Ep 158 Conflict Between Russia and Turkey in Syria feat Mark Sleboda

Guest: Mark Sleboda. We talk about the recent conflicts between Russia and Turkey in Syria. Negotiations resulted in a Sochi 2.0 Agreement, also called the Moscow Memorandum which settled the issue for the time being but none of the underlying problems were solved so it's likely a temporary solution. We also discussed the overall situation in Syria and Turkish President Erdogan's predicament and predictions for his future. Mark is an International Affairs & Security Analyst, a US Navy veteran, a university lecturer and a foreign policy realist.
