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) Daryia Dugina Is Assassinated in Moscow: Last week, the daughter of Putin's top ideologue, Alexander Dugin, was killed in a car bombing in Moscow. Ms. Daryia Dugina followed in her father's footsteps as promoter of Russian ultra-nationalism and Eurasian geo-politics. Was this a Ukrainian attack on Putin's senior ideologist---if so, why?
2) Pakistan's Former Prime Minister Imran Khan is Charged With Terrorism: Mr. Khan, who was forced out of office on a no confidence vote in April of this year, has just be charged with 'terrorism' for making incendiary remarks against the Pakistan government and military. But he has 10,000 supporters massing in the capital to demand the government drop this charge. What will happen?
3) Is Germany Now Facing the Consequences of Decades of Dependence on Russian Oil?: Germany is facing a long, cold winter, with shutdown of Russian gas pipelines which provide 65% of their gas supply. For years, experts have been warning of over dependence on Russian gas. But Germany kept buying it, since it was cheaper than diversifying. This helped make Germany the economic powerhouse of Europe. What happens now?
