FLASHPOINTS

Today on Flashpoints: We ask the question, what role has US policy in Syria played towards the rise of the group known as ISIS. Then we talk with a former FBI intelligence specialist who is part of an effort questioning the Obama administration’s evidence of Russia’s direct military involvement in the Ukraine. Following that, we take a sober assessment of the recent mass die off in the world’s fish population and try to understand why more scientists aren’t speaking out. Finally, with the world’s population having passed 7 billion, is overpopulation the real problem with the environment, r is ti the way we’ve organized our economics. We’ll speak with author Ian Agnus for his surprising answer to that question.
