Ray McGovern: Trump Opens Iran-Arab Talks - Putin Says 'No Russian Threat' — While EU Braces for War

•

This interview dives into critical geopolitical shifts and historical accountability. Key topics include the Iran-Gulf states dialogue, the psychological profile of US leadership, and the ongoing lack of accountability for past wars of aggression. The discussion highlights the Houthis' resilience, escalating European rhetoric on Russia, and warnings that EU troops in Ukraine would mean direct war. It also examines recent US-Russia negotiations, contrasting Western economic "prosperity plans" with Moscow's core demand for a new European security architecture. Finally, the conversation revisits 9/11, questioning the official narrative, intelligence foreknowledge, and how the tragedy was weaponized to justify the invasion of Iraq.
