Oh my goodness the Democrats are such idiots. Since they've decided to use their front runner's corruption scandal as their bludgeon against Trump, they can't do anything now but try to crack down on mentions of their part of the story. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the media went along with Biden's demand.

Mark Perry discusses some of the disasters of America's foreign policy for the last 20 years, particularly U.S. support for Saudi Arabia in their war in Yemen and repeated cases of empowering Iran by starting or supporting ill-advised conflicts that end up making Iran look strong. Perry says there's no way to wrap up our involvement in the region; America simply needs to get out now and stop perpetrating this injustice altogether. Discussed on the show: "The Military Officials Who Knew Saudi Arabia Would Fail" (The American Conservative) "04/22/15 – Mark Perry – The Scott Horton Show" (The...
Daniel Lazare rehashes some of the details of "Russiagate", focusing on the obvious media malfeasance and bias against President Trump, and the theory that the so-called "intelligence community" was doing everything they could to sabotage him. The latest episode in this conspiracy is the Ukraine impeachment inquiry, which democrats seem to have taken up full bore, while acting as if the Russia collusion issue never happened at all. Discussed on the show: "Another Day, Another Scandal. What the 'Trump-Ukraine Collusion' Is Really About" (Antiwar.com Original) "The Plan to Trip Up Trump"...
Jonathan Fenton-Harvey talks about President Trump's close relationship with Saudi Arabia and his corresponding push against Iran. Trump seems uniquely willing to come out and say his real reasons for this closeness—that it's all about money. Trump likes that Saudi Arabia buys billions of dollars worth of weapons from America, which he claims is good for the U.S. job market. He is willing to sacrifice civilian lives in Yemen for the sake of the domestic economy. Ironically, Trump's isolation of Iran by primarily supporting Saudi Arabia and the UAE has actually pushed Iran closer to America's...
All in the name of reinstalling the Saudis' and Muslim Brotherhood's man, Mansour Hadi, in power in a capital city most Americans have never heard of. https://twitter.com/abcdaee1990/status/1177803244439035904
Ali Demirdas talks about the Syrian YPG, a Kurdish organization associated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which America has supported against Assad in Syria. Demirdas thinks this partnership is ill-advised, and that the YPG's chances of ruling significant parts of the country without U.S. support are low. He also outlines some of the ways America has strengthened Iran's influence in the Middle East again and again, even though they are supposedly our biggest enemy in the region. Discussed on the show: "Why Syria's Kurdish Militia Can't Do What Washington Wants" (The National Interest)...
Patrick Cockburn discusses the recent attacks on a Saudi oil facility, an American drone, and two Japanese tankers, all of which have been pinned to various degrees on Iran. It's unclear to what extent Iran actually was involved—it's always possible that this is a false narrative being used to gin up tensions and cause a war—but no matter who was responsible, these attacks demonstrate the extent to which countries like Iran and Yemen could wage asymmetrical war on more powerful countries like the U.S., severely hurting their adversaries with little cost and no risk. With this in mind, those...
