Iran's Ceasefire Illusion, India's Geopolitical Rise, and the Gaza Peace Fund Nobody Funded | Irina Tsukerman | Global Politics for Leaders 69

Is the US-Iran ceasefire real — or a convenient fiction? In this edition of The World According to Irina Tsukerman — the bi-weekly geopolitical series on KAJ Masterclass LIVE — host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) sits down with Irina Tsukerman, US-based national security and human rights lawyer, geopolitical analyst, and Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Outsider, to dissect a Middle East in controlled chaos: why Trump keeps treating a violated ceasefire as intact, what Iran is actually waiting out, and how the Strait of Hormuz blockade is quietly strangling economies from Kuwait to India.The conversation expands outward — Venezuela's interim leader visiting New Delhi, Marco Rubio's maintenance diplomacy in India, China's conspicuous absence from the Shangri-La Dialogue, and Japan's quiet transformation into a serious regional security actor. Each thread connects: energy dependence, supply chain fragility, and the realignment of middle powers in an era of great-power competition.The episode closes on Gaza's Board of Peace — $17 billion pledged, zero transferred, and a reconstruction mandate with no money behind it.Support independent journalism: https://kajmasterclass.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjc0c1ZYR0kwV0xkcmhsUXMtTmtaMkVCdUx1UXxBQ3Jtc0tsclB5cVpaTDhVdUN3REd1bncyYzlnd3NScHA1Zy1PcjRtaG5DMG9XOThza0RfNWVsd3IwZVNzQU44Wm1ubkFIaFc5NDljTGFiQXNtcGlDU2xkNHltZl9WYnFQalFGUE9FZGJaSlI1a0N4eXEtVVdxMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fkajmasterclass.com%2F&v=qcNFh_XnaxE]

Newly Declassified MLK Files: What the Government Didn't Tell Us | Robert Doti | KAJ Politics LIVE

Over 230,000 pages of once-secret records on the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — including CIA, FBI, and State Department files — were released in 2025. Now, for the first time, the public can see the intelligence footprint, COINTELPRO surveillance, and internal debates about James Earl Ray.Robert Doti, a scientist-turned-historian and author of Layers of Complicity, applies forensic discipline to these documents. He explains why the evidence suggests Ray likely fired the shot but didn't stand alone, how the government's hostility to King's anti-war and Poor People's Campaign shaped the narrative, and what the files reveal about Cold War intelligence culture.Join host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) for a clear, evidence-based look at what the government kept secret — and why it still matters.Support independent journalism at https://kajmasterclass.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazBWb211ek1fMllSOXg2NDhHaHhJbE1MQ1JEQXxBQ3Jtc0trdFlWUWVrdC1pV082ZEF1SXdldkpxcFluMTNCVDdSemlHQUxHaExOaEotUnA4MlNRVUtKNGR4cUNzeThiaGwydFpfWTdHVjMybkIwajI2Ni1JMHR6V3ZLdDU3TERmYXVnQ09uTzNWdmkzbjJ5dXY2SQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fkajmasterclass.com%2F&v=p0cFBBwTJHU]
