Trump's Road to Damascus | Robyn Curnow

from Searching for America with Robyn Curnow · host Robyn Curnow + Bleav

Is there going to be a Balkanization of Syria after the fall of Assad? Robyn Curnow, who has covered Syria since the rise of ISIS, argues that even though President Trump doesn't want America to get involved there are opportunities for the US and allies like Israel, the Kurds etc in a post-Assad vacuum. Will the country break up and how will fragmentation play out? How many backchannel conversations have there been with US forces in Syria and the rebels now in Damascus? What games are being played out behind closed doors? http://robyncurnow.net http://www.searchingforamericapod.com http://www.x.com/robyncurnow http://www.instagram.com/robyncurnow   Got a great idea for an episode?

President Trump says he doesn't want the USA to get involved in Syria but the US is already there, with boots on the ground. Robyn Curnow says he will have no choice but to engage with the forces that emerge in a post-Assad Syria because it's too important. Tehran, Moscow, Istanbul and Jerusalem are winners and losers. It will be Trump's first test in his second term.
