Breaking Points   Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the rampant propaganda on Iran protests.   

Danny Haiphong   Iran is ready for war, and its hypersonic ballistic missile system could destroy Israel & US military presence forever says Scott Ritter who joined the show to break down the consequences of Trump's march to war with Iran. The former UN Weapons Inspector does a deep dive into Iran's readiness and why it should terrify Trump & Israel together. 

Middle East Eye   David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye , explains why, by standing up to Abu Dhabi, Riyadh is reshaping the Middle East. Abu Dhabi’s policy of strengthening the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Yemen to the point where it could declare itself an independent state that recognised Israel was close to becoming a reality. All the STC needed was to take control of two sparsely populated but geographically vast provinces in the east of the country: al-Mahra and Hadhramaut, which together account for nearly half of Yemen’s territory. Hadhramaut shares a border with Saudi Arabia, and the appearance of the STC in the provincial capital, Mukalla, marked the wake-up call Riyadh needed. 

globinfo freexchange   There’s a lot of interest in terms of agitating for instability in Iran from people who are pretending to care about the Iranian people, but who actually couldn’t care less about the Iranian people.   Lots of Western commentators who are posturing about being concerned about human rights in Iran are people in think tanks funded by other dictatorships and repressive tyrants in the same region. Anybody in their right mind who ever takes seriously pronouncements from official Washington that they’re motivated by anger over repression or a defense of the political rights of people in other countries is incredibly naive at best, to put that generously. Human rights is not actually something the U.S. government believes in. It is a cudgel that it uses to undermine and bash countries that don’t serve its interests. They use denunciations of human rights abuses to undermine and weaken governments that are contrary to their agenda, like in Iran, while at the sa...

globinfo freexchange   A possible annexation of Greenland by the US under Trump regime, will essentially mark the dissolution of NATO alliance. Assuming that the creepy orange clown is not particularly interested to secure the unity of NATO, such a development will not stop him to do the unthinkable.    The weak and far below average European leaders can't do anything to stop him, so it seems that Denmark will have to simply accept its fate and lose Greenland forever. There is, however, a strong card that Denmark could play to prevent the loss of its arctic colony: Russia. We can easily assume that the Danish leadership already sends signals to the US imperialists, that the annexation of Greenland will lead to implications far beyond the dissolution of NATO. The Danish could push things to the edge as a kind of retaliation, by inviting the Russians to build a military base on Danish soil, and therefore, right at the heart of Europe and next to the German borders. Such a s...

Geopolitical Economy Report  Donald Trump claims he will "run" Venezuela, after he bombed it and abducted President Nicolás Maduro. However, his plan makes no sense -- and will likely blow back on the USA. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez is still independent, and not cutting off China. US sanctions devastated Venezuela's oil infrastructure, and its heavy crude is expensive to produce -- and not profitable, amid a global supply glut. Ben Norton explains.

Danny Haiphong   Donald Trump has ordered an emergency meeting with his cabinet as he weighs striking Iran amid increasingly deadly protests which threaten to destabilize the government. Geopolitical analyst Elina Xenophonotos breaks down the revelations of deep Israeli involvement in the so-called protest movement and whether Iran is prepared for round 2 of war fast approaching. 

Cyrus Janssen   Trump has launched a military operation in Venezuela and is trying to take over the country's oil reserves. Trump thinks this will benefit the United States in the long term but in reality Trump is destroying the United States reputation on the world stage. China will be seen as the more reliable, trusted, and rules abiding world power. 

Katie Halper   Chris Gilbert from Caracas and Bolivia-based reporter Ollie Vargas tell us what they are seeing on the ground Venezuela. 

Geopolitical Economy Report   To justify bombing Venezuela and abducting President Nicolás Maduro, Donald Trump falsely accused him of leading the so-called "Cartel de los Soles". But the US Department of Justice was forced to admit that this "Suns Cartel" doesn't exist. The USA lied -- while the CIA actually has trafficked drugs in Latin America. Ben Norton reports.
