Discussion round on German TV channel phoenix from April 12 2018 about the alleged poison gas attacks on Douma near Damascus, Syria. This is discussion is remarkable as, for the first time since the war in Syria started, the whole history and political context of the war is being discussed. Also, the success of the Russian intervention. I haven't seen such an open discussion on German TV in - I can't even remember when. Of course, russophobic and Atlanticist positions are also present, but both get a platform. Here is the original upload with further information: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_dzdl_2xy8 Host Alexander Kähler is discussing with: - Gesine Dornblüth (Independent Journalistin and former correspondent in Moscow for Deutschland Radio) - Harald Kujat (General (ret.) of the German air force and former head of the NATO Military Comittee) - Prof. Günter Meyer (Head of the Center for Research on the Arab World, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz) - Prof. Crister S. Garrett (Professor for American Studies, Universität Leipzig)
