Mark Helprin

MARK HELPRIN, of the Wall Street Journal and accomplished author, joins Frank for a one hour special about the issues plaguing the Middle East today and the declining power of the US in the region. Mark starts the hour by analyzing the headline topic of US intervention in Syria as a reaction to the Syrian government using chemical weapons on civilians. 

Throughout the hour, Mark explores a variety of topics including: the situation in Egypt and the continue support by the US for the Muslim Brotherhood; his time in the Israeli military and how Israel is used a tool by Islamic leaders to distract their citizens from the internal problems facing their nations; the current condition of the US military; the threat from China, and much, much more.
