Cyrill Vatomsky, Where All Politics Are Global

Dr. Laina Farhat Holzman was my guest on today's Embassy of the New World Order show on KSCO AM 1080. As usual, we covered a variety of subjects, but mostly revolving around her and my special interests: Iran, Iraq and Russia:

The escalating crisis with Iran taking 15 British soldiers hostage. What were reasons, what would be options. Laina seems to think it was more likely to come from the top, I just think it follows the "Who would rid me of this meddlesome priest!" pattern. Like with Putin and Litvinenko.

It appears, at least Laina thinks this it the case, that Iran is actually actively seeking a military confrontation, a war. This is not outside of realm of possibilities. Ahmadinejad is loosing popularity and control and may actually repeat the folly of the Argentinian junta that tried to capture The Falklands.

Some options were suggested on how to deal with the current crisis, including blockade, capturing Iranian vessels, bombing refineries. 

Situation in Iraq got some attention. Especially correcting some of falsities from other media.

Russia has banned non-citizens from selling produce on its markets was another subject and there were callers.
