Summary
Secret documents appear to reveal the internal assessments of Pentagon officials regarding the war in Ukraine, the extensive US direction of the proxy war, and how even its close allies are not safe from U.S. spying.
Brian is joined by Walter Smolarek, editor of Liberation News and producer of this show, to help explain and dissect what’s going on in Ukraine, the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline, and recent inflammatory coverage of China.
