What better time to continue testing out our new dedication to sticking to the facts then President Trump capping Iranian General Qassem Soleimani? For this episode of Gray Matters we bring in our foreign affairs correspondent Richard “The Professor” DeVine to help us understand who Qassem Soleimani is, how he came to power, and most importantly why The US wanted him dead.
Of course we cannot have a discussion about whether killing him was justified without a deep dive into what the Iranian Nuclear was, what it was supposed to do, and whether it truly was a good or bad deal. What did we find out? Well we surely figure out that Soleimani was not a good dude in any way shape or form and in-fact was one of the most powerful influencers in the middle-east. But does that necessarily mean killing him was the right move? We also figure out that surprise surprise, most people who hate or love the Iran nuclear deal really have no clue what was actually in the deal.
Instead of being part of the problem and spreading fake news, tune in to the one place you know is fake….Gray Matters Radio!
