Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.
1) Deposed Head of State of Burma Sentenced for 4 Years?: After being ousted by a Military Coup in Burma (Myamar) last February, Aung San Suu Kyi was found guilty in secret trial of charges of 'vote rigging' and 'inciting demonstrations'. The US Secretary of State just responded "The military regime’s unjust conviction of Aung San Suu Kyi and repression of democratically-elected officials are further affronts to democracy and rule of law in Burma” . What is going on?
2) Pres. Biden Holds Two- hour Video Talk w/ Vladimir Putin: The top subject is Ukraine. US intelligence reports that Russia is massing over 175,000 troops on it's border, including calling up reserves, in what looks like a planned invasion of Ukraine. Biden warned there will be a strong US and international response if Putin's troops invade their neighboring country. What can he do?
3) The Global Summit for Democracy: It's being held at end of this week with over 100 countries invited and is hosted by Pres. Biden. What are some of the programs he is promoting to strengthen Democracy around the world?
