Israel Under Attack

The latest book in the Russian Agents series, Israel Under Attack, is now available for preorder here: https://amzn.to/4ubP6J3

I’ve created a clip to answer a question addressed in the book’s first chapter: Who built the nuclear weapons that will be used in the attack on Israel?

Quotes by Ted Halstead  (?)

“An entire lifetime of indoctrination gave him reasons why he should ignore the success of the capitalist model. Ironically, it was his training as an intelligence officer that forced him finally to admit the obvious. The Chinese Communist Party had chosen to embrace capitalism because it worked.”
Ted Halstead, The Second Korean War

“at the door.”
Ted Halstead, China Invades Taiwan

“North Korea bought its first dozen MiG-29s from Belarus in 1995, as the worst part of the Great Famine began, at a cost of nearly half a billion dollars. That would have been enough to feed every hungry North Korean man, woman, and child for two years. Estimates of Great Famine deaths ranged between two to three and a half million. As a result, these dozen MiG-29s had probably killed more people than any others in history, without firing a shot.”
Ted Halstead, The Second Korean War
