Russian Airstrikes Continue in Idlib As Turkish Army Waits in the Wings
In this segment, hosts Jacquie Luqman and Sean Blackmon are joined by Francis Boyle, Professor of International Law at the University of Illinois, to talk about the escalations between Turkey and Russia in the Idlib province of Syria, the role of the U.S. government in fomenting the violent conditions currently facing the Syrian people, the historical precedent for Turkish territorial ambitions in that country, why international law clearly comes down on the side of Syria/Russia instead of the Turkish army and their jihadi militias, possible outcomes of the planned conversation between Turkish President Recep Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin later, whether the US/Taliban 7-day reduction in violence slated to begin today represents a reason for optimism, and why US intentions in Afghanistan may actually be quite different from the those stated publicly.
