On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to former Special Assistant to US President Ronald Reagan and Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute Doug Bandow. He discusses Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Kamala Harris and the subsequent glee of Democrats after she received his endorsement, the US foreign policy establishment’s ignorance on their own hypocrisy seen by the rest of the world, the Arab Gulf States mending ties with Syria to the horror of the US, why a Harris presidency won’t mean much of a change in terms of foreign policy, and whether Donald Trump has learned from the foreign policy mistakes made in his first term, why Harris and the Democrats seem to not care about the rising risk of World War III and nuclear war with Russia, the transformation of Bill Burns from cautious diplomat warning against NATO expansion to publicly cheering on the proxy war against Russia through Ukraine as CIA director, the US, UK, and EU’s ‘disgusting policy’ of fighting to destroy Russia by sacrificing Ukrainian lives, the details of the settlement that should be negotiated to end the war, the disastrous self-sanctioning of the European countries and complete subservience to the US, why a Trump second term could have some benefits on foreign policy because of his anti-war instincts, his work in the Reagan administration, and why he believes the most important issue of our times is war and peace, and much more.
