Iranian General Soleimani Dead. Now What?

In The Moment ... January 7, 2020 Show 728 Hour 2

The assassination of Iranian General Soleimani comes only a few weeks after the House passed a $738 billion military budget that omitted a number of provisions to limit the President's military powers to go to war with Iran, and the release of the "Afghanistan Papers," which reveal we've made little progress during our $1 trillion, 19-year occupation in the region.
 
So, while some celebrate the death of Soleimani, others find themselves feeling jaded with America's strategy, or lack thereof, in the middle-east. To help us get a better picture of what is going on and what it all means, we welcome back USD's Director of International Studies, Dr. Tim Schorn. 

Chris has nearly 30 years of experience in radio broadcasting and production.
Born and raised in Mitchell, he joined the NAVY as a mass communications specialist after high school and earned his bachelor’s degree in communications and design at USD.
