Ep. 5106 – Elijah Magnier on the Unrest in Syria and Lebanon – 11/1/2019

Scott talks to Elijah Magnier about what’s going on in Syria, with Russian troops now helping to mediate between Syria and Turkey, and where President Trump has announced his intention to seize formerly ISIS-controlled oil fields for America. Scott and Magnier agree that this move is surely illegal, and that it doesn’t even make much economic sense. Magnier also discusses Lebanon, where widespread civil unrest has failed to result in any actual political change as yet.

Elijah Magnier is a Senior Political Risk Analyst with over 32 years’ experience covering Europe & the Middle East. Find him at his website, ejmagnier.com or on Twitter @ejmalrai.
