- The Fall of Assad: Winners, Losers and Regional Consequences
In a rapidly changing Middle East, Jim Clancy and guest Ken Robinson delve into the complex dynamics following the takeover of Syria by a rebel alliance led by HTS and Abu Mohammed al-Julani. They explore geopolitical shifts, including implications for Iran and Hezbollah, Turkey’s interests, and the precarious situation faced by the Alawite minority. The conversation also touches on the U.S. and international involvement, the evolving role of Israel, and the urgent need for diplomatic solutions that foster stability and hope for the people of Syria and the wider region.

About The Brief
From the publisher's feed
The Brief presents unique and entertaining interviews with original thinkers on the most critical issues of the day. Journalist Jim Clancy engages expert guests in…
rigorous but relaxed conversations that unpack serious subjects in new and surprising ways. In a relatable yet informed manner, we illuminate some of the misapprehensions that the public may hold. By tapping the knowledge of our guests, we intend to surface some of the overlooked causal factors and explore contingencies that may yet happen.
The Brief will range beyond conventional national security debates and explore how technology- especially artificial intelligence- is likely to alter our economies and societies. The podcast intends to provide robust discussions about how environmental and climate concerns should be every society’s priority, and we will cover some innovative potential approaches on how humanity could bend the curve of global warming.
