The David Hunter Perspective - 2023-07-19

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.<br/><br/>1)Problems In Russian Military High Command?: Last week, the 48 yr old Russian Major-General Ivan Popov (aka Gen. Spartacus) openly criticized the senior Russian Senior Military Command, echoing the same type complaints made by Russian paramilitary Wagner Group leader Prigozhen a month earlier. Prigozhen recently led an open revolt against the Russian military and Pres. Putin. General Popov was just removed from his senior command Does this signal a rupture within the Russian military?<br/><br/>2)Russia's Kerch Straits Bridge Attacked Again: On July 17th, Ukraine successfully attacked the massive $4 billion Kerch Straits Bridge connecting Russia to Crimea, closing down automobile traffic until at least September. It was being used to bring Russian military equipment and supplies into Crimea. In response to the attack, Putin is cutting off further Ukraine grain shipment through the Black Sea, which could lead to starvation in Africa. What is going on?<br/><br/>3)Turning Point USA Meeting: 'Turning Point Action'----a tax exempt 'student activist group' with a pro-Trump conservative agenda----- hosted a conference in West Palm Beach FL, last week. At the gathering, Presidential candidate Donald Trump gave a speech, calling the 'deep state' the greatest danger to American's freedom. He also said if he wasn't elected President, the US was going to inherit a 'fascist state' run by 'criminals'. Is he just using scare tactics to mobilize his base? What does "fascist state' really mean?
