Ukraine is on the brink. After a wave of coordinated attacks, internal sabotage, and a hardened peace ultimatum from Russia, the war is entering its final phase. The consequences could reshape the global order.

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins Eric Rice to break down what’s really happening behind the headlines. This past week has been pivotal. Peace talks are collapsing, U.S. politicians are cashing in, and Ukraine as we know it may not survive past summer.

Larry gives us the outline what he knows from his contacts:

- How Russia’s latest attacks mark a major escalation—and why they called it a “terrorist response”

- Why Russia's peace offer wasn’t just rejected—it was the final offer before total war

- The NATO problem: “Trump had to call Putin to cool it off—that’s how serious this got”

- Why “Ukraine can’t hold past August”, according to its own military intel chief

- The stunning claim: “One GOP Senator took $17.3 million in Ukraine kickbacks”

- Why Russia now sees Ukraine as a terrorist state—and what that changes strategically

Larry C. Johnson is a former CIA analyst and counterterrorism official with the U.S. State Department, where he served under both Republican and Democratic administrations. With decades of experience inside the U.S. intelligence community, Johnson has become a leading voice in exposing the disconnect between government narratives and on-the-ground realities—especially regarding foreign policy, war, and intelligence operations.

He is known for his deep analysis of U.S.–Russia relations, the Ukraine conflict, and covert operations that shape global events. Johnson now contributes regular commentary via his platform Sonar21.com, where he brings hard truths, insider knowledge, and fearless clarity to the public conversation.
