Putin Pontificates

Putin goes out on limb; repeats “opinion” that Trump “sincere” in ending Ukraine war. Defends Army’s attrition approach, even though it “not going as fast as some would like.” Nazis = THE problem. Proposes UN end-run around them. Speaks 36 min w/out notes.

Lawless Bombing and Possible War With Iran

A John McCain-esque “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb; Bomb Bomb Iran” (after Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya). Should lawless bombing of Yemen be looked on as the “warm-up band”? Will Trump let Netanyahu mousetrap him into calamitous war with Iran? You say it’s a toss-up? Yuck!

JFK and Other Delicate Issues

JFK dead in Dallas by 1:20pm. Air Force One left for DC at 3:00. White House call to AF One: “No conspiracy; Oswald identified/arrested”. DAMN QUICK WORK!!! That launched the real conspiracy. This and other delicate issues discussed, starting at min 23:10.

Working on Peace Despite Zelensky and Europe

John Helmer & I focus on the accelerated effort by Trump and Putin to work out agreement that will rein Zelensky in, talk sense into the Europeans, and meet Russia’s core defense interests. Also, will the US attack Iran on false (nuclear weapons) pretext?

No Reason to Attack No-Nuke Iran

Bob and Ray II : Pity Netanyahu & Mike Waltz. There’s nothing in Threat Assessment of US Intelligence Community to justify attack on Iran. Analysts are able to tell it like it is. Iran has no nukes; is not even working to get them; has not been since 2003!

Encouraging Developments in Ukraine

Bob and Ray II: The just-announced US-Russia agreement on Black Sea navigation AND reinstatement of the 30-day ban on attacks on energy infrastructure (starting back on March 18 when Trump and Putin agreed on it). Zelensky still a fly in the ointment.
