you enjoy At the Boundary.
