Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.
1)Pres. Biden to Visit Saudi Arabia: Pres. Biden has announced that he will now go to Saudi Arabia, allegedly for a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) meeting, and is expected to meet King Salman together with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS). Biden had earlier said he would make Saudis a 'pariah' if they did not bring to justice the killers of Washington Post journalist Jamal Kashoggi. How is this meeting making Saudis a pariah?
2)Putin's Remarks at St. Petersburg Economic Conference: Russian Pres. Putin spoke for almost 80 minutes at his annual 'international economic' conference in St. Petersburg, Russia on June 17, 2022. Previously major CEOs from around the world attended as did heads of state from India, France, etc. This year he had a delegation from the Taliban in Afghanista, Cuba, Burma, Venezuela and Kazakhstan. What did he say at the meeting that might tell us his current thinking?
3)Is the 'Russian Imperial Movement' (RIM) a Far Right Neo-Nazi Group in Russia Being Supported by Putin?: The RIM has been defined by Stanford Univ. Center for International Security and Cooperation's Mapping Militant Organizations as an extreme right wing, white supremacy organization based in St. Petersburg, Russia. Founded in 2002, it supports Russian nationalism and fuels white supremacy groups in the West. It advocates for restoring the Russian 'tsarist' regime. Is Putin supporting neo-Nazi, white nationalist movements in Russia and world-wide? If so, why?
4)The Ukrainian Azov Battalion: Is it A Neo-Nazi Group? The Azov Battalion was formed in 2008 and became famous for waging fight against Russian invaders in Eastern Ukraine in 2015. Recently they had fought in Mariupol Ukraine and some have been captured. Are they Nazis, and should they be considered legal prisoners of war by Russia or 'terrorists'?
