Putin's Victory Day Parade on Red Square, Navalny's Case, Republicans removing Liz Cheney from House Leadership,
Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.... and a whole lot more.
Today's Agenda
1) Russian Doctors Dead?: Several doctors that treated Alexi Navalny, ---the opposition leader in Russia,--- for Novochok poisoning in August 2020, have now mysteriously died. Obviously Putin, who has denied the poisoning attempt using an illegal nerve agent, was not happy Navalny survived , and later had him arrested on trumped up charges. So is Putin retaliating against the Russian doctors that saved Navalny's life?
2) Status of Navalny's Case: After he returned to Russia, Alexi Navalny was arrested at the airport and taken to jail for violating 'condition of parole' by not contacting his parole officer while he was in Germany almost dying of chemical weapons-grade poison. What is the latest on Mr. Navalny and his lawyer?
3) Putin's Victory Day Parade on Red Square: On May 9th, Putin presided over a Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square. Did they reveal any new major weapons system? Should we be worried?
4) Republicans removing Liz Cheney from House Leadership: Today the House Republicans are voting to remove Ms. Cheney from her position as head of House Leadership. She voted to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the Jan 5th riot. Republican Kevin McCarthy and others say that move was defecting from true Republican values. Cheney says she had no choice since Trump attempted to overturn the Constitutional process for our elections. What do you think ?
