0:00.0	Hey everyone, this is moderate rebels. I'm Ben Norton. This episode is part of a live stream
0:10.4	interview that I did with my co-host, Max Blumenthal, and our colleague at the Grey Zone,
0:16.3	Aaron Mate. We discussed the hawkish foreign policy of the Biden administration and how the U.S. has been
0:24.5	pushing Ukraine toward war with Russia as part of a NATO proxy war on Moscow, and just how
0:32.3	dangerous this is, how it's devastated the country of Ukraine, but also risks potentially World War III and a massive
0:39.9	global conflict. This is part of a larger discussion that we had as part of our live stream,
0:45.1	and we divided it into multiple parts. There's also a part on the Cold War on China. There's also
0:51.0	a part on Syria regime changers, smearing the anti-war movement, and more.

1:29.6	I've seen people joking that the only real difference between Mike Pompeo and Anthony Blinken is
1:35.2	as a diet. So it's been pretty incredible to see just how hawkish the Biden administration has
1:42.9	been. So I'm wondering, we can just start there. And there's a lot
1:45.4	of issues we want to talk about today. But what do you what do you guys think about the current
1:49.1	situation? Well, first of all, welcome to our manel. And you know, we're going to man up with
2:00.5	Ajit later on.
2:02.9	Ajit Singh, great contributor to the gray zone.
2:07.6	But, yeah, and if you came here by way of Twitter via our Twitter card, then you saw, I hope you picked me out of our criminal lineup.
