In this podcast episode, Jennifer Cafarella, Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), discusses her expertise in Syria and counter-ISIS work. The ISW focused on Syria. Over time they expanded their Russia program, recognizing Putin's intervention in Syria as part of his global strategy. ISW provides support to educate civilian leaders on military force usage. They also train and advise senior military commanders while fostering young national security talent.  The podcast highlights the attempted coup by Progozhin, leader of the Wagner Group, and the group's uncertain future. The brutality associated with Wagner, such as disturbing videos from Syria and Ukraine, is discussed. Speculation arises on potential Russian defense and leadership changes due to the coup attempt. The ISW provides daily briefs and updates on the fighting in eastern Ukraine, which I think is the best publicly available information on the war.

The United States retains a small but highly effective force in Syria. This force has a clear mission: defeat ISIS and prevent the resurgence of extremist groups in eastern Syria. However, poor communication and muddled media coverage has contributed to a lack of clarity regarding the role and mission of US forces. In this episode of Overwatch, Jennifer Cafarella and Eva Kahan cut through the confusion to provide a clear assessment of the purpose, status, and likely future of US forces in Syria.

The crisis in Iraq continues to escalate. Multiple reports of assassinations and other targeted killings of activists and demonstrators reflect an attempt to suppress the protests through intimidation, likely by Iran's proxies. Leading Shi'a political figure Muqtada al Sadr called for the dissolution of the government and a new election in an attempt to oust the sitting Prime Minister, who has failed to address the crisis. A parliament session is reportedly scheduled for October 5th. It remains unclear whether a reshuffle in the political leadership in Baghdad would ameliorate protest demands, however. ISW's Iraq expert Samantha Leathley joins Jennifer Cafarella to discuss developments on the ground and what ISW is watching for next. *Originally published October 4, 2019.
