The David Hunter Perspective - 2022-10-26

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)UK Has A New Prime Minister --Again?: Back in July 2022, PM Boris Johnson was forced to step down, because he had lost the trust of his party. The conservative party chose Liz Truss to replace him, and she was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II on Sept 6th. By Oct 20th, after she backed a disastrous economic plan which crashed the markets, she had resigned. Now her former finance minister, Rishi Sunak, has been chosen to replace her, after he just 'stabbed her in back' by resigning from her government. What does all this mean?

2)Is The International Criminal Court a Mockery of Justice? The ICC, as it is called, is sort of tasked with bringing Russian war crimes to justice. But can this UN backed tribunal really gather evidence and prosecute Russian war criminals in a timely manner? What is it, how is it funded and staffed? Does the US support it's effort?

3)Is Russia Supporting Neo-Nazi Groups?: The Slavic white nationalist "Russian Imperial Movement" (RIM) has been actively training neo-Nazi fighters for the war against Ukraine. It operates openly in St. Petersburg, Russia. Ironically their troops are going to fight against so called 'neo Nazi Ukrainians'. What is going on?

4)Is Putin's New General Planning A Mass Causality Event in Kherson, Ukraine?: Newly appointed General Surovikin (SURO-VIK-IN) , in charge of all Russian activity in Ukraine, has the nickname 'Armageddon'. He is known as ruthless, with little regard for human life. There are fears he may try to use a 'mass casualty event' to turn the tide of Russia's defeat in Kherson, or divert attention from the loss. What possible actions might he take? What can the US and NATO do to deter him?
