Sheldon Richman From 1991 ‘Ancient History’: US Conduct in the Middle East Since World War II and the Folly of Intervention
Check out this magnificent thing that Sheldon Richman wrote back in August 1991 about "Uncle Sam" ruining everything in the Middle East since back when the U.S. took over for the British.
7/17/19 Lyle J. Goldstein on the Consequences of War with Russia
Scott interviews Lyle J. Goldstein about what the "Russiagate" narrative means for America's relationship with Russia. Scott and Goldstein remind us that a hot war would probably mean the destruction of both American and Russian cities with tactical nukes, and possibly the devastation of human civilization all over the world. For that reason it's incredibly irresponsible of the media to push the narrative that the Russian government attacked our country during the 2016 election, and that any sign of President Trump's conciliation toward Putin is confirmation that he's a foreign agent....
7/17/19 Jason Ditz on Iran, Yemen, and Afghanistan
Jason Ditz updates Scott on the news from the Middle East. Recently, a missing Emirati tanker that some claimed had been seized by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz was revealed to have simply been towed there voluntarily for repairs. In other news, the UAE has announced the withdrawal of its troops from Yemen, probably realizing it can't win a ground war there, at least not without stretching itself too thinly and becoming exposed at home. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, seems content to keep fighting the war, since they want to ensure that the entire country is ruled by a friendly regime, or...
2¾ Cheers for the New Quincy Institute
What if George Soros and Charles Koch teamed up to do a thing? Sounds pretty scary so far. What if the project was to build a new antiwar think tank in Washington with the financial backing to make a serious mark? Does that sound even scarier? It shouldn’t. The reasons why are Trita Parsi, Andrew Bacevich and Eli Clifton. Recently the great anti-interventionist author Stephen Kinser announced in the Boston Globe that Soros and Koch have teamed up to fund – to the tune of a million dollars to start – a new group called the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, named for John Quincy...
7/17/19 Daniel McAdams on America’s Dangerous Posture Toward Iran
Scott interviews Daniel McAdams about the influence of Mike Pompeo and John Bolton on President Trump's foreign policy. Lately they've made sure to keep up a policy of maximum pressure through economic sanctions, and to avoid negotiations at all costs. It's clear from their strategy that what they really want is a war. Trump's good instincts on Iran may be the only thing that's still keeping us at peace. Discussed on the show: "Rand Paul angles to become Trump's emissary to Iran" (POLITICO) "Pompeo: 'I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole'" (YouTube) Daniel McAdams is the...
7/17/19 Mark Perry on the Year America Didn’t Go to War
Mark Perry talks about the history of America's near misses on war with Iran, starting with the 1983 Beirut barracks attack that almost led to an American bombing campaign against the Iranians. According to Perry, President Reagan realized that such an attack would be both ineffective, and also beneath the "dignity" of the United States military. The point of a strong military, says Perry, is to not use it, except against major powers in extreme circumstances. The excessive use of our military all over the world in the last 20 years only wastes blood and treasure while making the country...
