On this episode of The Backstory, host Rachel Blevins began the new year with a discussion on several topics from around the world, including the reports that Great Britain may launch an attack against Yemen's Houthis in the Red Sea.
In the first hour, The Backstory spoke to Professor at the University of Tehran Mohammad Marandi about the recent escalation in the Red Sea, especially after the US killed ten members of Yemen's Houthis and Iran's warship deployment.
Later in the hour, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies Andrew Arthur joined the show to discuss the ongoing migration crisis which has seen a record number of people enter the US in one month.
To kick off the last hour, Rachel spoke to geopolitical analyst Alex Christoforou about the Biden administration's idea of giving Ukraine $300 billion worth of seized Russian assets.
In the final segment, Rachel was joined by journalist and author KJ Noh to discuss the civil war in Myanmar as both China and the US engage in a proxy war with opposing factions.
