Experts will discuss the ramifications of US military withdrawal from Northern Syria.
The recent abrupt withdrawal of United States military forces from the Syrian side of the border with Turkey immediately and drastically altered the balance of power in that volatile region. The panel will explore the ramifications of the U.S. withdrawal: Turkey’s military intervention, the dismantling of the Syrian Kurds’ autonomous zone, Russia’s ascent as the main powerbroker in Syria, the decline of American influence, and the prospect of a revival of the Islamic State.
Panelists include:
- Chris Bolan, U.S. Army War College
- David Commins, Dickinson College
- Larry Goodson, U.S. Army War College
- Jacob Udo-Udo Jacob (moderator)
