On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Paul Craig Roberts, former US Assistant Treasury Secretary for Economic Policy under Ronald Reagan and former Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal. He discusses why the US under Donald Trump continues to supply intelligence to Ukraine despite pursuing an end to the NATO-Russia proxy war, the grip of the neoconservatives on American foreign policy, why he believes Ukraine’s Zelensky is ‘finished’, the US-Russia diesel deal and why it was struck, how Iran handed Trump a midterm victory on a silver platter only to be met with rejection and more bombing threats, why he believes Benjamin Netanyahu orchestrated October 7th, how Ronald Reagan defied the Israel lobby, the ongoing protests in France and Western Europe, the prospect of the Democrats sweeping the midterm elections, and much more.
