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) Beautiful Russian Journalist Who Protested the Russian Invasion Now Charged With Crimes: Marina Ovsyannikova was earlier just punished with a slap on the wrist for actions taken on Channel One News, but is now looking at charges in Russian court that could lead to 10 years in jail. What is going on?
2) Burma leader Aung San Suu-Kyi Already in Prison is Sentenced to Additional Six Years by Military Junta: Ms. Suu-Kyi was already sentenced to 11 years and held in solitary confinement, as former democratically elected leader of Burma, after a military coup overthrew her victory in elections in 2020. Now the Military Court has added six more years for a 'new crime'. Why?
3) Will Brazil's November Election End With Claims of Fraud?: The election campaign just officially started in Brazil for President. The current President, Jair Bolsonaro, is lagging in the polls for November's Presidential Elections. But he claims he cannot lose, and if he does, it will be due to massive fraud. He is saying his election bid can have only three outcomes: Prison, Death or Victory. Will he accept a defeat if he loses?
4) Can former Pres. Trump Keep Top Secret Documents? : Trump took highly classified documents with him to Mar a Lago when he left the White House. The FBI just raided his estate there, seizing these Top Secret and Secret documents. It's unclear why he took them. He now claims he had already 'declassified them' so it was not improper for him to keep them there. Is he right?
