DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nThe sudden fall of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has 
 been met with both celebration and trepidation; relief and joy for the end 
 of a torturous regime but anxiety over what the future holds, as Israel 
 bombs Syria to annex more land, Turkey’s Erdogan applauds the collapse of 
 a rival power and the US government loots Syria’s oil supply. Then 
 there’s the question of HTS, an al-Qaeda offshoot that led the uprising. 
 Will Congress and the White House no longer consider HTS a terrorist? Will 
 the former enemy now become a partner in imperial crime as the US and 
 Israel deepen their foothold in the region? Then there’s Ukraine and 
 Russia. How will the fall of Assad impact that US proxy war? These 
 questions beg for answers as the US and Israel continue their genocide in 
 Gaza despite global condemnation.\n\nFeatured Guest\n\nVijay Prashad is an 
 Indian historian, journalist and political commentator. He is the Executive 
 Director of Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, Editor of 
 LeftWord Books, Chief Correspondent at Globetrotter, and a senior 
 non-resident fellow at Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin 
 University of China. Ideologically a Marxist, Prashad is well known for his 
 criticism of capitalism, neocolonialism, US exceptionalism and Western 
 imperialism. Prashad is the author of thirty books, including Washington 
 Bullets, Red Star Over the Third World, The Darker Nations: A People's 
 History of the Third World and The Poorer Nations: A Possible History of 
 the Global South. In 10 points on the fall of Bashar Al-Assad’s Syria, 
 Prashad reflects on the latest developments in Syria and what they mean for 
 the West Asia region.\n
