Zelensky’s Days in Power Are “Numbered,” Ukraine Suffers “Unwinnable” Defeat
Summary
Katie Halper and Aaron Maté discuss the Ukraine war with former Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Bo, who is under EU sanctions for dissenting views. Bo explains how the sanctions have frozen his bank accounts, making it a criminal offense for others to buy him food. He argues Ukraine is losing the war of attrition and faces severe internal instability, including intelligence infighting and forced conscription. The hosts also critique Hillary Clinton’s recent comments on Israel and the origins of the Russiagate narrative.
