This week on the Global Research News Hour, as the world witnesses in horror the real consequences of the first super-powers confrontation since the fall of the Berlin Wall, we try to take a closer look at the truth behind the scenes, the source of the conflict and whether or not the situation can and will be peacefully resolved. In our first half hour, Glenn Michalchuk of Peace Alliance Winnipeg drops by to articulate the demands of his and similar groups across the country relating to Canadaâs role in restoration of peace. We also play part of an interview recorded last week with geopolitical analyst and investigative journalist Pepe Escobar about the direction this stand-off was headed and about the role of Kazakhstan as playing a sneaky behind the scenes role in the chaos. Finally in our second half hour we have a talk with the long time foreign correspondent in Russia John Helmer about the larger context and the factors giving Russia an edge.
