Ramzy Baroud - The purpose of Palestinian protest

On FPF #331, I discuss the formation of a possible bipartisan antiwar coalition that works with Trump to end wars. The coalition would be made up of Republicans and Democrats often labeled as far-right or far-left members of their parties, like Ro Khanna and Rand Paul. Trump has expressed desires to end wars in Syria, Somalia, and Afghanistan. The coalition could work with Trump to ease sanctions on Russian and make a denuclearization agreement with North Korea.

On FPF #330, I discuss Secretary of Energy Rick Perry signing at least six secret agreements with Saudi to allow American companies to sell the kingdom nuclear technology. Saudi Arabia has rejected buying a civilian nuclear program with safeguards to limit the ability to make nuclear weapons. 

I update the ongoing Korean peace process. A copy of the extensive demands Trump gave to Kim at Hanoi has been released. It shows the US is demanding 'Libyan Style' denuclearization. Kim is unlikely to agree to that process. 

I explain my excitement for the 2020 DNC race. Some left-wing groups like MoveOn and candidates like Tulsi Gabbard are taking important anti-intervention positions.

Aaron Maté discusses the aftermath of the Russia investigation and what it's revealed about mainstream American journalists. In addition to seriously undermining media credibility, the obsession with possible Russian influence over the president has made it next to impossible for Trump to do anything that might be seen as helpful for Putin, like pulling troops out of Syria or pushing for nuclear detente.

Scott talks to Robert Naiman from Just Foreign Policy about the continued efforts to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led war and starvation campaign in Yemen. Naiman explains the complexities of the various types of bills and resolutions in the house and senate, and why it's been so hard to pass this kind of thing in the past. He says that if people want to help, the best thing they can do is to make phone calls to their senators and congressional representatives.

On FPF #329, I update the fallout from the Mueller probe, which resulted in no new indictments.

According to a recent poll, 48% of Americans continue to believe Trump - or his campaign - colluded with Russia. with only 9% changing their minds in light of Mueller's findings.

Sen. Rand Paul dropped a bombshell on the Russiagate story, alleging that John Brennan was behind the Steele Dossier's inclusion into the Intelligence Assessment. I explain Brennan's prominent role in the scandal and how helped lie to the American people.

Now the neocons in the Trump administration are doing what they can to promote such a war.
