NATO Summit Implications

On day after NATO summit Nima asked me to examine its implications for Biden, Trump, Zelensky, Putin. Orban’s initiative. How a modicum of trust between Obama & Putin thwarted open war in Syria & how it took the neocons only 6 months to destroy that trust.

 

Damn the Torpedoes, Full Missiles Ahead

June 28: Putin bemoans new US MOBILE missile system recently exercised in Denmark & Philippines. July 12: US/Germany say will deploy such intermediate-range, nuclear-capable missiles in 2026. Farewell to the restraint Reagan showed in banning such missiles

Don’t Let Them Hoodwink You, Mr. President

By Ray McGovern, July 11, 2024

Is there a better way than dangerous escalation to stave off total Russian victory in Ukraine? Briefing ‘President’ Scheer on the eve of NATO summit, I suggested, gingerly, that he talk to Hungary’s Viktor Orban rather than appear odd man out (after Orban’s talks over recent days with Zelensky, Putin, and Xi Jinping.) There is no sign that this happened while Orban was in Washington for the summit.

No one should be surprised that Orban is now headed to Mar-a-Lago to visit Donald Trump this evening.
