Ryan Dawson Presents Dr. Stephen Zunes
Dr. Stephen Zunes is a Professor of Politics and International Studies at the University of San Francisco, where he chairs the program in Middle Eastern Studies. He is the author of several books including Western Sahara: War Nationalism& Conflict Irresolution Today we discuss the US and NATO’s cascading series of blowback-disasters from Libya to Mali to Algeria and why “the enemy of your enemy is not your friend.” They’re just your future enemy.

So what is happening now, and could this conflict grow further? Is France painting a target on itself? How much is gold a factor? Tune in.
