Ex-US intel officer: Pompeo 'lying through his teeth' on Iran
Pushback with Aaron Maté
The Trump administration is imposing new sanctions on Iran and defying Iraq's call for a US troop withdrawal. This comes as the stated rationale for the US assassination of Qasem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis is being undermined by its top officials' own statements. Scott Ritter, a former Marine Corps intelligence officer, analyzes the increased White House coercion efforts and collapsing intelligence claims.
Guest: Scott Ritter -- former UN Weapons Inspector, former Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, and author of "Dealbreaker: Donald Trump and the Unmaking of the Iran Nuclear Deal."
The US govt-promoted pseudo-punk collective Pussy Riot freaks out on The Grayzone's Aaron Mate, demanding he move to Russia over his views on the Ukraine proxy war. Aaron and Max Blumenthal discuss the performers' meltdown, and debate whether they are the worst punk band that has ever come into existence.

Pushback with Aaron Maté
A new Senate Intelligence Committee report accuses the Internet Research Agency (IRA), a Russian troll farm, of using "social media to conduct an information warfare campaign" against the United States. This comes one week after the U.S. imposed new sanctions on the IRA and its funder, Yevgeny Prigozhin. What is the IRA, and are the claims of a Russian influence campaign against the U.S. well-founded? Aaron Maté and journalist Jefferson Morley of "The Deep State" blog debate and discuss.
Guest: Jefferson Morley, journalist, author, and editor of The Deep State, a blog about intelligence agencies.

As a 2020 candidate, Joe Biden vowed to "end the sale" of weapons to Saudi Arabia
"murdering children" and other "innocent people" in Yemen. As president, Biden has continued US support for the Saudi-led war and pushed through new weapons sales. Last week, at least 90 Yemenis were killed in a Saudi attack using a Raytheon-made bomb.
Shireen Al-Adeimi discusses Biden's Yemen betrayal and how Congressional opposition to the Saudi-led war has declined since he took office.
Guest: Shireen Al-Adeimi, assistant professor of education at Michigan State University.
