In the West it is called a marriage of convenience, but for Russia and China their relationship is strategic and an alternative to the West’s so-called ‘rules-based order.’ What the West refuses to recognize is what the Russians and the Chinese practice – and it’s called ‘multipolarity.’

In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, "We will bury you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president?
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Reagan says, "We will protect you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
But what might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

The Americans never had a problem starting wars, especially far away from their shores, but putting an end to them has often been a bloody mess. Barely a year after its disgraceful pullout from Afghanistan, the Biden administration got itself involved in the Ukraine conflict, with no formulated exit strategy at this point. Are there any better options for finishing this conflict than a dead end or, worse, the end of the world? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Richard Black, a former Virginia State Senator and retired US Army Colonel.

Is ending the conflict in Ukraine on the agenda? Maybe. China has offered a proposal and it appears the UK, France, and Germany are sounding out the Zelensky regime on a proposal of their own. All will come to nothing if Russia’s interests aren’t respected.
CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Martin Jay.

In seinem neuesten Interview appelliert Scott Ritter ganz besonders an Deutschland und an die Deutschen, sich von den USA zu emanzipieren. Den USA zu folgen bedeute, ins Verderben zu rennen, so der erfahrene amerikanische Militäranalyst. Amerika habe einzig und allein die eigenen Interessen im Sinn und sei kein Freund. Man müsse sich in Deutschland wieder auf die eigenen Tugenden und Werte besinnen und für sich selbst einstehen. Als konkretes Beispiel nennt Ritter die Sprengung von Nord Stream. Hier verhalte sich die deutsche Regierung wie Kleinkinder, die sich nicht trauen, sich zu wehren. Wie jede Woche analysiert Scott Ritter das aktuelle Geschehen nüchtern und schonungslos.

For five years as a CIA officer in the 1970s, Frank Snepp worked as interrogator, agent debriefer, and chief strategy analyst in the United States Embassy in Saigon. He later became a whistleblower and, during a 1983 interview recently tweeted out by Edward Snowden, Snepp explained in detail how he and his CIA colleagues used to plant false stories about the Vietnam War with targeted top-tier American journalists, all in an effort to influence public opinion and legislation in Congress.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how in Snepp’s time the CIA had to use guile to get journalists to spread propaganda whereas today intelligence operatives are invited to do so directly from the pages of the New York Times or the set of CNN and MSNBC studios.

20 years ago, the US Army and its allies invaded Iraq on the pretext that Baghdad had weapons of mass destruction. Operation Iraqi Freedom was launched to disarm Iraq of perceived WMD, and to end Saddam Hussein’s rule. However, Iraq had been found to have no biological, chemical or nuclear weapons. US troops captured Saddam in December 2003, and the war in Iraq dragged on until 2011. An estimated half a million people died in Iraq during that time. More deaths followed after the emergence of the Islamic State in the country – a direct result of the US occupation.
The documentary reflects on the legacy of the US invasion of Iraq through the eyes of medical student Ammar, former refugee Mukhalid, and other ordinary Iraqi citizens. While George Bush proclaimed Iraqis were free, they witnessed a different picture: their country slid into poverty and chronic instability. In the documentary, experts and historians weigh in on why the US intervention didn’t bring democracy, and only intensified internal tensions.
