Description:
In Episode 20 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we’re joined by geopolitical expert Dr. Jay Tharappel, a PhD in Political Economy whose doctoral thesis explored how economic cycles fuel geopolitical conflict. Dr. Tharappel delivers a compelling slideshow on the Syrian crisis (2011–present), unpacking the rapid collapse of Assad’s government, Western narratives around civilian casualties, and the US’s contradictory intervention against ISIS. We dive into the current state of Syria post-Assad, Israel’s geostrategic aims in Rojava and against Iran, the future of the Shia Crescent, and the Gaza-Syria connection in the context of “Greater Israel.”
