Former CIA Officer: This Is 'More Dangerous Than WW3' | Ray McGovern

Summary

Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst, discusses the Russia-Ukraine war, U.S.-Iran tensions, Gaza, the Houthis, and the JFK files with David Lin. He argues Russia has the upper hand in Ukraine, that U.S. intelligence assesses Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and that an attack on Iran could trigger a wider regional war with severe global economic consequences. He also says Houthi attacks are disrupting Red Sea access and hurting Israel's economy.
