The David Hunter Perspective - 2024-04-24

Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.1)Ukraine Arms Bill Passes House of Representatives: The US House passed on Saturday three major defense funding bills, for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The Ukraine bill if passed by US Senate on Tuesday will provide $61 billion, for much needed military equipment and ammunition for its defense against Russian aggression. What do you think about all this?2)US Big Data Mining and Artificial Intelligence Firm Palantir Aiding Israel War Effort: Palantir, a US based high tech data mining and AI firm, is helping Israel develop targeting 'kill lists' of Hamas linked operatives. Is that a good thing to be happening?3)US Sanctions on Israel's Military?: The US just announced plans to restrict sales of US military equipment and training to part of Israel's army. The sanctions apply under the Leahy Law, that prohibits military sales to foreign military units that violate international human rights. The Netzah Yehud battalion of IDF has been found to have committed human rights violations by US Department of State, but Israeli PM Netanyahu vows he will 'fight the charges'. What is going on?4)Israel and Iran Exchanged Attacks On Each Other's Soil: Last week, both Iran and Israel exchanged direct attacks on each other's territory. Iran launched 350 drones and missiles into Israel, and Israel responded w/ a small drone attack near Nataz nuclear reactor in Iran. US and G7 Nations urged restraint. Have things cooled down?Support the show
