12/4/20 Gilbert Doctorow: Will Antony Blinken’s Past Catch Up With Him?

by Scott Horton | Dec 5, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Gilbert Doctorow talks about Biden's pick for Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, particularly his famous stepfather, Samuel Pisar. Pisar is well-known these days for being a holocaust survivor rescued by American GIs during World War II, but is less known for his decorated international career afterward. Doctorow brings up Pisar's past because of his prominent role as a representative for American companies in Europe, and especially in the Soviet Union. Pisar's view was that commerce is an important feature of peaceful diplomatic relations, even with semi-hostile countries. Doctorow hopes...

12/3/20 Gareth Porter on the Assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh

by Scott Horton | Dec 5, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Gareth Porter discusses the recent assassination of Iranian defense official Mohsen Fakhrizadeh by the Israeli government, which continues to claim that Fakhrizadeh was a "top nuclear scientist" in Iran. In reality, explains Porter, Fakhrizadeh was not a nuclear scientist, and this assassination is part of a years-long campaign to convince the world that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. No doubt the assassination was intended to provoke some kind of response from the Iranians before President Trump leaves the White House. It will also make it harder, he says, for President Biden to...

11/27/20 Stephen Zunes on Joe Biden’s Foreign Policy

by Scott Horton | Nov 29, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott talks to Stephen Zunes about Joe Biden's track record on foreign policy, and its potential implications for his presidency. Zunes rehashes some of the bad parts of Biden's record, beginning with his support for the invasion of Iraq. Although many Democrats voted for the war, Biden specifically and energetically advocated for it. Zunes worries that Biden is a true believer in the American empire, whereas President Trump doesn't really have firm beliefs about anything. This made Trump unpredictable, but also probably less dangerous on the issue of foreign wars. Zunes speculates that...

11/27/20 Frank Ledwidge on Losing the War in Afghanistan

by Scott Horton | Nov 29, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Frank Ledwidge, a British former intelligence officer, discusses the futility of the war in Afghanistan (and the rest of the terror wars), which many of the world's countries have now been mired in for nearly two decades. Ledwidge begins by reminding us just how much the Afghans hate foreign armies. Like most people, they don't take kindly to an occupying military force telling them how to live; unlike most people, a huge percentage of the rural villagers, especially in the Helmand Province, have never even heard of 9/11 or the war on terror. The goal of "winning hearts and minds" in a place...

Oh yeah, no, it's because they are just terribly concerned about the proper process being followed! If there's one thing that anyone and everyone knows about the cops of South Dakota: they don't care about themselves at all! They are only worried what might happen if someone sends the wrong message to the kids! and stuff like that.
