Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, joins us to discuss his latest Tass article. Ray reports President Vladimir Putin's statements about a multipolar world order "evolving globally" and that the process is irreversible." President Putin also said, "The position of Russia and many other countries is that nations should build this democratic, more just world order based on mutual respect and trust, and, of course, on the generally accepted principles of international law and the UN Charter."
Regis Tremblay, an American citizen, living in Crimea, joins us to discuss Russia's current Ukraine military operation. President Vladimir Putin says, "Russia's Ukraine operation is going as planned with no need to squeeze the operation into deadlines." Also, according to sources, trade through Lithuania to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad could return to normal within days "as European officials edge towards a compromise deal with the Baltic state to defuse a row with Moscow."
George Koo, journalist, social activist, and international business consultant, joins us to discuss NATO's recent comments regarding China. Reports in the South China Post say that NATO has identified China for the first time as a "systemic challenge to Euro-Atlantic security" in NATO's strategic concept. This key document sets the alliance's military and security strategy for the next ten years.
Linwood Tauheed, associate professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, joins us to discuss the economy. A Swedish bank analyst said yesterday that the G7's price capping proposal was "a recipe for disaster."
Steve Poikonen, National Organizer for Action4Assange, joins us to discuss Yemen. The United Nations Food Program announced that they would be scaling back support for five million Yeminis people to "less than 50% of the daily requirement, and for the other eight million to around 25% of the daily requirement. The UN cites funding cuts and soaring prices around the globe as reasons for the devastating cut in aid.
Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss NATO and the diverging camps in the Atlantic Alliance. Reports that the alliance will fracture further are fueled by statements that the United States, United Kingdom, and nations in Eastern Europe seem to embrace the view "that a permanent weakening of Russia should be the goal." In contrast, Germany, France, and Italy, fearing the economic costs of the continued war in Ukraine, advocated for a swift ceasefire and negotiations leading to a diplomatic settlement between Russia and Ukraine.
Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss NATO's response to the war in Ukraine. Scott talks about NATO expanding and responding to war caused by the NATO expansion.
