With things moving fast now in the Middle East and the BRICS, this update from Pepe Escobar (around Russia and the BRICS) and Scott Ritter (on the Middle East, Ukraine, and the politics of Nuclear First Strike) won't be welcomed by everybody, but is nevertheless important.
Who would have thought that in 2024 we would be concerned about the outbreak of a pre-emptive nuclear strike between the two superpowers? Oh yes we are, and Scott Ritter is probably the most experienced commentator on such matters having been a UN inspector of the arms limitation agreement with the then Soviet Union.
And you get two for the price of one, with the first 62 minutes covered by Pepe and the remaining 80 minutes by Scott Ritter.
The first video starts with Pepe (and continues with Scott), the second is the second section covering Scott Ritter only, for those that find that split convenient.
