Support our work: http://novara.media/support Will the New Cold War turn into World War III? For fifty years, Alfred McCoy has exposed covert operations. In 1972 he uncovered the CIA and French intelligence’s complicity with the heroin trade during the Vietnam War – research that the CIA tried to suppress. He’s the author of many books, most recently *Cold War on Five Continents,* which gives a comprehensive account of late 20th century geopolitics, decolonisation, and covert operations. But now he’s warning of a New Cold War. Is it over for the US empire? He talked to Richard Hames about the strange parallels between the 1956 Suez Crisis – a turning point in global British influence – and the 2026 war on Iran and the new Chinese World Order.
