Scott Ritter: Russia receives 400 new missiles, Putin’s fear covers Europe

Welcome to the Connecting the Dots podcast with Dr. Wilmer Leon. I’m Wilmer Leon. Here’s the point. We have a tendency to view current events as though they occur in a vacuum, failing to understand and to truly appreciate the broader historical context in which most of these events occur. During each episode of this program, my guests and I will have probing, provocative, and in-depth discussions that connect the dots between current events and the broader historic context in which they occur. This will enable you to better understand and analyze the events that impact the global village in which we live. On today’s episode, the questions are why are American neocons hell bent on starting a conflict with Russia? What’s going on in Ukraine? Who was Alexi Naval? And is NATO really still relevant? For insight into all of this let’s turn to my guest. He’s a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer who served in the former Soviet Union implementing arms control treaties in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm, and in Iraq overseeing the disarmament of WMD.
