Show Notes
- Russia continues to push toward Kyiv in an apparent effort to topple Ukraine’s capital city, and it is intensifying its attacks on other cities. As much as the West hopes for Ukrainian resistance, Russia shows no signs of backing down.
- Germany has undermined the toughness of Western sanctions against Russia in a further betrayal of Ukraine and evidence of a behind-the-scenes German-Russian deal. Yet at the same time, Germany is using this as a pretext to supercharge its military.
- We also talk about U.S.-sponsored biological research labs in Ukraine, the Biden administration being snubbed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Europe looking for more gas supplies from the Middle East and North Africa, Japan responding to the Ukraine war by making its foreign policy more assertive, how the war in Ukraine is driving up food prices worldwide, and Turkey’s strongman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is reaching out for reconciliation with the State of Israel.
