I love all this feedback on a “Gotcha” question from right field. I’ve reviewed the whole interview, and I saw this as something thrown into the conversation to trip him up. Having to take questions from 3 different people, about a commercial, the role of the US military, outlook on the economy, to how the 2 party election is broken in less than 3 minutes. Suddenly having “What would you do in Alleppo” thrown in without any context threw him for a minute. Once Syria was mentioned, he recovered fairly quickly, and answered. My guess is they intentionally didn’t add that to the questions given in the “Show Prep” for this effect alone.
