Why US Intervention in the Middle East Has Only Made Things Worse

US foreign policy is explored with author and journalist Stephen Kinzer. We look at some of the failures of US military intervention overseas and explain how US involvement in the Middle East helped fuel the civil war in Syria and the creation of ISIS. We also look at the foreign policy views of presidential candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, and describe how the US media is misleading the public about what’s happening in Syria. Should America stop trying to fix the rest of the world and focus on its own problems instead? We break it down in this uncensored Antidote interview hosted by Michael Parker.
