On this episode of Fault Lines, guests join hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan analyzing President Donald Trump’s foreign policy. Does this elevatation of Neoconservatives like John Bolton, Gina Haspel, et al to positions of authority signal a break from the non-interventionist / America First policies Trump promised during the 2016 campaign? What are the potential national security and international economic consequences of this new policy team taking hold?
The hosts and guests will also report on other important news the mainstream media won’t cover including the increasing tensions and violence in the Middle East, project Midterm Congressional elections, and speak with Ray McGovern—a renowned veteran intelligence expert—about his protest against Haspel for CIA Director at the Senate Intelligence Committee Hearings. They will also discuss other un- and under-reported news and issues in the “Divided States of America.”
