Summary

Erik Sperling of Just Foreign Policy joins the show to talk about what’s going on in Yemen. There have been some very good developments there recently with peace talks, ceasefires and blockades being lifted. Overall, it appears that the Saudis are no longer interested in carrying out regime change in Yemen. That is a major step towards peace, but Sperling warns that there are still parties who want elements of this war to continue in some capacity. Discussed on the show: “Jake Sullivan Discusses Yemen Peace Talks With Saudi Crown Prince” (Antiwar.com) Erik Sperling is the Executive Director of Just Foreign Policy.
