The topic for November 12, 2024 is Mideast Realignment. The United States and Middle East are at a crossroads. In spite of a reduced presence in the Middle East, the U.S. still has significant national interests there and the area is a key arena for global power politics. Can the U.S. continue to defend its interests in the Middle East and globally with a lower level of military and political involvement, or should it recommit to a leading role in the region? The topic review is Chapter 1 of the briefing book: The United States and the Middle East.

The November 12, 2024 discussion will be held at 12:30 PM at Wesley Enhanced Living 100 Halcyon Drive, Media, 19063 in their Art Room. If you wish, attendees can bring a bag lunch or purchase food at the Bistro Cafe located at the facility.
