On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to former Soviet analyst at the CIA Melvin Goodman. In a heated discussion, he discusses Seymour Hersh’s bombshell story that the US bombed the Nordstream pipelines, the persecution of Julian Assange, the Saudi Arabia-Iran peace deal brokered by China, why the US’ Cold War-style containment policies cannot work against China, why he believes the Russia-Ukraine proxy war was provoked, his criticisms of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s conduct in the war in Ukraine amidst the ICC indictment and much more.
