This week's Global Research News Hour examines the ongoing confrontation between the US and Russia, and provides a historical context to the growing divide between the two major powers. We first hear from writer, blogger and geopolitical analyst Dmitry Orlov about the deteriorating relationship between Russia and the Western powers over the last year, the fundamentals underlying American actions, and where he thinks these developments may lead in the coming year. Then we get a historical backgrounder from long-time anti-war activist Ron Ridoneur, author of The Russian Peace Threat: Pentagon on Alert.
