The Final Humiliation of H.R. McMaster

by Scott Horton | Jun 30, 2020 | Blog

After committing war crimes in Iraq, failing _completely_ at fighting corruption in Afghanistan, and failing to convince Trump to attack North Korea, this pathetic perfumed prince of a political general gets taken out to the woodshed by Col. Andrew Bacevich, who ridicules the man nearly to death over his attacks against foreign policy "restrainers." "Just as President Trump is adamant in refusing to fess up to mistakes in responding to Covid-19 — 'We’ve made every decision correctly' — so too McMaster avoids reckoning with what actually happened when the never-retrench crowd was calling the...

6/26/20 Hans Kristensen: the Bleak Outlook for Nuclear Arms Control

by Scott Horton | Jun 29, 2020 | Hotter Than the Sun, The Scott Horton Show

Scott talks to Hans Kristensen about the state of the world’s nuclear weapons arsenals. Immediately after the Cold War, says Kristensen, the U.S. and Russia drastically reduced their nuclear stockpiles, making the world significantly safer. Since then, however, this trend toward disarmament has begun to slow and even to reverse. At the same time, more countries have developed their own nuclear weapons programs. Scott thinks this has more to do with the financial incentives of the military-industrial complex than it does with the possibility for real global hostilities—but that doesn’t make...

6/26/20 Jim Bovard on American Atrocities in Kosovo and Korea

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

Jim Bovard exposes the false claim that Bill Clinton presided over a peaceful administration, pointing out the horrible atrocities of the “humanitarian” intervention in Kosovo. Clinton launched this intervention, says Bovard, as a distraction from his personal scandals, under the dubious guise of saving the ethnic minority Albanians from genocide at the hands of the Serbians. Of course, as with many of America’s wars, this one turned out to be based on lies; ultimately hundreds, if not thousands, of civilians were killed because of U.S. intervention. Scott and Bovard also discuss the U.S....

How Confirmation Bias Works

by Scott Horton | Jun 29, 2020 | Blog

Esquire: EVEN! Lindsey Graham and Liz Cheney believe the latest claims against Russia by anonymous "intelligence officials" (we don't even get to know what agency). So you see right there! That's how serious it is! When forced to choose between Trump and claims by nameless spooks -- Graham and Cheney picked the spooks! That can only mean one thing: It must be true! Wowee. Sure do hate Russia right now.

CNN: After Weeks of Protests, Meaningful Police Reform Appears Unlikely

by Scott Horton | Jun 29, 2020 | Blog

"...But it all may have been for nothing." Instead of trying to entirely abolish racial prejudice from society and demanding every leftist reform under the sun, maybe the Black Lives Matter movement could focus on accountability for killer cops, ending qualified immunity, demilitarization, ending the drug war and SWAT team night raids for a bit first? All that energy has just dissipated away by the movement crying into the wind about every last thing and therefore accomplishing nothing. I wish we could blame COINTELPRO, but people are just stupid is all.

Armed Israeli Settlers Burn Hundreds of Olive Trees South of Nablus

by Scott Horton | Jun 29, 2020 | Blog

Let's see, what would it be called if "armed Palestinian people-who-are-actually-from-there" burned hundreds of anything belonging to Israeli civilians, even trespassing "settlers"? Right. Exactly. "Terrorism." Well I like how George Carlin used to say: "We don't need two standards. One will do just fine."
