Ted Snider joined Scott on Antiwar Radio this week to talk about some concerning developments in Eastern Europe. They start with the tensions on the Polish-Belarus border where forces have been building up since Wagner forces moved in after the Prigozhin ordeal. Snider goes over what’s happening and what it might mean. They then talk about the Neo-Nazi compound in Maine whose leader claims to be training forces to go fight in Ukraine. They finish with some of the disheartening language we’re hearing about the backchannel talks between U.S. and Russian officials.

Discussed on the show:

• “The Poland-Belarus border is becoming a tinderbox” (Responsible Statecraft)
• “A neo-Nazi is building a compound in rural Maine for his ‘Blood Tribe’” (Forward)
• “American Neo-Nazi Training Forces in Maine to Fight for Ukraine” (Libertarian Institute)

Ted Snider has a graduate degree in philosophy and writes on analyzing patterns in U.S. foreign policy and history. He is a regular writer for Truthout, MondoWeiss and antiwar.com.
