Trump’s Middle East Pivot, Jolani’s Power Grab, and the Death of Nation-Building

This week on Welcome to the Jungle, Aya Burweila unpacks Part One of Trump’s seismic shift in U.S. foreign policy, the death of “forever wars,” and the shocking Western embrace of Syria’s new terrorist-led regime.

From Trump’s “No More Nation Building” doctrine to the $2 trillion Gulf investment pledges, Aya examines what this pivot means for the Middle East—and how it paved the way for HTS leader Jolani to quietly seize power in Syria while the world looked the other way.

We also dive into:

The EU and U.S. lifting sanctions on Syria under Jolani
Turkey’s deep role in HTS’s rise and the crimes of the Syrian National Army
The erasure of Kurdish voices from Syria’s future
How timing, terror, and tactical support made Jolani the luckiest man alive

💥 Plus: a preview of next week’s interview with Diliman Abdulkader, founder of American Friends of Kurdistan.
