Joe (Not Avigdor) Lieberman on America and Israel’s ‘national interest’
No more dissent against Israel's blatant land-grabs in Jerusalem and insults against the empire! We are one nation, indivisible, after all.
Hey conservatives! – Who do you love more, Israel or the Pentagon?
Asks Charles Featherstone.

7/8/22 Kyle Anzalone on Recent Developments in Ukraine
This week on Antiwar Radio, Kyle Anzalone of the Libertarian Institute and Antiwar.com joins Scott to discuss the status of the war in Ukraine. Anzalone explains how fighting has evolved in the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine. He then moves down to Kherson in southern Ukraine as well as Snake Island off of the country’s southwest coast. They touch on the absurd amount of weapons and money Western governments have been sending to Ukraine as well as the accuracy of reported body counts. Finally, they talk about the lack of any real prospect for peace, and how the war will likely evolve as it grinds on.
Discussed on the show:
- “US Special Forces Vets Near Front Lines Training Ukrainian Soldiers” (Libertarian Institute)

Kelley B. Vlahos, featured Antiwar.com columnist and contributing editor for The American Conservative magazine, discusses her article “DoD Dodges Deadly Dust Data” about U.S Navy medical researcher Capt.
