Well, not just a treat but a veritable feast of heart-warming, confidence building, viewpoint verifying, outlook affirming, news and confirmative assurance from - and 'in full flight' - Geopolitical Analyst, Pepe Escobar. Skillfully providing the setting and background to that, is interviewer Danny Haiphong (The Left Lens broadcast). Rarely does such an interviewer take a... Continue Reading →
The Quiet Rehearsal
While world focus is on events taking place in Eastern Europe and West Asia, another stealthy (in terms of not being loudly broadcast) operation is being undertaken further east in Chinese coastal waters.
