FLASHPOINTS

Today on Flashpoints, should we start the celebrations for Trump’s announcement of the withdrawal of US troops from Syria or should we join the chorus of calls to deepen our military’s involvement?  Reese Erlich joins us today to share his views. Then we speak with investigative reporter Aaron Mate about Russiagate hysteria currently gripping the nation. Next up, we return to the situation in Haiti with journalist Maud Jean Michel to revisit a massacre in the neighborhood of La Saline last month and the recent protests there this past Sunday. Finally, we have a short visit with Adbuster’s own St. Nick, co-founder Kalle Lasn puts consumerism this holiday season into perspective and offers his own suggestions for bringing back the true holiday spirit.

Today on Flashpoints, we continue our journey down the rabbit hole known as the Pentagon’s budget. We speak with Pierre Sprey who spent 20 years developing weapons for US military contractors. Then we take a unique look at the reaction of the Afghan diaspora in the US as the State Department, the Afghan government and the Taliban agree to direct negotiations to end the war.
