This is a tragedy for America - Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern and Stephen Gardner discuss the Ukraine-Russia war and the Israel-Gaza conflict. Update On Ukraine, he says General Zelenskyy is right it's a stalemate and President Zelenskyy is delusional believing Ukraine can still win. McGovern argues Putin never sought to take over Ukraine but wanted to deter NATO expansion. He says a preliminary peace deal was reached in March but the U.S. pushed Zelenskyy to reject it and keep fighting while falsely claiming Russia was losing. On Gaza, McGovern condemns the genocide and ethnic cleansing, arguing diplomatic pressure, not military force, is needed but the U.S. roots for Israel unconditionally. He warns regional powers like Turkey may intervene if the slaughter continues, while U.S. posturing could spark conflict with Russia or Iran. McGovern ties Gaza to Netanyahu's political survival, believing he thinks unconditional U.S. support lets him prevail, not realizing how global power has realigned. McGovern also recounts past corruption like Morell using intelligence officials to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story. He argues real change requires citizens challenging the system, as power yields nothing without demand.
