In this episode of The Source, we speak with Lawrence Wilkerson, a retired Army colonel and former chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, about the broader geopolitical context of the recent outbreak of war in Syria. We then examine the latest developments in the war in Ukraine and assess whether Trump's presidency will put an end to the war next year. Next, we assess the significance of the United States' rejection of the arrest warrant recently issued by the International Criminal Court against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, and ask what impact this might have on international humanitarian law. Finally, we look at the latest developments in the South China Sea, in particular the decision by the United States to provide military assistance to Taiwan and what impact this might have on relations with China.
