CIA Expert Douglas Valentine Discusses the Agency’s 70 Years of Continuing Operations in Ukraine

Douglas Valentine is an author who specializes in the study of the CIA. His most famous book — the one that started Valentine on his road to focusing on the notorious intelligence agency — is The Phoenix Program. The title is a reference to the CIA’s program to “neutralize” the Viet Cong and its sympathizers throughout the Vietnamese countryside. His new book is called The CIA as Organized Crime: How Illegal Operations Corrupt America and the World. The following is a 9-minute clip from a longer video interview with Valentine about the history of the CIA and its operations. This clip focuses on the CIA’s 70-year history of secret operations in Ukraine against the Soviet Union and later the Russian Federation.

Note: I plan to post the entire interview at a later time.
