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

by Scott Horton | Apr 25, 2022 | The Scott Horton Show

Arkin has spent the last two months following the war closely to try and get an accurate read on what’s happening on the ground. He shares his findings and latest analysis with Scott. Arkin believes that Russia’s military failures have exposed them as a paper tiger, invalidating all the money and resources that have been poured into NATO over the decades.
