Wippl Interviewed on Trump’s Syria Response
Joseph Wippl, Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed for a television segment on President Donald Trump’s impending decision on how to respond to a suspected chemical attack in Syria.
Wippl was interviewed for an April 9, 2018 segment on NBC Boston entitled “Critics Bemoan Uncertainty in Trump’s Response to Syria.”
From the interview:
Boston University Professor Joe Wippl expects that President Trump will react in a more lethal way than he did last year following a chemical attack in Syria.
“Do I think it’s a good idea? Probably not. I think the best idea that he could possibly have is a political solution,” Wippl said.
Wippl is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer. He spent a 30 year career as an operations officer in the National Clandestine Service (NCS). Wippl has served overseas as an operations officer and operations manager in Bonn, West Germany; Guatemala City; Luxembourg; Madrid, Spain; Mexico City; Vienna, Austria; and Berlin, Germany.
