Another exceptional interview with Chas
Freeman! He is very knowledgeable about
geopolitical, geoeconomic and military
affairs around the globe. His keen insights
about the factors motivating current events
around the world, give us all a more in depth
understanding about what is unfolding all
around us. Having served in both the
defense department and State Department,
he grasps many of the things that others
are completely unaware of.

Thank you Nima for inviting Ambassador
Freeman back on your wonderful
podcast as a recurring guest.. By
listening to what he has to say, we are
all better informed and benefit from
his years of experience and wisdom.

You are doing an excellent job keeping
us up to date with current events around
the globe. Keep up the good work.

Ambassador Chas Freeman is a very wise and humanitarian diplomat whose EVERY WORD has meaning. For the 'oldies' - listening to him brings back memories of 'times past' when statesmen were something to be reckoned with and true diplomacy (built on Trust and Keeping One's Word were the Order of the Day. We now have a circus with many clowns who cannot be taken seriously. The Whole World owes a GREAT debt of honour to Ambassador Freeman as well as to Nima for allowing his credentialed guests to express their views in an uninterrupted manner. A BIG THANKS.

Watching Ursula is so painful, it's like listening to some strange character that was formed out of some bazaar universe and being placed before us to torture us, giving us a feeling terror of the future to come under her reign.

Very very useful geo- political discussion on east - west relations as regards M.east and Ukraine - Russia conflicts. Chas Freeman has given credible solutions to this conflicts. Those who love peace need to listen to him.

It's an absolute shame and embarrassment for the US for sidelining Chas Freeman and other truth tellers.

Its great to hear Mr Freeman put the current situation in Palestine is such simplistic terms, a situation that many in the main stream make so complicated, so as to hide the real facts, and make Zionism look such an honorable project.

Excellent quality reasoned analysis 🇬🇧

[kathleentrinity]

Thank you, Ambassador Freeman. I'm so glad for your clarity and for pointing out the under International Law it's the Palestinians who have the right to defend themselves. This point has indeed been turned on its head daily by the brutal occupation apologists.

Freeman is maybe the most rational and comprehensive of US commentators, and as ethical as any. Reminds me of the Russians.

Amb. Freeman, thank you for tirelessly educating us on the history and the current events in the Middle East. And events in the world for that matter.
