WW2.5 is what I like to call “The US against who?” You may say China or Russia. In my opinion, those are both wrong. It's the US against Europe. And the US just won. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has encouraged US dominance over Europe. Let's take a deeper look at this dominance.Click here to get the PDF with all charts and graphsMilitary dominanceThe US has more than 60,000 troops in Europe, half of which are in Germany, a third in Italy, and the UK. The US operates more than 200 military bases in Europe. People often like to say that it's China or maybe Russia that will take over the world. But when I look at it objectively, Russia is almost a non-issue for the US. Here's why:Economically, it's tinier than the USMilitarily, the US military budget is 10X the Russian budgetPeople worldwide are more likely to prefer the US political system over the Russian oneAlmost all European countries joined NATO, and the US now controls it. NATO membership means Europeans participate as “peacekeepers” in US conflicts. In today's world, joining NATO means getting involved in military action worldwide for Europeans.Political dominanceIn 2018, Trump raised the issue of Germany's energy dependence on Russia in a meeting with Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary-General of NATO.https://youtu.be/9LLZBVTid4IThe conversation shows that back when Trump was in power, the US tried to get Germany to stop getting oil and gas from Russia. This was a move to control Russia's dominance.The absence of former Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel and her coalition's political leadership in Europe has allowed the US to fill the gap, for example, forcing Germany to cut off the Russian oil and gas supply. European political leaders will find it hard to oppose the US, thus weakening Europe politically.Cultural dominanceI find it fascinating that the 2015 Syrian refugee crisis saw nearly 1.3 million people (Syrians, Afghans, Nigerians, and others) arrive in Europe to request asylum. This is the highest number of asylum seekers in a single year since World War II. I believe an influx of refugees into any country will cause a cultural disruption.Of the asylum seekers from the Syrian Crisis:51% went to Germany10% to France9% to Italy7% to SwedenI'm talking about the Syrian crisis in 2015 and the refugees because, since February 2022, more than 11 million Ukrainians have entered the European Union. In the presentation, I shared an excellent chart that shows where these people are going.The main thing about this that is interesting is that we're not seeing 1.3 million people as we saw in the Syrian war; we see 11 million. We could estimate that many of the 11 million will return to Ukraine after the war, and we'll remain with about 3 or 4 million permanent refugees or political asylum seekers in Europe. That still causes disruption. Whether you're for or against accepting political asylum seekers, the fact is that it causes disruption.Financial dominanceWhen you look at the GDP of the biggest countries in the world, and I break it into three groups; the Americas, Asia, and Europe, you'll see that the US is about 24% of the total GDP. China is about 19% of the total global GDP. So in the Americas and Asia, we have dominant players, the US and China.But in Europe, the German GDP is only 4% of the world's total. The UK has about 3.2%, France 2.8%, and Italy 2%. Unlike the Americas and Asia, no country is a dominant economic force in Europe. Merkel's...
As global citizens, we are aware that armed conflict impacts patients and our profession. What is the role of medicine and the physician in armed conflict? How can we care for our patients and ourselves amidst global military crisis? What is the physician obligation to care for soldiers and refugees? Critical care specialist Zaher Sahloul, MD and director of ethics policy Elliot Crigger, PhD, discuss these questions and more.

Colonel (Ret.) Joel Rayburn knows the Middle East well. He served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Levant Affairs and Special Envoy for Syria during the Trump administration, after tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is also an accomplished historian, author of Iraq After America: Strongmen, Sectarians, Resistance (Hoover Press) and co-author of the Army War College history of the Iraq War. This conversation begins with an analysis of the situation in Daraa, a city in southern Syria where the revolution against the Assad regime began in 2011. Russia-brokered agreements between the rebels and the regime in 2018 and 2020 have broken down, as Assad tries to establish full control and extend its longstanding strategy of forcible displacements, that is, forcing restive population groups to leave, adding to the international flow of refugees: this is a war crime. Col. Rayburn discusses the developments in Daraa in detail and then places them in the framework of the ambitions of the various international actors: Russia, Iran, Turkey, the United States, Israel and the Europeans. He concludes with brief remarks on the prospects for the recently announced formation of a government in Lebanon.

The Syrian crisis has reached an unwelcome milestone, with 10 years having passed since peaceful protests against President Bashar Assad's government first began in March of 2011. Those protests sparked a full-blown civil war that has killed around half a million people and displaced half the pre-war population of 23 million, 5 million of whom are now refugees. Mike Seawright, the founder and executive director of Relief Aid, spoke to Susie Ferguson.
Ten years have now passed since the start of the Syrian crisis. March 2011 marked the start of protests against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad, and the resulting crackdown by his government started an ongoing civil war, which has killed around 500,000 and displaced half the pre-war population of 23 million, five million of whom are now refugees. Two years ago Susie Ferguson spoke to Radwan Loulou, a then-18-year-old Syrian refugee who had settled with his family in New Zealand. They caught up again on Tuesday.
Visitors around the world have travelled to Europe to see the tall spires and stained glass windows of the continent's Gothic cathedrals: in Cologne, Chartres, Milan, Florence, York and Paris. The trappings of Gothic architecture have become shorthand for “medieval Europe”. Yet in Stealing from the Saracens: How Islamic Architecture Shaped Europe (Hurst: 2020), Diana Darke investigates the Islamic origins of Gothic architecture, tracing its history through pre-Islamic Syria through the Islamic empires to the tall European cathedrals between the 12th and 17th centuries. The book sold out on its first day of sale, in part due to its review in The Guardian, which called the book "an exhilarating, meticulously researched book that sheds light on centuries of borrowing." In this interivew, Diana Darke and I talk about the origins of what we consider to be “Gothic architecture”, how those styles came to Europe, how this history of cultural and intellectual exchange may have gotten lost, and what we miss when we code something as fully “European”, fully “Islamic”, or fully any kind of culture. Diana Darke is an Arabist and cultural expert who has lived and worked in the Middle East for over thirty years. Among her better-known books are The Merchant of Syria: A History of Survival and My House in Damascus: An Inside View of the Syrian Crisis.

He joins us from Chicago via Skype to discuss his medical mission work in Syria. We discuss why he became interested in mission work, how a physician can provide care in “cave” hospitals, and how he was able to fight the hopelessness of war.

Part 1 of 3 of a series of podcasts from the special workshop 'The Arab Uprisings: Displacement and Migration', held at the Oxford Department of International Development on 16 May 2014 The aim of this workshop was to investigate the relation between migration and revolts. Some of the questions that were addressed include: What is the theoretical link between emigration, immigration and revolts? What have been the short-term and long-term impacts of the uprisings on mobility, migration and displacement in the Middle East and North Africa region in terms of patterns and trends and of institutional responses to movements induced by the Arab Uprising? What has been the impact of the Uprisings on broader processes of social change in the region?
