LPAC—With the dramatic decision taken by President Trump to withdraw US forces from Syria — a clear rejection of the neo-con doctrine of perpetual war — along with the continuing emergence of the New Silk Road dynamic coming out of China, the strategic geometry of the entire Southwest Asian region has changed.

We are joined today by a distinguished panel to discuss what must be done to finally end the reign of geopolitics and bring "peace through development" to this region: Hussein Askary (Southwest Asia Coordinator for the Schiller Institute); Ulf Sandmark (Chairman of the Schiller Institute in Sweden); and Carl Osgood (Military Affairs Correspondent for Executive Intelligence Review).
