Max Blumenthal on Baghdadi's death and Trump's fake withdrawal in Syria
Pushback with Aaron Maté
Max Blumenthal explains how the US-backed proxy war in Syria helped create the al-Qaeda safe haven where US forces killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi; and how Trump, despite announcing a withdrawal, is continuing the proxy war by keeping US troops to steal Syria's oil.
Guest: Max Blumenthal, Editor of The Grayzone and author of "The Management of Savagery."
The Grayzone's Anya Parampil joins Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate to analyze the escalating military conflict between Iran and Israel against the backdrop of the wars in Syria and Ukraine, a failing US sanctions regime, and a Western empire in decline.

Pushback with Aaron Maté
Journalist Tareq Haddad explains his decision to resign from Newsweek over its refusal to cover the OPCW's unfolding Syria scandal. According to whistleblower testimony and leaked documents, OPCW officials raised alarm about the suppression of critical findings that undermine the allegation that the Syrian government committed a chemical weapons attack in the city of Douma in April 2018. Haddad's editors at Newsweek rejected his attempts to cover the story.
"If I don’t find another position in journalism because of this, I’m perfectly happy to accept that consequence," Haddad says. "It’s not desirable. But there is no way I could have continued in that job knowing that I couldn’t report something like this."
Guest: Tareq Haddad, journalist who recently resigned from Newsweek over its refusal to cover the OPCW's Syria scandal.
