Israel the Obstacle to Nuke Deal Between Iran, West
by ‘Richard Walker’
Walker quotes Ray speaking in Berlin in September about Israel’s strong opposition a deal on Iran’s nuclear program. An agreement would make it possible for the U.S. and Iran to cooperate on a wide array of important issues, including confronting Islamic extremism. It is high time for the U.S. to “bury the hatchet” with Iran, despite the attitude of Israel, which is not a signatory to the Nonproliferation Treaty and already has an estimated 200 or so nuclear weapons of its own.
Missed Opportunity
On 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Ray talks candidly to the Real News Network about an historic missed opportunity for, in then President George H. W. Bush’s words, “a Europe whole and free” from Portugal to the Urals — and how Bill Clinton and his successors blew that opportunity. This is the direct antecedent to today’s dangerous confrontation in Ukraine. (18 min)
Ray on RT CrossTalk helps assess the factors behind rising tensions between the U.S. and Russia…particularly over Ukraine.
Ray notes that almost incredible reality that the Feb. 22, 2014 coup d’etat in Ukraine was forecast on YouTube more than two weeks before it happened. In a Feb. 6 YouTube posting of an unambiguous telephone conversation several days before, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland is heard telling the U.S. ambassador in Kiev, “Yats (Arseniy Yatsenyuk) is the guy who’s got the economic experience, the governing experience.” “Yats,” of course, immediately became prime minister, and is still PM today.

Speaking of which…
German General Harald Kujat (ret.) warns on TV against giving credence to claims ANYONE makes concerning Russian “aggression” against Ukraine.
“I have doubts; and it’s not only that we must be very careful about what the Russians say. We must be very careful about what the Ukrainians say, and, unfortunately, about what the West says.”
Kujat is not some kind of renegade general officer. He was Chief of Staff of the German armed forces from 2000 to 2002, and then Chairman of the NATO Military Committee from 2002 to 2005.
The TV program aired on Sept. 4; the video segment is one and a half minutes; includes short synopsis in English
