Ray McGovern is a man of integrity and courage. Rare indeed. Thanks for having him on.

Thank you for having the "youngster" on your show, Steve. Great show.

McGovern is a national treasure!

Ray is terrific

An eye-opener. Wish Ray cGovern also commented on Seymour Hersh's Nord Stream pipeline reports.

Many of the world's problems stem from one group considering themselves superior to another and denying the rights or existence of others, believing that they are entitled to more than others. These divisions can be based on race, gender, class, politics, nationality, culture, generation, education, ability, and geography. One group even has a written agreement with God that grants them special privileges and land. All of these divisions are caused by a scarcity mindset, which is characterized by fear of losing something, anxiety about not having enough, insecurity about lacking security, and greed for more. This mindset always strives for a win-lose outcome, where one's gain is someone else's loss. As Obama's Pivot to Asia suggests, "If over a billion Chinese citizens have the same living patterns as Australians and Americans do right now, then all of us are in for a very miserable time. The planet just can't sustain it." This scarcity mindset often leads to war, military action, colonization, slavery, and exploitation. However, these divisions can be mitigated by adopting an abundance mindset, which is characterized by cooperation, resource-sharing, and win-win outcomes. It is possible to avoid war by using tools such as trade, commerce, diplomacy, and connectivity. The United States is considered a highly developed country; however, it grapples with numerous challenges. These include economic inequality, inflation, stagnant real wages spanning the last forty years, expensive healthcare, a costly education system, a staggering student loan debt totaling $1.7 trillion with an average balance of $38,000, racial inequality, mass incarceration, militarization of police, deteriorating infrastructure, housing affordability issues, homelessness, the opioid epidemic, and gun violence. Instead of prioritizing the welfare of their people, they meddle in other countries to spread their version of democracy.

Ray is a master story teller a modern day bard

Steve: Just found your channel. Great dialogue with Ray.. ! I've heard his seasoned commentary on various platforms before, and you've brought out many depths of his experiential knowledge that I've not heard until now. Looking forward to perusing more of your work.. ! 😎

If only our government heads of foreign affairs were handled by a man of integrity like Ray McGovern. God bless this man!

Would be great if you could get Dr. Koonin as guest!

R and C have decided to sink or float together. That is the strength of their relationship facing up to US. After all , US has many allies to help it along as the hegemon. It is no loss for R and C to have its own set of allies.

Ray appears on the Judging Freedom podcast every Monday and Friday early afternoon, I cannot recommend this podcast...

*Enough....

Sevastopol point is meh.... big,rich country like russia can build a port anywhere they need and like. It is used as excuse. They build constantly new ports in north.

Ray always brings it! It being rational thought and penetrating insight.

I tend to like Ray as I tend to listen to Judging Freedom ( whatever ). Why?? Other factors in play. Yeah, the right hand usually knows what the left know and is doing vice versa. 😮😮😂😅. The flaws, other can or cannot 😂😂😅😮😮 what a monster 💀💀 out of the bottle created, food and fool. The dogma of the dark side working cancel not listen 👂. Take care Ray. Bye 👋👋😊
