    EBnet.Stream: Power Plays & Pay Days, Ep. 12 - Special guest Colonel (Ret.) Chris Wyatt

    Leon interviews Colonel (Retired) Chris Wyatt, an ex United States army intelligence officer who through his army career focused on and lived in Africa, and who is now both a vocal supporter and critic of South Africa and some of its actions/policies. With troubled recent relations between the USA and SA, and SA's supposed relationship with Iran (whom the US and Israel are at war with), we thought it would be interesting to get the perspective of Colonel Wyatt on how the US is viewing SA at this time. More of Colonel Wyatt's content can be found on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@ColonelChrisWyattFor more great content like this, click Like and Subscribe and go to www.ebnet.co.za to subscribe to our daily newsletter that will keep you up-to-date on everything related to saving, retirement planning, your retirement fund and the latest political and economic status.
