Tensions continue to rise over the Ukrainian-Russian border and war in the Donbas is threatened. Moscow wants legally binding guarantees that the U.S. will not deploy more troops and military equipment to its borders, as well as an immediate halt to NATO\u2019s eastward expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connor covers the latest on the JCPOA talks. The U.S. claims Tehran is intransigent and not taking the negotiations seriously. Connor examines both sides&#8217; demands and argues that it is the Americans who refuse to engage in good faith. Tel Aviv is dispatching the head of the Mossad and the Israeli Defense Minister to Washington. Reportedly, they will push the U.S. to attack Iran, increase sanctions, and spread lies regarding Iran\u2019s supposed race to build a bomb. But the CIA Director has now announced Tehran is not seeking a nuclear weapon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kyle also breaks down the latest developments in Washington\u2019s multi-layered anti-China campaign. U.S. diplomats will boycott the next year\u2019s Beijing Winter Olympics over discredited and debunked claims that China is committing a \u201cgenocide\u201d against their Uighur population. Biden has set new records for how many spy planes the U.S. is flying in the South China Sea. Last month, 94 such sorties were recorded. Defense Chief Lloyd Austin has proclaimed the U.S. is a \u201cpacific power\u201d and there is even talk of expanding the AUKUS military pact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Subscribe on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCXsiX0NOIXbKLd8kNPbKjjQ\">YouTube<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/libertarianinstitute.org\/kyle\/conflicts-of-interest-198-biden-putin-talk-as-nato-looks-east\/\">audio-only<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MMtX4ZASTEw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On COI #198, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman update the Iran talks, tensions in eastern Europe, and America\u2019s Cold War with China.
