US President Donald Trump and his predecessor Barack Obama want the same things in the Middle East, argues Steven Cook, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations: “disentangling the US from its foreign adventures”. Cook tells host Steve Clemons that Trump wants a deal with Iran, and may be pressuring Israel to end its war on Gaza before his proposed trip to the Gulf region next month. There is a “trust deficit” between Trump and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, adds Cook, and this explains why Trump told Netanyahu to “be reasonable” regarding Syria and Turkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

A deal signed earlier this week by Syria's interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, and the commander in chief of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazlum Kobane, is viewed by many as a turning point for Syria's Kurds. It also comes amid escalating violence across Syria which has cast serious doubts over al-Sharaa's ability to earn the trust of his people and govern. Steven Cook, the Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis to explore whether this deal is really a game changer for Syria and Syria's Kurds, and break down the roles of outside forces - particularly the US and Turkey - in this story.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Syrian Kurds celebrate deal with Damascus as coastal residents remain wary after violenceSyria's Kurds win big as Sharaa shakes hands with Kobane to save his own skinKonstantinos Tasoulas to be sworn in as president ThursdayPM eyes major cabinet shake-upThe EU wants to increase deportations and supports ‘return hubs' in third countriesEurope cracks down on migration.

Since the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, many have repeated the analysis that Turkey is “the winner” in Syria. Is this the case, however? Has Turkey really won anything yet? Developments on the ground indicate that this may not be the case. Steven Cook, the Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis to break down why it might still be too early to celebrate an Erdogan win in Syria.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Turkey Hasn't Won Anything Yet in SyriaUS officials to head to Cyprus to discuss defense upgrades, president says‘Serving as US Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime,' Tsunis says

In a lightning offensive Syrian rebels seized Aleppo and are threatening other regime-held territories in the country. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's closest allies, Russia and Iran, pledged unconditional support to his government on Monday, while a number of other countries invested in Syria - including Turkey, Israel and the US - are watching developments closely. Steven Cook, the Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and author of the recent book The End of Ambition: America's Past, Present, and Future in the Middle East, joins Thanos Davelis to look at this new cycle of violence and instability and break down what it means for the region.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:What Syria's Revived Civil War Means for the RegionSyria's rebel offensive is astonishing - but don't write off AssadGreek Current Cafe featuring Steven Cook, Michael Rubin, Jonathan Schanzer, and Endy ZemenidesForeign workers urgently neededTalks over return of Parthenon marbles to Athens are ‘well advanced'

In Zahav Home, co-owners Chef Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook bring Zahav's signature ideas to the home kitchen with 125 recipes for achievable meals ranging from robust salads and abundant vegetables to hearty soups and easy lunches. In conversation with Jake Tapper, CNN anchor and chief Washington correspondent. This program was held on September 30, 2024. 

Host Dave Sobel engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Steven Cook, the owner of Strategic IT Services, a managed service provider (MSP) specializing in cybersecurity. Steven shares insights into the diverse range of services his organization offers, from general technical support to cybersecurity and disaster recovery. With a focus on co-managed IT, Steven explains how his company assists businesses of varying sizes, from solopreneurs to larger organizations in regulated sectors like finance and energy.The discussion delves into the impact of regulations on customer needs, particularly in the energy sector, where recent political changes have significantly affected income streams. Steven highlights the challenges faced by small businesses in maintaining IT services, often opting for minimal or no support, which raises concerns about cybersecurity risks. He emphasizes the importance of having a baseline level of security measures in place, such as endpoint detection and response, to protect sensitive information and maintain operational continuity.As the conversation progresses, the topic shifts to the evolving landscape of cybersecurity regulations, including the rollout of CMMC 2.0 and the implications of FedRAMP certification for software vendors. Steven expresses his expectation that demand for compliance with these standards will increase, particularly as more MSPs and MSSPs serve defense-related industries. He notes that while some vendors have yet to prioritize FedRAMP certification, there is a growing need for businesses to adopt security measures that meet regulatory requirements.Finally, Steven shares his perspective on the liability of software providers in the context of cybersecurity incidents. He argues that while vendors like CrowdStrike bear some responsibility for their products, the onus also falls on businesses and IT implementers to follow best practices in deploying technology. This includes implementing phased rollouts and testing updates in controlled environments. The episode concludes with a call for clearer regulations and standards to protect businesses and their customers from the increasing threat of cyberattacks.

This is a case where everyone from local law enforcement, to Steven's friends and family do everything right in their search for Steven... yet somehow he is nowhere to be found.

Visit us at Network2020.org. The events of 9/11 marked a pivotal moment in U.S. foreign policy, reshaping America's role in the Middle East and leading to two decades of deep engagement in the region. From the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to the broader War on Terror, the U.S. has played a central, often controversial, role in attempting to reshape the Middle East. This journey has been fraught with both significant achievements and tragic missteps, leaving a complex legacy that continues to influence global politics today. Has U.S. involvement truly served its national interests, or has it only deepened instability in the region? And what should America's role in the Middle East look like moving forward given the current regional instability?As we reflect on this 23rd anniversary, join us for a conversation with Dr. Steven Cook, Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies and director of the International Affairs Fellowship for Tenured International Relations Scholars at the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of the recently published Oxford University Press book, “The End of Ambition: America's Past, Present, and Future in the Middle East”  Music by soundbay from Pixabay

As the Gaza conflict enters its eighth month, Iran stands out as the one country that has succeeded in projecting further as a result.

