Brian Berletic and Angelo Guiliano are some of the most pragmatic commentators out there. Angelo makes short mention of years back in Africa, where the west was already fighting the USSR at the time, in Africa. I saw some of that, but must say that neither of those sides did me any favors.

This is a wide-ranging and interesting discussion.

They talk about the noticeable change in rhetoric vis a vis Ukraine and the almost certain loss of NATO appearing now. This discussion serves as a good line in the sand in terms of where we stand now, seeing we are moving to the first anniversary of the SMO in Ukraine. I remember all the analysts and commentators saying how quickly Ukraine would be overrun by Russian forces. It was three days, or six days or a week or two … well, certainly for myself I learned who to take seriously and who not. These days, if we do not look at the complete state of the world, we will be losing the big picture and lose our perspective.

The conversation ranges toward the situation in Syria. Brian presents a video where the US clearly says they will deny the Sirian people the opportunity to rebuild their country. The world is seeing with shock how bad it is in reality.  The discussion then takes a direction to Asia, where they believe another proxy war is already being waged.
