The Real Story: A Socialist Look at Syria and US Intervention

The Real Story: A Socialist Look at Syria and US Intervention

Brian Becker dissects the reasons for the US military occupation in Syria and analyzes the objectives and strategies of U.S. imperialism in Syria, and its wars against Iraq and Libya. Becker examines in detail how the Pentagon completely dominates U.S. policy in the region and reviews how and why U.S. strategy in the Middle East dramatically shifted during the past 30 years.

The people of the United States heard that Biden bombed Syria last week just as Trump bombed Syria in the early days of his administration. But they don't have a clue that U.S. are troops are occupying the oil rich parts of Syria. This episode of The Socialist Program explains why.
