Summary: "As the war in Ukraine nears the six-month point and East-West tensions have plunged to their most dangerous level since the Cold War, the U.S.-led drive for domination of the former Soviet Union, Eurasia and the world as a whole has intensified to an unprecedented degree.

The current war in Europe, fraught as it is with the menace of a military confrontation between the world's two major nuclear powers, the U.S. and Russia, marks the final act in over fifteen years of NATO expansion along the entire length of Russia's western border, the purpose of which has ever been the encroachment upon and the encirclement of Russia - first in Europe, then in the remainder of former Soviet territory.

Russia's survival as a nation state necessitates a response to ever-expanding American and NATO military build-up aimed at the nation.
For over twenty years the West has identified and prepared Ukraine as the linchpin in that historically decisive campaign.

Program opens with the intercepted conversation between US diplomat Victoria Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine during which they plan a coup de tat against the then Ukrainian government."
