UPDATE – Due to Google discontinuing Hangouts, I have updated plugins for Skype and OBS and we will do this stream Friday night at 9PM EST. Former US Diplomat Jim Jatras joins me to discuss his many articles, interviews and appearances, as well as his highly informed take on Russiagate, 2020, Ukraine, Orthodoxy and much more!
The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the recent New York Times editorial board which is calling on US President Trump to court Russian President Vladimir Putin away from his flourishing cooperation with Xi and China.
Journalist George Szamuely sums it up in this tweet:
Why do Western leaders, pundits and academics all continue to despise the remarkable progress in economic and strategic cooperation being made between Russia and China and with their neighbors?
In the past six years, Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China met each other for sustained conferences on no less than 30 occasions.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), a nuclear non-proliferation deal that was a signed agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and several other countries, appears to be scrapped.
Several news articles attest to this:

The spectre of nuclear war has long hung over the world like a nightmarish sword of Damocles offering humanity much cause for despair at the dual nature of science as a beautiful source of creative power that uplifts and ennobles on the one hand and acts as a harbinger of death and chaos on the other.
The U.S. State Department quietly announced over the weekend the defunding of a social media trolling project that targeted outspoken critics of the Trump administration’s foreign policy on Iran.
The Twitter account, @IranDisinfo, is run by the Iran Disinformation Project under the auspices of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), and “exposes and counters the nefarious influence of one of the world’s few remaining totalitarian regimes.”
