Ray McGovern is back to talk about America's relationship with Russia. President Biden met with Putin recently, McGovern explains, which is good for Biden's stance toward Russia, and, of course, for world peace. War with Russia is sometimes held out as an actual possibility, especially over supposed acts of provocation like Russia's annexation of Crimea or the various cyberattacks of recent months. But since Russia has nuclear weapons, there's simply no world in which we could fight a full scale war—the consequences could be the destruction of the entire human race. Whatever Biden's foreign policy legacy is over the rest of his term, maintaining peace with Russia must be at the top of the list.

Sheldon Richman, vice president of The Future of Freedom Foundation, discusses his article “We Must Not Be the World’s Policeman;” the Obama loyalists desperately grasping for reasons to attack Syria; why there shouldn’t be a “red line” anywhere requiring American military intervention abroad; too much talk about boots on the ground and not enough on collateral damage from US air strikes; and why AIPAC seems to be the only organized group pushing for war.
