This week, on the Global Research News Hour, with tensions building as President Putin warns of actions against NATO countries, if Ukraine strikes deep into Russian territory with Western weapons, we are considering the prospects of this two year long Ukraine fight exploding onto the Global stage possibly into a nuclear confrontation. In our first half hour, we speak with activist and author Yves Engler about Canada’s role in the ongoing escalations, and of his upcoming book correcting the record of Canada against and not for democracy abroad. Then in our final half hour, we chat with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson about the dangerous path to a NATO-Russia war we are on, and we also speak about his recent attendance at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum a week ago and about what he heard on the ground from land of the Bear.
