Episode 11 - A Week of Global Chaos

This episode was recorded on December 4, four days before the Syrian rebels took over Damascus and President Assad fled the country. In this episode, Chelsey G and Andrew not only discuss the previous week’s events in Syria, but they also take a step back and look at numerous events around the world that inspire a sense of chaos, including the 6-hour declaration of martial law in South Korea, the collapse of the French government, and the so-called “ceasefire” in Lebanon, which Israel had routinely violated. On Syria, they begin with some background on the civil war to help lay out the context for recent events, which were clearly very fast moving.
