Police: Armed Gangs of Lawless Killers
It's a good thing there's no such thing as ghosts, otherwise the Americans who came before us would never let us get a wink of sleep again. In other words, what a damned disgrace. Thanks to SMiles.

7/22/22 Kyle Anzalone on the Ukraine-Russia Grain Deal and the Evolving State of the War
Kyle Anzalone is back this week on Antiwar Radio to update us on all things Ukraine. Anzalone explains the grain deal both sides reached after Turkey hosted negotiations. If honored, the deal is expected to free up 22 million tons of wheat. Next, Anzalone lays out how the battle lines are evolving after Foreign Minister Lavrov announced Russia has expanded its objectives beyond the Donbas region. There’s also some good news about deals between Russia and the EU which will ease sanctions and open up the railroads into the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. However, the Biden Administration and Congress have been escalating their military support for Ukraine with promises to send more advanced weapons systems into the conflict.
Discussed on the show:
- “Russia and Ukraine sign breakthrough grain deal brokered by UN and Turkey” (Middle East Eye)
- Scott’s Debate with Cathy Young about Ukraine

06/24/11 – Gareth Porter – The Scott Horton Show
Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for IPS News, discusses his article “Obama Leaves Door Open to Long-Term US Afghan Combat;” the “lunatic warmonger” Republicans who reversed course after hearing the “end the wars” demands of their constituents; how Obama essentially traded the domestic Democratic political agenda for the Afghan surge; how, despite the minimal drawdown, David Petraeus got almost everything he wanted; the hubris of Robert Gates, who had no idea the US national security state could be subject to economic limits; and why US strategy in Afghanistan is best described as praying for a miracle.

06/22/11 – Jason Ditz – The Scott Horton Show
Jason Ditz, managing news editor at Antiwar.com, discusses the Italian Foreign Minister’s call for an end to the Libya War after NATO airstrikes killed many civilians; how Italy’s abstention from the war would remove strategic air bases currently used in NATO’s bombing campaign; questions of legality on Obama’s Libya War, relating to the War Powers Act; how Obama shopped for a favorable legal opinion – and got one from State Department legal adviser Harold Koh; and how NATO is already tired of apologizing for civilian deaths, instead resorting to the “blame Gadhafi” strategy.

Adam Morrow, journalist with IPS News, discusses his articles “Experts Fear Israeli Design to Balkanise Arab States” and “Gaza Crossing Lets Trickle Through;” how Egypt’s Rafah border crossing with Gaza is technically open, but fails to function as a typical international border with regard to commercial traffic; why the US and Israel retain significant influence in Egypt’s military – which still runs the country; and how Balkanization is used as an imperial divide-and-conquer strategy.

06/22/11 – Sheldon Richman – The Scott Horton Show
Sheldon Richman, senior fellow at The Future of Freedom Foundation, discusses Obama’s speech on troop withdrawal timelines for Afghanistan; why getting troop levels back to pre-surge levels from two years ago is hardly a mark of progress; how Mitt Romney’s weak-kneed proposal to withdraw “as soon as possible” is seen by the MSM as dovish and isolationist; and the continuing US imperial wars in Iraq and elsewhere that seem able to go on forever.
