11/4/22 Douglas Macgregor on the Lost Opportunities to Leave Ukraine Better Off

by Scott Horton | Nov 8, 2022 | The Scott Horton Show

Download Episode. This week on Antiwar Radio, Scott talks with retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor about the war in Ukraine. From the beginning, Macgregor has been very critical of the Biden Administration’s myopic insistence on escalation. Now, it appears that a divide has broken out within Washington about how much further the U.S. and NATO can go. Scott and Macgregor discuss this evolving dynamic and reflect on all the missed chances for peace that would have left Ukraine with more territory and fewer lives lost. Now, with what appears to be a massive Russian offensive in the works,...

11/4/22 Ted Snider: The US Admits Iran Isn’t Building a Nuclear Bomb

by Scott Horton | Nov 7, 2022 | The Scott Horton Show

Download Episode. Scott brings Ted Snider back on to discuss a major story that nobody but Antiwar.com appears to be covering. The Biden Administration recently declassified its Nuclear Posture Review where it is admitted that Iran is not working towards a nuclear bomb. After a quick discussion about how U.S. nuclear strike policy has evolved since the Cold War, Scott and Snider dig into this bombshell of a story. They reflect back on all the revelations that made it clear the Iran nuclear weapons program was a hoax. Now, this official acknowledgment really drives home how ridiculous all...

by Scott Horton | Nov 5, 2022 | The Scott Horton Show

Download Episode. Scott talks with Mike Swanson about the economic mess we find ourselves in. Swanson helps us understand how we got here and why all the traditional “experts” have been so confused.

Scott and Swanson also look to history to help predict what the American economy will look like in the near future.

10/28/22 John Robb on the Geopolitical Ramifications of Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover

by Scott Horton | Nov 1, 2022 | The Scott Horton Show

Download Episode. Scott talks with John Robb about the major consequences of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter. Robb has written about how the internet created a global geopolitical environment determined chiefly by the network effect. Notably, the hysteria surrounding the war in Ukraine is brought about by this network effect in both a top-down and bottom-up fashion. It seems that Musk intends to end the top-down suppression of dissent against the NATO narrative of the war. Scott and Robb discuss possible consequences and examine the broader effect this network has on American politics and...

10/27/22 Kyle Anzalone on Washington’s Incompetent Imperialism

by Scott Horton | Oct 30, 2022 | The Scott Horton Show

Download Episode. Kyle Anzalone joins Scott this week on Antiwar Radio to provide a quick insight into the status of the American empire’s foreign adventurism. They first look to North Korea, where the Biden administration has reversed Trump’s policy of de-escalation and is instead undertaking nuclear brinksmanship for no good reason. Next, they turn to Taiwan and examine the push in Congress to abandon the stable status quo. They then look to Iran where the JCPOA is dead and Washington ineptly drives its enemies together in pursuit of world hegemony. They talk briefly about Yemen where...

10/24/22 Ted Snider on America’s Obligation to Stop the War in Ukraine

by Scott Horton | Oct 27, 2022 | The Scott Horton Show

Download Episode. Scott talks with Ted Snider about some of his recent articles at Antiwar.com. Snider makes the argument that, by deliberately ignoring off-ramps, the U.S. bears just as much responsibility for the ongoing war as any other party. But beyond that, Scott and Snider examine the ways the U.S. and NATO sabotaged Russo-Ukrainian negotiations shortly after the invasion — which Snider argues gives the U.S. an obligation to stop the war before more blood is needlessly spilled. Discussed on the show: “The Back Door to NATO” (Antiwar.com) “Choosing Sides in the New Cold War”...
