Ray McGovern : What Happens Next? - Iran Situation ExplainedSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this convo conducted late on February 26, Helena's guest was Ray McGovern, a long-time peace activist, and before that a high-level Soviet-affairs analyst for the CIA. McGovern shared the reasons why, for some time now, he has thought Pres. Trump is very unlikely to launch the much-touted (and much-feared) aggression against Iran.  He also shared his analysis of the role Russian Pres. Putin plays in the background of the Iran crisis, the declining strength of Israeli leverage over Trump, and more.This conversation was the third in Part 2 of Just World Ed's ongoing "Gaza & the World" project, which is tracking the still-simmering crisis between the United States and Iran.

In today's explosive episode, we dive deep into the fight for election transparency, foreign interference, and government accountability. We examine how institutional secrecy erodes public trust and endangers democracy. When government institutions withhold critical information, citizens are left in the dark, unable to make informed decisions. This erosion of transparency fosters cynicism, fear, and disengagement, weakening the very foundations of democratic governance.  Our special guest, Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and activist, joins the conversation to provide his unique insight on intelligence, geopolitical tensions, and the Ukraine conflict. From the buildup to the war in Donbas to the suppression of critical early warnings, McGovern sheds light on what citizens and policymakers need to understand about global security, foreign influence, and the necessity of accurate, unbiased intelligence. We also explore the impact of foreign actors on U.S. politics, with reports on Israel's influence in domestic affairs raising questions about sovereignty and accountability. The show also covers the case of Tina Peters, former Mesa County Clerk, who remains imprisoned for exposing election irregularities. Her situation highlights the dangers of selective prosecution and the suppression of political dissent. With her health deteriorating and appeals ongoing, Peters' case has become emblematic of the broader struggle for justice, transparency, and the preservation of American freedoms. This episode is essential listening for anyone committed to defending liberty, uncovering the truth, and holding powerful institutions accountable.

Welcome to another compelling edition of the Bob and Ray Show, where insightful journalism meets deep expertise. I'm your host, Robert Scheer, joined by Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst with a rich background in Russian affairs. With 27 years at the CIA and a knowledge base that spans decades, Ray is uniquely positioned to dissect the intricacies of international relations, particularly concerning Russia and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.In today's episode, we delve into the recent Alaska summit, a meeting many pundits dismissed as inconsequential, labeling it a “nothing burger.” But as we'll discuss, both President Trump and President Putin emerged from the summit with differing takes, raising critical questions about the shifting power dynamics on the global stage. Trump proclaimed the discussions a success, while Putin appeared to reinforce his position of strength, particularly regarding the Ukraine conflict.As we explore this topic, we'll reflect on the changing landscape of power relations, the implications of Trump's negotiating stance, and the broader ramifications for U.S. foreign policy. Join us as we unpack these complex issues, challenge prevailing narratives, and consider what this means for the future of international diplomacy and the Ukrainian people caught in the crossfire.
