Empire, Power, and People with Andrew Gavin Marshall- Episode 86

Syria and the Geopolitics of Empire

Syria is complex. It’s an uprising against a tyrant, a civil war between the regime and violent rebel groups, a regional war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, a wider proxy war between the West (especially the US) and Iran (allied with Russia), it’s a counter-revolution to the Arab Spring and the symbol of the challenge of maintaining imperial hegemony in an awakening world. The people of Syria are caught in the middle of the geopolitics of empire, and are suffering as a result. This episode breaks down the geopolitics of empire in the Middle East-Syria.
