From GERMANY- Russia hosted an international security conference in Moscow, attended by 800 delegates from 76 countries, including the new Chinese Defense Minister, India, and Brazil. Putin led off accusing the West of fueling unrest around the world. Western nations did not attend, and the Western media barely reported the conference.
From GALLOWAY- George speaks with Scott Ritter, former US Marine Intelligence officer and United Nations weapons inspector who warned Congress that there were no WMDs in Iraq. Scott talks about why the colonial past led some African countries trusted the Wagner Group. He also talks about how a negotiated settlement in Ukraine will be portrayed in Western media, and the greed of weapons manufacturers exploiting the US budget.
