Israel is having a race war.” Freeman's important voice makes this an episode of Useful Idiots you're not going to want to miss.

We discuss the reality of what is going on between Russia and Ukraine and what impact it could have on the rest of the world. Might we be on the brink of nuclear war? And for many decades, the impact on US policy that Israel has is very out of proportion. Why is this? There are a segment of people in the US who believe Israel is a Holy Land. There are some Christians who believe the current State of Israel is the same as the Israel of the Bible. Jim and I discuss this, and he gives us the correct Orthodox Christian view on Israel.

A top United States diplomat says New Zealand could eventually become a member of the AUKUS defence alliance, talking up this country's strategic importance at end of week-long tour around the Pacific. US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman met Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern yesterday and described relations between the countries as "incredibly valuable". Corin Dann asked her if defence ties could become closer given China's increased interest in the Pacific and, in particular, whether there was potential for New Zealand to join the AUKUS security pact between the US, UK and Australia.

Hillary and Tina cover former US House Congressman for Illinois Mel Reynolds and US Diplomat John Patterson. Hillary's Story US House Congressman for Illinois, Mel Reynolds, gained notoriety for his work on the Ways and Means committee, NAFTA, and gun control. BUT when he faced not one but two scandals, he tarnished his once polished political reputation. Tina's Story US diplomat John Patterson served as a vice consul in Mexico after attending the Foreign Services training program. BUT when he was abducted, the FBI didn't believe anything bad had really transpired; they were wrong.

HALCs Executive Director Endy Zemenides joins our host Thanos Davelis to discuss Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland's trip to Turkey, Greece, and Cyprus, which unfortunately was marked by a major gaffe Nuland make while in Cyprus - where she referred to the Turkish Cypriot leader as “president”. We break down why this demonstrates the need for Biden administration officials to get the facts on Cyprus straight. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Back to school: Cyprus 101Έντι Ζεμενίδης: Δεν έχει αλλάξει η αμερικανική πολιτική σε σχέση με το ενδεχόμενο πώλησης F16 στην ΤουρκίαFocus on LNG, not pipelines, US official tells KathimeriniGreek PM warns of populism if Europe fails to tackle energy crisisGreece gets 3.6 billion euros from European recovery fund

Support Pushback: https://www.patreon.com/aaronmate Chas Freeman, a retired senior US diplomat, analyzes Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the US role, and the geopolitical fallout. "Everything we are doing, rather than accelerate an end to the fighting and some compromise, seems to be aimed at prolonging the fighting," Freeman says. Guest: Chas Freeman. Veteran U.S. diplomat and public servant who has served in many senior positions, including as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Director for Chinese Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, and as the principal US interpreter during President Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972.

Marie Yovanovitch, former US Ambassador to Ukraine, testified before congress back in November of 2019 about the notorious phone call during which then President Trump trashed her to the new President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. He commented that she would, in Trump's words be "going through some things." It was the moment that the world first heard from Yovanovich, a veteran US Diplomat who had devoted her career to serving the former Soviet Republics, and in the process becoming one the country's leading experts on Ukraine only to be dumped as ambassador because she was not perceived as promoting the corrupt interests of the American President and his cronies. She's now written a book that imparts what she learned about Ukraine and about Vladimir Putin's Russia. Lessons that are all the more important in the wake of Russia's brutal invasion. As Ukraine remains under siege and millions of its citizens flee for safety, we'll talk to Yovanovich about what those lessons were and what Americans should know about them.
