9/23/22 Douglas Macgregor on the Russian Escalation

Download Episode.

Scott is once again joined by Douglas Macgregor Col. (ret.) to discuss developments in Ukraine. Macgregor has been working hard to keep track of what’s actually happening on the ground, and the result is a very different narrative than what you’d find in most media outlets. Despite a very public “defeat” in northeastern Ukraine, Macgregor is convinced the Russians are dominating this war. He argues that Russia’s focus appears fixed on the southern coast, which may soon become part of Russia itself. Scott and Macgregor work through the current dynamics of the war and examine the risk of a nuclear strike. 

Discussed on the show:

Douglas Macgregor, Col. (ret.) is a senior fellow with The American Conservative, the former advisor to the Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, a decorated combat veteran, and the author of five books.

Antiwar.com editor John Glaser discusses President Obama’s mendacious speech to the UN about supposed US support for Mideast democracy; Saudi Arabia and Qatar’s open financial and military support for Syria’s rebels; charting Obama’s real course on the Arab Spring (where the US is siding with dictators and Al Qaeda instead of democratic reformers); why a pre-election attack on Iran is probably off the table; and how US national interests became subordinate to what the Gulf monarchies and Israel want.

09/21/12 – Mel Frykberg – The Scott Horton Show

Mel Frykberg, a McClatchy and IPS News journalist, discusses her on-the-ground reporting from war-torn Libya; rumors that the Interior Ministry is in cahoots with Salafist militias, including the one responsible for the US embassy attack; why the Libyan central government can’t compete with the influence and firepower of local militias; and why NATO bombs and purple-finger elections don’t magically create civil societies.
