The David Hunter Perspective - 2022-12-07

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)Biden Says He is Willing to Talk Peace with Putin?:  Pres. Biden said he would be willing to talk to Putin about ending the war in Ukraine.  But Putin is insisting he will only talk if no preconditions are required, like his agreeing to withdraw from already captured and annexed territory.  So are 'peace talks' really possible?

2)Mysterious Blasts Occurred at Russian Strategic Bomber Bases?:  Four hundred miles inside Russia, several blasts have occurred at Russian air bases where bombers are located.  In one case, several Russians were killed.  Ukraine has hinted that some of the missiles fired at Ukraine are being returning to their firing bases to explode.   Does this mean Ukraine has taken control of some Russian rockets?

3)Pakistan Ambassador to Afghanistan Survives Assassination Attempt:   Pakistani Ambassador Ubed Nazammi narrowly escaped assassination inside his embassy compound in Kabul, Afghanistan.  He was grazed and one of his accompanying  guards was killed.  But aren't the Taliban and Pakistan friends?  So who shot at him?

4) Pearl Harbor Day---Are We Ready for Another Attack?:   The Dec. 7th  Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii was a 'wake up call' for Americans.   It showed we don't live in isolation.  Enemies can attack us at will. We were not prepared to fight.    What have we learned from this, and are we ready to respond to another surprise attack?
