General Philip Breedlove, Hacked Emails, Ukraine Policy
Hacked emails from former NATO Supreme Commander Philip Breedlove reveal he was privately lobbying to arm the Ukrainian government against President Obama's wishes. The correspondence shows Breedlove working with officials like Victoria Nuland to escalate the conflict and bypass the White House's reluctance to provide lethal aid.
Putin, Ukraine, and Russian Military Encroachment
General Philip Breedlove and NATO officials report Russian tanks and troops moving across the Ukrainian border. While Russia denies military involvement, Al Jazeera reports that the message is intended for a domestic audience to avoid public backlash over Russian casualties in the conflict.
Nuclear Capable Machinery and NATO Propaganda
NATO Commander Philip Breedlove warns that Russia is moving "nuclear-capable" equipment into Crimea, including MiG fighters and Tupolev bombers. The hosts argue that "nuclear-capable" is a meaningless propaganda term used by CNN and Wolf Blitzer to escalate fears of war, noting that almost any military vehicle could technically be modified for such a mission.
Stephen Cohen, NATO Military Incursion Claims
Professor Stephen Cohen challenged reports from NATO General Philip Breedlove regarding Russian military provocations, noting that previous claims of incursions by Sweden and the UK were proven false. Cohen argues that NATO's expansion toward Russian borders is the primary driver of the crisis. The discussion also touches on the role of Swedish intelligence as a proxy for U.S. interests.
