[GUEST] Dave DeCamp : Blood and Billions - The Escalating Ukraine Proxy War

The intertwining of military aid, global alliances, and political positioning takes center stage as Dave DeCamp, news editor at AntiWar.com, joins Kyle Anselone to unpack the most pressing foreign policy developments happening beneath mainstream headlines.

Trump's campaign promise to end the Ukraine war "within a day" has given way to a more complex reality. DeCamp reveals how the administration is now facilitating a massive $10 billion weapons transfer to Ukraine through NATO allies, effectively continuing Biden-era policies while framing it as making Europe "pay their fair share." This approach raises critical questions about Pentagon stockpile depletion and whether enough munitions exist regardless of who funds them.

The conversation takes a revealing turn examining the strengthening Russia-North Korea military alliance, highlighted by Sergei Lavrov's recent visit to Pyongyang where he publicly thanked North Korean soldiers for combat assistance in "liberating Russian territories." This developing relationship represents part of a broader realignment where sanctioned nations are forming new bonds in response to Western pressure.

Perhaps most surprising is the discussion of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's break from Republican orthodoxy in acknowledging Israel's nuclear arsenal—a topic typically avoided in Washington—while opposing additional military funding. This signals a potential generational shift within the Republican party regarding the special relationship with Israel.

The most sobering segment addresses Israeli violence against Palestinians and American citizens. The recent killing of American Syf Musa by Israeli settlers in the West Bank has received minimal coverage and an appallingly tepid response from the State Department. Similarly, increasing settler attacks on Christian villages in the West Bank, including arson near an ancient church in Taiba, highlight the consequences of unconditional U.S. support.

Throughout the conversation, DeCamp provides clarity on these complex issues by stripping away mainstream bias to present the facts without typical pro-Western framing. What emerges is a concerning picture of America's foreign policy direction and whether Washington is inadvertently creating the very adversarial alliances it claims to be protecting against.
