What is Geopolitical Report Two Minute Drill With Corey Stutte?
In the Geopolitical Report Two Minute Drill, Corey Stutte shares his insights on some of the day's most important geopolitical issues.
Corey: Happy Aloha Friday.
It's Corey Stutte back for another
Two Minute Drill and we've got a
couple of things to discuss today.
The first question came from one
of our subscribers was how bad
was the missile attack in Kyiv?
If you didn't read about this, there
was a missile attack on Kyiv today.
And there were 13 wounded as of
this point that had been found.
And six, foreign embassies were damaged.
So this was a fairly
significant attack on Kyiv.
Um, it also included several
large missiles and quite a bit of
damage was seen within the city.
And this comes just a day after a
GRU cyberattack on the Ministry of
Justice in Ukraine, which not a lot of
details have been put out there yet.
But still something that we're paying
close attention to as that moves forward.
The second question that we received
today was why are US officials
in Damascus for meetings with
Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham officials?
Um, interesting question.
Right.
After the fall of Assad, HTS or Hayat
Tahrir Al-Sham took over the country
and they've been in charge now.
For over a week.
What we've seen is a consolidation
of power, promises to
maintain some social issues.
And so I think what the US is actually
there trying to do is negotiate and
ensure that there's some sort of smooth
transition for the Syrian government.
We don't really know what that's gonna
look like, but we want to make sure
that that the country is in good hands.
That things are moving forward.
And there's even rumors of discussions
of removing sanctions as well as
possibly removing HTS from the
terrorist organizations lists.
So we'll see how that plays out.
While this meeting was taking place around
the same time the US actually conducted
an airstrike on ISIS in Eastern Syria.
They took out the new ISIS leader
as well as one other operative.
And this also came in line with
what, with a statement that was put
out by the foreign minister of Iraq.
Which stated that we need to be
concerned about ISIS in Syria.
They've been able to take a lot of
the Assad regime's former weapons,
and they are trying to reestablish
themselves within the country.
So a lot of things going
on in Syria today as well.
Those are all things that
we're taking a look at.
So I hope you all have a good weekend.
I'd encourage you to go out and
subscribe to Geopolitical Report Pro.
And then we'll see you next time.
