Ray McGovern, the 27-year CIA officer and chair of the National Intelligence Estimates-turned antiwar agitator, joins Trip the Beltway Fantastic this week to talk about how the United States has deferred to Israel’s regional agenda for decades, and under Donald Trump has cleaved the two nation’s foreign policies together in dangerous ways, leaving us in a seemingly irreconcilable conflict with Iran.
Ray touches on a explosive new report this week about how Congress is trying to shift U.S. aid to Israel into the shadows, creating co-production and other “cooperation” agreements with the Israeli military. We also talk about AIPAC and its influence on Capitol Hill, the dwindling support for Israel among the American public, and how national figures like Mike Pompeo appear to be serving as mouthpieces for special interests including Israel and the military industrial complex.
