On FPF #251, I discuss the goals set by CIA Director Gina Haspel. I explain some of Haspel's and the CIA's dark History. Many of Haspel's goals call for expanding the CIA.  I update the Syrian Civil War, Yemeni Civil War, Afghan War, and US arms sales.  Links <a style="color: #0000ff;" href= "https://theintercept.com/2018/09/21/mike-pompeo-yemen-war-raytheon/"> Intercept - Rayethon Lobbyist</a> <a style="color: #0000ff;" href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/21/world/asia/afghanistan-security-casualties-taliban.html"> NYT - 57 Afghan troops killed a day</a> <a style="color: #0000ff;" href= "http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/09/russia-beefs-up-syrias-air-defenses-tells-hotheads-to-cool-down.html"> Moon of Alabama - S-300 missiles to Syria</a>

FPF #251 - Haspel's CIA

Foreign Policy Focus is a podcast hosted by me, Kyle! It covers current events overseas and how those events affect you at home. While US military operations in the Middle East seem like they are on the other side of the world, they have real impacts on the everyday lives of Americans. Wars are the most costly of all US government actions and politicians use them to strip away rights of Americans. Knowing what your government is doing around the globe will give you insight into what they are doing at home.
