Fatal distraction: A foreign policy to obscure domestic problems
Not 100 days in, and the Biden administration is facing major domestic challenges. Could its sudden flurry of loud and contradictory foreign policy activity be calculated to distract the US public from problems like the border crisis and violent riots sweeping major cities across the US? News.Views.Hughes tackles the question. First, RT America’s Natasha Sweatte reports on the continuing crisis on the US-Mexico border. Then attorney Sara Papantonio and Ed Martin of Phyllis Shlafly Eagles share their insights. RT America’s John Huddy talks about the explosive civil unrest unfolding in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, where journalists and others in the media have been targeted by protesters, and where journalists have been detained for hours by police. Plus, Daniel McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute weighs in on the new round of sanctions Washington has leveled at Russia as well as the collapse of the "Russian bounties" claim made by the US intelligence community in 2020 and the revised withdrawal deadline for the US to leave Afghanistan.
