Business Game Changers Radio with Sarah Westall: On the Brink of WWIII - Why the U.S. is in Syria and How it Dominates Militarily with Space Technology

World War III is building up in the Middle East as 20 countries participate in a military “exercise” dubbed “Northern Thunder”. The exercise includes 350,000 soldiers, 20 thousand tanks, 2450 warplanes, and 460 military helicopters supplied by Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Senegal, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Kuwait, the Maldives, Morocco, Pakistan, Chad, Tunisia, Comoro Islands, Djibouti, Malaysia, Egypt, Mauritania, and Mauritius. While this is occurring, Turkey has been bombing Syria since early February and has been urging the United States to mount a ground operation in Syria. 

Meanwhile, Russia is warning that an escalation in Syria will undoubtedly cause World War III to explode in the region. Some believe this is all posturing to convince parties to come to the table to negotiate a peace agreement in the region. Regardless of the motives, all of this action is extremely dangerous and could spark World War III in the region. 

This episode of Business Game Changers welcomes Bruce Gagnon, co-founder of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. Initially the show was intended to focus on the issues of militarizing and commercializing space. However, with the current situation in the Middle East, our discussion led into the issues surrounding the pending World War at our feet. Listen to this episode to learn about why we are in Syria, how the U.S. military uses space to dominate the world, and how he believes the future will unfold regarding the geopolitical issues regarding space, the military, and the world community.