College campuses are flooded with students and faculty calling for the end of Israel itself.In this episode, we look into the origins of the conflict, as well as its causes, with Steven Cook of the Council on Foreign relations. Everyone's done that, though. What makes this episode worth listening to—beyond our natural charms—is that we try to get a grip on the region and even what the end game could possibly look like.Angry Planet has a Substack!

On the eve of the NATO summit in Vilnius it appears that Turkish President Erdogan is once again moving the goalposts when it comes to Sweden's NATO membership bid, attempting to put progress on Turkey's EU membership on the table as well. At the same time, President Biden and Erdogan also discussed the potential sale of US F-16 fighter jets to Turkey, and with Ankara introducing new demands at the 11th hour, the link between Sweden's NATO accession and the issue of F-16s is under the spotlight as well. Steven Cook, the Eni Enrico Mattei Senior Fellow for Middle East and Africa Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis to look ahead at what is likely to be a dramatic NATO summit.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Sweden still not ready for NATO, Erdoğan tells BidenUS could agree to sell Turkey F-16 jets so it will allow Sweden to join NatoUS, Turkey edge closer to deal on Sweden's NATO membership; bargaining over F-16sAs NATO Gathers, Unity Among the Alliance Has Become Harder to SustainMitsotakis, Erdogan hoping for a resetErdogan's difficult equation in NATOTemperatures set to climbItaly heatwave could push temperatures close to European record

The results of Turkey's presidential election are finally in and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who had been forced into a runoff against his chief opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, gets to keep his job as leader of NATO's most troublesome member.Were the elections free and fair? Meh, says Foreign Policy/Council on Foreign Relations expert Steven Cook. This week he joins us to wrap up one of the world's most anticipated elections—even if the suspense was never more than mild.Erdogan isn't either a benevolent dictator or a tyrant. He's an authoritarian of his own flavor—and at least 52 percent of Turks can't get enough of it. In the 20 years he's been in power, he's mostly been a man for his moment, mixing Islamist beliefs with strong ties to at least military modernity. Before the May 28 vote, the 69-year-old had won many elections—by a lot. He was a popular reformist mayor of Turkey's largest and most storied city, Istanbul. He did so well there that he and his Islamist Justice and Development Party, AKP, moved up to the national stage.So, Steven, what's next for Erdogan and the rest of the world that has to deal with him?Listen to the show to find out.Angry Planet has a Substack!

This week Sinan Oğan, the nationalist “kingmaker” who came third in Turkey's elections, endorsed President Erdogan. Having won just over 5% of the vote in the first round, his voters could hold the key to victory on Sunday in Turkey's runoff for the presidency. In the meantime, Turkey's opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu is in the fight of his life, and the question remains whether he has a path to victory. Expert Sinan Ciddi joins Thanos Davelis to look at this latest development and how it could impact the election results. We also break down why Erdogan's better than expected showing in the first election caught Turkey observers by surprise, and what the Turkey-watching world should learn from this.Sinan Ciddi is a non-resident senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), where he contributes to FDD's Turkey Program and Center on Military and Political Power (CMPP). He is also an Associate Professor of Security Studies at the Command and Staff College-Marine Corps University and Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service.Read Sinan Ciddi and Steven Cook's latest in Foreign Policy: Why Turkey Experts Got the Election All WrongWatch this FDD event: Turkey's Elections: A Contested and Uncertain OutcomeYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdoğan wins support from Turkey's election ‘kingmaker'SYRIZA leaking in all directionsGreece appoints caretaker PM ahead of June election

There are authoritarians and there are tyrants, and sometimes they're the same person. But would a true tyrant put himself up to face the people in an election that could be free and maybe even fair?With Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan, we're going to find out the exact flavor of authoritarian he is on Sunday, May 14, and in the days immediately following. Erdogan has been in power in his nation of more than 80 million people for nearly two decades, and in some ways, he's brought it to near ruin, with economic policies based more on his gut than sound economic theory.He's also not much on newspapers, freedom of information, or freedom of speech.On the other hand, no one is going to doubt the importance of his country on the world stage. Erdogan has become something like the Bosporus itself, a gateway or meeting point between NATO and Moscow, and even Iran occasionally. That sounds good, but it hasn't made the West particularly happy. In one of the most recent examples, Turkey's veto is the only thing standing between Sweden and NATO membership. Erdogan says it has to do with Sweden harboring Kurdish terrorists, but, like buying S-400 missile batteries from Russia, it could just be a thumb in the eye of all concerned.Maybe the U.S. should just sell Turkey those F-16s it wants.The main question, however, is what Erdogan will do when all the votes are counted. If he loses, does he go away? If he wins, does he take away more freedoms from Turks and become the tyrant he always had the potential of becoming?To answer these questions, Angry Planet spoke with Steven Cook of the Council on Foreign relations. He had some surprising thoughts—and a wager.Angry Planet has a Substack!

High inflation and an earthquake that killed more than 50,000 people have created a political opening for opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu. What are the dynamics shaping this election?
