Following up on our recent warning about the situation in Syria, Chris sits down this week for a conversation with The Saker, who writes extensively on geo-political and military matters. The Saker (a nom-de-plume), is a former intelligence expert with professional and personal insights into Russia and the Middle East.
He shares our deep concern for the dangerously misdirected current state of US foreign and military policy, as well as the potentially lethal repercussions these threaten to have in the powderkeg that is Syria.
In this week's podcast, The Saker provides an excellent distillation of the complex forces in play in Syria — as well as in the brewing friction between the US and Russia — and why the risk of nuclear war has now grown higher than it has been in decades.

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Charles Hugh Smith discuss:
- The Intelligence Wars
- When everyone is pointing fingers, whom are we to believe?
- The Need For Humility
- Our current hubris is destroying the systems we depend on
- The Enemy
- Is our our "neo'" agenda, whichever side of the aisle it's on
- Fixing Our Broken Healthcare System
- Reform needs to start with our own behavior
"We have met the enemy and he is us"
~ Pogo (Walt Kelly)
This week Chris and Charles hold up a harsh mirror to American society. So many of the long-term predicaments we face are issues of our own making, pursuits that benefit an elite few at the expense of the rest of us. The good news here is that we still have time to dramatically improve our odds of a better future by choosing to make different decisions going forward. The all-important question is: But will we?
