Inflection EP29: NATO Aggression Puts All of Europe at Risk
Week of 23-29, 2022
Tensions continue to rise between the United States and Russia over Ukraine - a nation the US overthrew the elected government of in 2014 and has attempted to incrementally integrate into its policy of encircling and containing Russia ever since.
Angelo and Brian discuss the background of this conflict, how even the US across its own media admits many of the myths repeated about Russia in the Western media are false and where this might lead.
Inflection is a weekly show featuring Angelo Giuliano and Brian Berletic, discussing recent headlines and in-depth discussion of topics shaping the shift from West to East and unipolarism to multipolarism.
