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

1)  President Biden is traveling to Europe for NATO Special Meeting: NATO called an emergency meeting this week of it's members top leaders to discuss member responses to Russia's attack on Ukraine.  Biden will also attend a G-7 meeting, and afterwards go to Poland on March 25th for meeting with Pres. Duda.  He is not planning to cross into Ukraine's territory.  What is going on? 

2)  Beautiful Russian journalist   Marina Ovsyannikova Protests:   Ms. Ovsyannikova, an editor at Channel One TV in Russia,   held up a sign during broadcast of top news  program, saying Stop the War and Don't Believe Putin's Propaganda.  This was one of the most open protests against what Russia is calling a  'special military operation' not a war.  Putin is repressing his citizens from knowing the truth, and arresting protesters against  the war, calling them scum and traitors.  Will Russians continue to oppose Putin?  How can we help them? 

3) Russia Announced this Week it Used Hypersonic Missiles in Combat: They said they used a Khinzal hypersonic missile in attacking Ukraine military targets.  Was this because Ukraine has been so successful in shooting down Russia's traditional speed missiles?  Why else would they use it?  

4)  Biden Administration is Warning US of Russian Cyber-attack:  The White House warned on March 21, 2022 that US companies should batten down their cybersecurity systems in anticipation of a forthcoming cyber-attack by Russia against US 'infrastructure'.  What might that be,...  and how would the US retaliate?

5)  President Biden openly called Putin a "War Criminal":  Last week in response to an question Biden said Putin was a war criminal.  Secretary of State Blinken agreed with that, saying anyone who bombs innocent civilians, women and children is committing war crimes.  Putin's  Foreign Minister Lavrov called in US Ambassador to Russia Sullivan and declared Biden's remarks were 'unstatesman like'.  Who is right?
