US neocons have had Iran on their regime change and war planning list for 50 years. Now they are in the final preparation for the great push to make war all but inevitable for the incoming Trump administration. The warmongers are working in over-drive Today I‘m talking to the journalist James Carden, and Colonol Douglas Macgregor, the CEO of Our Country our Choice.

[2 of 2] The West's visceral hate for all things Russian is leading the US and Europe into dangerous and self-defeating foreign policies from which they will not be able to recover unless a fundamental rethinking of Eurasian policies takes place. This is the second part of an interview with Mr. Graham Fuller, a former CIA intelligence officer and geostrategist.

[1 of 2] The Jihadist take-over of Syria is first and foremost a tragedy for the people of Syria who might be in for the fate of Libya. But for Russia this is an entirely different thing. Unlike Washington, Moscow does not try to over-extend and fight for 20 years for a lost cause. Rather, it lets its enemies saw the seeds of their own future defeat. If one thing is clear by now, it's that Al-Qaeda-run governments always come back to hunt the USA. My guest today is Graham Fuller, a former CIA intelligence officer and geostrategist.

Update on Syria and the geopolitics of West Asia with Ambassador Chas Freeman. Ambassador Freeman served as US Assistant Secretary of Defense from 1993-94, and as U. S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (89–92), handling the fallout of the Gulf War. He was the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during the historic U.S. mediation of Namibian independence, And he was Richard Nixons principal interpreter during his 1972 visit to China, which lead to the normalization of US–China relations.

In some circles, it has become common place to view BRICS as an anti-western alliance. But that is not the nature of this club. BRICS is non-western, not anti-western. And that's the fundament on which its cooperative power is built. Listen to Professor Anuradha Chenoy explain the fundamental difference as well as the pillars of the new financial system the group is working on. Anuradha Chenoy is a specialist of international affairs who has worked for decades especially on Russia, Human Security, Arms Trade, and Peace building.

Don't be fooled. The most recent protests in Tbilisi are about as organic as a BigMac. The neocon factions inside the Georgian political process (and outside as well) are trying desperately to undo the results of the October 26 election in the country, resorting even to the Maidan play-book of a decade ago. However, the situation in Georgia is quite different now from what it was in Ukraine. While anything could still happen, the political game of the Georgia Dream government is more prudent than that of the Yankovich government, and the political substance that the protests are trying to tap into is weaker as well.

The power dynamics in West Asia are shifting away from US Empire as we speak, and mainstream media barely covers it. Saudi Arabia and Iran have gone from a cold detente to a pragmatic entente that will completely change the region, and there is nothing the US, Isreal or Europe can do about it. It is not ideology that is driving this change, but cold pragmatism combined with the necessities of the rising global multipolarity.

Even committed US veterans can't stand the empty rhetoric of the Washington neocon elite anymore. Ukraine is a text-book example for a provoked war and the need for deescalation has never been bigger, but US imperialism stands in the way of that. Listen to the straight forward analysis of David T. Pyne, a former US army officer who dismantles the war-narrative his country's pro-war government and the NATO establishment have been touting from the rooftops of power for the past 3 years.

n his new book "The Ukraine War and the Eurasian World Order", Professor Glenn Diesen argues compellingly that the way the world used to work not only for the past century, but for the past 500 years is over and done with. From here on, the global system will be much more dynamic, multi-polar, and much more complex. Professor Diesen also shows how Ukraine has been a pawn in the hands of NATO warmongers who despite their best efforts, however, have not been able to break even one of their strategic rivals in the system. The time of Western impunity is ending. The question is, what comes next? Get his book from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Ukraine-War-Eu...

We just witnessed one of the biggest changes in middle eastern (or west asian) geopolitics in decades. Iran's highly targeted attack on Israel and the signalling towards the other Arab states, combined with its incredible diplomacy, allowed Tehran to brake free from US strangle-hold. This talk was recorded only hours before Israel's (limited) counter attack on Iran, in the morning hours of April 19. So far, it seems Ambassador freeman correctly predicted that Israel has to change its strategic calculations. Ambassador Chas Freeman was US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1990-92 and then became Assistant Secretary of Defense from 93-94. Ambassador Freeman's homepage: https://chasfreeman.net
