Is Russia About to Invade Ukraine?, Upcoming Presidential Elections in Brazil, US Pulling Patriot Missiles out of Saudi Arabia
Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.
1) Is Russia About to Invade Ukraine?: The Ukrainian chief of Military Intelligence, Brigadier General Budanov, stated on Nov 20, 2021 that he expects Russia to attack Ukraine again next January or February. The conflict, which began in 2014, already has seen some 14,000 Ukrainian troops killed. Putin has just moved 93,000 Russian troops back to the border of Ukraine, after withdrawing them last Summer. Does Putin might think Biden is weak after the Afghanistan defeat and US and NATO won't respond?
2) Upcoming Presidential Elections in Brazil?: In 2022 Brazil will hold next Presidential Election. The current Pres. Jair Bolsanaro is a far-right conservative populist running against far-left socialist Lula de Silva. Silva, a former President, was imprisoned on corruption charges in 2017 by Bolsonaro's supporter. But all charges were dropped by Brazil's Supreme Court and he is free to run. Recent polls show Lula likely to win, and so Pres. Bolsanaro is claiming the election will be 'rigged' if he loses. Steve Bannon is giving him advice. What do you think?
3) US Pulling Patriot Missiles out of Saudi Arabia: Why did the Biden Administration suddenly withdraw Patriot Missile defenses from Saudi Arabia, after Trump had just sent two Patriot batteries there in 2019? Is it a signal the US no longer sees Saudi Arabia as an important ally?
