The David Hunter Perspective - 2021-07-21

Will China buy Natural Gas from Iran?, Russian Human Rights group 'Team 29' being shut down, Iran's view of the Taliban Takeover of Afghanistan

Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

Today's Agenda

1) Will China buy Natural Gas from Iran?   The Wall Street Journal reported July 14th a worldwide surge in demand for natural gas.  Asia and particularly China are leading this.  Much is liquified natural gas (LNG) including some from USA.  But Iran has a huge supply,  w/  the world's second largest gas reserves after Russia.  Will China risk US sanctions to buy gas from Iran?

2) Iran's view of the Taliban Takeover of Afghanistan:  We usually focus on the US position in regard to a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, or on Pakistan's long-term support for the Taliban as it's way of offsetting threats of Greater Pashtunistan movement.  But we should remember that Afghanistan shares a long border w/ Iran.  And Iran has long historic ties to Afghanistan.  So what is their view of the coming Talibanization of Afghanistan?

3)  Russian Human Rights group 'Team 29' being shut down:  The legal experts in Russia who seek to defend human rights and aid those accused of 'state terrorism' by Putin's lawless judicial system, are now being shut down, w/ threats they are a 'terror organization'.   What's going on?

4) Who Pays for COVID Hospital Bills?  We are hearing that 99% of those now being hospitalized in US w/ COVID are not vaccinated.  And many are younger, aged 30-50  and requiring weeks in critical care.  That is a very expensive treatment, which could have been prevented w/ a simple 'jab' of vaccine.  So  if this willful negligence, or careless behavior, who should pay?
