4/22/22 William Arkin on Russia’s Failures in Ukraine

Download Episode.

William Arkin joined Scott on yesterday’s Antiwar Radio show to discuss the war in Ukraine. Arkin has spent the last two months following the war closely to try and get an accurate read on what’s happening on the ground. He shares his findings and latest analysis with Scott. Arkin believes that Russia’s military failures have exposed them as a paper tiger, invalidating all the money and resources that have been poured into NATO over the decades. At the same time, the absence of diplomacy and the apparent U.S. intentions to turn this conflict into a prolonged proxy war pose the greatest danger to Ukrainian civilians. 

Discussed on the show:

His award-winning reporting has appeared on the front pages of The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times.
