ROBERT ZARATE of the Foreign Policy Research Institute raises several questions about Sec. Def. Chuck Hagel's recent announcement to renew the Bush administration's commitment to ground based missile interceptors in the U.S. which the Obama administration cut back in its first term. Will sequestration allow the plan to follow through? Was the cancellation of long range ICBM interceptors in Europe in fact the more important element of the announcement as it is a strategic step backward and a concession to Russian power in the region? Former Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp member and CIA agent REZA KHALILI reports new intelligence on a covert Iranian nuclear site, nuclear material, and weapons capability including numbers on weaponized grade Uranium that would seem to exceed stated Red Lines of the United States. World renowned investigative journalist, CLAUDIA ROSETT, explains the meaning of the strange death in London of a Russian Oligarch who had fallen from the grace of the Putin regime. GORDON CHANG of Forbes.com breaks down the nuclear threat matrix between the U.S. and China based on new reports of the China's Carrier Killer 12,000 mile range missile.

REZA KHALILI, a former CIA agent in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, talks about the relationship between Iran and North Korea, and how they are working together on nuclear technology.

What is the meaning of Putin’s Russia United party’s unapologetic and blatant rigging of parliamentary elections? Who are the groups responding to the perhaps over ambitious power play? David Satter of the Hudson institute weighs in. Ryan Mauro of www.worldthreats.com reports on the state of play in Syria and Iraq. Then Reza Khalili explains Iran’s relationship with Al Qaeda. Finally Gordon Chang stakes out the parameters needed for North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, to consolidate power. If he doesn’t, would a desintegrating North Korea invite Chinese military intervention.
