The David Hunter Perspective - 2022-10-12

Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

1)  North Korea Testing Missiles and Simulates Tactical Nuclear Strike on South Korea:  This weekend, North Korea's dictator Kim Jung Un conducted his 40th missile test this year, and simulated a war-game that uses tactical nukes on South Korea and US bases there.  This is after a period of quiet for the last 4 years.   What do you think is happening?

2)  Ukraine's Strike on Kerch Bridge and Putin's Response:  Last week, an alleged 'truck bomb' struck the Kerch Bridge stretching the Kerch Straits linking Russia to Ukraine's annexed territory in Crimea. Crimea was invaded and annexed by Russia in 2014.  The bridge allows Russian troops, equipment and supplies to come to Crimea to fight against  Ukraine.  Was it a legitimate military target?  What response will Putin make? 

3) Putin's links with Shamanism and Genghis Khan? :   Putin and his cronies have been claiming that Ukrainians and even US and  NATO are 'Nazis' and most recently also 'Colonial Powers' trying to subjugate Russia.  He even  called the USA "Satanic".   But perversely,  Putin has reportedly engaged in shamanistic practices,  and admires bloody Genghis Khan as a role model.

4)  Is Russia supporting Neo-Nazi groups?:  The Slavic "White Nationalist and Neo-Nazi" group Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) has been active in training fighters for the war in Ukraine.  It operates openly in St. Petersburg, Russia.  Ironically, their troops are going to fight against what Putin calls the Ukrainian 'Nazis'.  What's going on?
