The introduction is LMAO funny.
Ray McGovern appears in only one of, I think four, segments. That hysterical woman in the red dress couldn't hold her own with him. He just sits there with that slight smile. He knows what the real deal is.
There appeared to be some editing going on in that segment, probably for time constraints, but I'd like to have heard more from Mr. McGovern.
The next best segment was the last, IMO, with John Mearshimer, Jack Matlock and a woman who's an expert in Russian studies. Mearshimer made some excellent points, most importantly, that the whole project in Ukraine has gone ary. The people responsible for pushing NATO eastward have cuased it. and since they are not willing to take responsibility for their screw-up (my words) they decided to blame it on Putin.
Worthwhile taking the time to watch this, for the introduction if nothing else. Thanks for posting, newthinking. 
So many DU'ers would find that very funny. Especially our "Long Timers."
and..the rest...well worth the watch..for "open minders" like I said in my above post.
It seems a very balanced discussion over what is going on with the battle over Ukraine.
It is only an Hour....but has Video, Verification, and MOST OF ALL...Discussion we don't see here in the U.S.A about our policies as viewed by others that we are involved with.
It's truly an interesting watch for "Both Sides" ....if one is "Open Minded" and caring about where our "Tax Dollars" are going.
