Syria & Trump: What's the Deal? / Lt Col Daniel Davis

Descrizione:

Daniel Davis discusses a surprising U.S. agreement with Syria’s president to join a coalition against ISIS in exchange for sanctions relief and economic cooperation, noting the deal’s potential to allow U.S. troop withdrawal by 2026 but expressing skepticism about its durability. He also examines Ukraine’s deteriorating military situation, highlighting Russian advances near Pokrovsk, the collapse of Ukrainian lines, and the impact of winter energy strikes, while criticizing corruption scandals that undermine Ukraine’s credibility. Davis argues that President Zelensky’s refusal to withdraw troops and the West’s insistence on continued fighting may lead to a disastrous winter for Ukraine, with sanctions failing to weaken Russia and the possibility of complete military defeat if Western support does not shift.
