  • Ukraine vs Russia: The Real Nuclear Threat is NOT what you think.

    Ukraine vs Russia: The Real Nuclear Threat is NOT what you think.
    Oct 27 2024
    Welcome to the Jay Martin Show. In this week's episode, Serhii Plokhii, a professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard, explores the complex historical and geopolitical roots of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He emphasizes that the struggle is deeply tied to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Russia’s ambitions to reclaim influence over its former territories, with Ukraine being a crucial component of this agenda. Plokhii highlights that the greater nuclear threat lies not in weapons but in the vulnerability of nuclear power plants in conflict zones, which could trigger catastrophic events.

  • Is Blackrock Bankrolling the War in Ukraine & Middle East?

    Is Blackrock Bankrolling the War in Ukraine & Middle East?
    Oct 18 2024
    Today on the Jay Martin Show, retired army colonel Douglas Macgregor offers a critical analysis of U.S. foreign policy, highlighting the influence of wealthy donors and oligarchs in shaping national decisions. He argues that America’s involvement in conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East is driven not by public interest but by the financial incentives of a few powerful figures. Macgregor emphasizes that American democracy is compromised by this donor control, and that wars in Ukraine and the Middle East serve the interests of corporate elites rather than the American public. He also discusses how media manipulation and government corruption further perpetuate this system, leading to unnecessary military interventions. Finally, Macgregor touches on the geopolitical implications of these conflicts, suggesting that the U.S. is courting major wars while ignoring its own domestic issues, and warns of the possible financial collapse looming on the horizon.
