12/22/20 Alan MacLeod on the Mainstream Media’s Russia Hysteria

by Scott Horton | Dec 26, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott talks to Alan MacLeod about the bizarre and troubling trend in both media and government where Russia is the automatic target of blame for everything these days. Every hack and cyber attack, of course, is automatically ascribed to the Russians, as are more mundane things, like CIA operatives getting mysterious migraines overseas. This reminds MacLeod of the old Cold War hysteria, where people thought Soviet agents were hiding in every area of American life. Increased hostility toward Russia is a tactic that the Democrats have used to score political points against President Trump for...

12/22/20 Mark Perry: Lloyd Austin Isn’t Who You Think He Is

by Scott Horton | Dec 24, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Mark Perry talks about General Lloyd Austin, Biden's pick for Secretary of Defense. Austin is a military man through and through, but he isn't your run-of-the-mill war hawk, explains Perry—instead, Austin has shown himself to be a strong advocate for diplomacy and restraint, likely the reason Biden has chosen him. Perry is optimistic about the potential foreign policy of the Biden administration: although Biden was a prominent cheerleader for the war in Iraq, he has moderated his positions somewhat in the intervening years, opposing U.S. support for the war in Yemen, and often representing...

12/21/20 Ted Carpenter on the Futility and Cruelty of Washington’s Economic Sanctions

by Scott Horton | Dec 23, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott interviews Ted Carpenter about his recent coverage of America's sanctions policies around the world. Carpenter begins by explaining that economic sanctions are both ineffective and inhumane. For one thing, the theory that when a population is pressed hard enough they will rise up and overthrow their government has never been successfully borne out in practice. What's more, it is never the ruling class that suffers under a sanctions program, since they will be able to ensure security and comfort for themselves no matter how desperate things get—instead, it is only the most vulnerable...

Cop Kills Man

by Scott Horton | Dec 23, 2020 | Blog

Some total scumbag called the police on a man for "repeatedly starting" it in his own driveway. But who are the police? Is is Andy Griffith and Don Knotts come to keep the peace? No. It's the American Nazi Communist Gestapo Stormtroopers of Death With Total Immunity Before Hand In All Cases. So they just murdered the guy. Could have been your son. At press time it was a 100% certainty that the murderer cop will not be held accountable because he his a government employee.

12/21/20 Ramzy Baroud on the Plight of the Palestinians

by Scott Horton | Dec 23, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Palestinian journalist Ramzy Baroud discusses a series of recent articles he's written on the status of Israeli-Palestinian relations, and the long history that informs the situation today. It has now become clear, says Baroud, that the once-promised two-state solution is off the table. The Israeli government has realized that it can pretty much continue to expand its settlements into the dwindling Palestinian lands and keep oppressing its people, all with very little pushback in the international community or the mainstream media. The only realistic way forward will be to officially...

12/18/20 Danny Sjursen on Nagorno-Karabakh and the Ethiopian Civil War

by Scott Horton | Dec 23, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott interviews Danny Sjursen about two prominent conflicts facing the world in 2020. In Nagorno-Karabakh, an uneasy, Russian-brokered peace deal is holding between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but Sjursen worries that this peace won't last forever, as each country still feels that it has an unresolved claim on the disputed territory. In Ethiopia, age-old ethnic tensions have been breaking through the surface ever since the country's government postponed elections on account of the coronavirus pandemic. The Tigrays, an ethnic minority, have long played an outsized role in the military and the...

12/18/20 Nasser Arrabyee on Yemen’s Desperate Humanitarian Crisis

by Scott Horton | Dec 22, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Nasser Arrabyee is back with an update on the ongoing war in Yemen. Joe Biden, he says, has said some promising things about ending U.S. support for the Suadi war there, but both Arrabyee and Scott are skeptical that he will follow through at all. Supporters of the war, including Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia and Mike Pompeo in the U.S., are pushing for the international community to officially designate the Houthis as a terrorist group, which Arrabyee says would only make it even more difficult to get humanitarian aid to the Yemeni people. Yemen has now been identified as the world's...
