Welcome to Rhett Palmer with David Hunter in “The David Hunter Perspective” - Retired US Diplomat David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest and experience.
Today’s Agenda…
1) Biden gave Saudi Crown Prince an Slap on Wrist for Murder?: By releasing an intelligence finding recently, Biden revealed that Crown Prince Moh. bin Salman (MBS) was directly responsible for the brutal murder of Wash Post journalists Jamal Kashoggi. Biden had promised to hold Saudis 'accountable' for their misdeeds. He then announced sanctions on 76 Saudis involved in harassing activists and journalists, but he didn't announce any sanctions on the Crown Prince. Did Biden choke? What do you think?
2) Is China pursuing Natural Gas Supplies from Iran?: Will China turn to Iran for supplies of natural gas? What would be the geopolitical impact? How would this complicate US policy towards Iran?
3) Pope Francis visits Iraq, and the ancient city of Ur: Why did Pope Francis visit Iraq this last weekend. And why go to Ur, the supposed birthplace of Prophet Abraham? What did he hope to accomplish?
