‘EIR Reports’ Interview with Larry Johnson

”EIR Reports,” the interview platform for Executive Intelligence Review, spoke today with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, on the response of the Trump Administration to the peace initiative of Pope Leo XIV. Johnson, a popular podcaster, blogger, and member of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity [VIPS], spoke with EIR's Dennis Speed and Harley Schlanger on the eve of the expiration on April 21 of the ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Israel, and the People’s Republic of Iran. Johnson emphasized that he believes the erratic nature of the Trump Administration’s policy course is shaped by the President’s mental deterioration, and the use of his cognitive decline by war-hawks inside and outside the Administration committed to a showdown between the U.S., and Russia and China.
