2/17/23 Kit Klarenberg Refutes Myths About the Bosnian War
Scott is joined by Kit Klarenberg to discuss an article he wrote about the Bosnian War. The article analyzes some declassified cables from Canadian Peacekeepers that give a window into what was actually happening on the ground. Klarenberg tells the story of the war for those who may be unfamiliar with it. Scott and Klarenberg then dissect some of the myths that persist today and observe a lot of parallels to later interventions, including today’s war in Ukraine.
Discussed on the show:
- “Declassified intelligence files expose inconvenient truths of Bosnian war” (The Grayzone)
- “The Russian Military Unit That Killed Dozens in Bucha” (New York Times)
- “Avoiding a Long War” (RAND)
- “Blinken: Crimea a ‘red line’ for Putin as Ukraine weighs plans to retake it” (Politico)
- “The West’s hardest task in Ukraine: Convincing Putin he’s losing” (CNN)
- “Anatomy of a Coup: How CIA Front Laid Foundations for Ukraine War” (Substack)

09/08/13 – Gareth Porter – The Scott Horton Show
Gareth Porter, an independent investigative journalist and historian, discusses his evidence that the Obama administration passed off its own intelligence assessment of the Syria gas attack as a CIA analysis; the CIA’s observation that no materials have been deployed from Syria’s chemical weapons facilities; why the attack doesn’t bear the hallmarks of sarin gas; and why the White House pushes toward war despite the large percentage of Americans against military action in Syria.
Update: Porter now says that CIA may not have had such close track of Syria CW. But they’re still doubtful, dossier still White House.
