On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Gilbert Doctorow, Author of ‘Does Russia Have a Future?’ and former visiting scholar at the Harriman Institute at Columbia University. He discusses US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s remarks stating that there won’t be NATO membership for Ukraine and that Ukraine has to give up land in a negotiated settlement, the ignorance and ill-informed decision-making of US and European leaders regarding the Ukraine proxy war, Donald Trump’s various cabinet picks such as General Kellogg who disagree with his foreign policy positions, and the lies the US leadership has been told by the intelligence agencies and mainstream media. He also discusses why the US’ plan to mine the rare earth minerals of Ukraine is not viable, why a total Russian victory is looming, which may derail Trump’s plan for a ceasefire, the UK’s empty threats against Russia over Ukraine and the danger Britain faces, Trump’s plan for Gaza and seemingly taking war with Iran off the table for now, and much more.
