In major strategic move, UAE says it has withdrawn from USA led Persian Gulf maritime coalition.

☆ The announcement has come amid tensions between #UAE and #US about UAE's growing military ties with #China.

☆ US has constantly been "warning" the Emirati government of Chinese military presence in UAE that could 'hinder ties' between US & UAE.

☆ President #Biden invited UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed a year ago, but Bin Zayed has still not visited US due to the political tensions between the two countries.

☆ Instead, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed chose to visit #Russia in October last year.

☆ The visit was considered a move by UAE to seek new allies in the region & get itself out of the American 'camp'.

A few megalomaniac wankers and their jeering mob dictate today's politics.
The #us has to learn from the #war in #ukraine. Profit can only be made if you fight the weak!

Douglas Macgregor joins us to discuss what is going on in Ukraine in this breaking news update.
Macgregor gives his assessment of where things stand on the ground. They talk about the astounding casualty numbers and the horrifying nature of the battle over #Bakhmut. Macgregor then gives some predictions for the next stages of the war. They talk about the rising tension with China. They agree there is no need to go to war with #China but discuss what may explain the sudden attention shift towards #Beijing. Lastly, they talk about the effects of cronyism in the weapons industry and the probability of a nuclear war.

Douglas Macgregor is concerned about the future of the United States and Europe. He stresses the need for nations to work together. Interesting and probably honest views on the conflict in Ukraine and American policy. I don't agree with all of his views, but the interview provides details on the current problems.
