What begins as a retrospective look at the show over the past year, quickly turns into an episode devoted to yours truly's pet issue, foreign policy. I will provide some key pieces of information that has helped form my understanding of the geopolitical quagmire in the Middle East/North-East Africa region, with a lot of help from clips made my various other media outlets. Who are the big players, why each faction leverages power against each other, and under which proxies. These are the big questions we need to be asking ourselves, and there's a lot to unravel. Consider this setting a precedent for 2018's trajectory as a show, where you can expect to see more of the curtain be pulled back, as we subvert the gatekeepers of narrative.
