Great Decisions Discussion Group: Disorder in the Middle East

Wednesday, February 20, 2019
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Radmacher Meeting Room

This group meets monthly to discuss a topic of current affairs. In February, we focus on the turmoil in the Middle East.

The Trump administration has aligned itself with strongmen in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Egypt. Along with Israel, they share a common goal of stopping Iranian expansion. What will be the fallout from policy reversals, such as withdrawing from the Iranian nuclear accord and moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem? Does the United States see a path forward in troubled states such as Syria, Yemen, Libya, and Iraq? Is the United States headed toward war with Iran?
