3/4/22 Peter Van Buren on the War in Ukraine and the Origins of Russiagate
Scott was joined by Peter Van Buren for an extended Antiwar Radio interview. They begin with a long discussion of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, how it’s going and how it will likely end. Van Buren also explains to Scott why the invasion has made him more confident that China will not invade Taiwan. Next, they turn to all the new information we are learning about Russiagate. Van Buren lays out what we now know and fits all the new details into the broad timeline of the coordinated attempt to remove Trump and protect Hillary Clinton.
Discussed on the show:
- “Ukraine Is Redefining America’s Interests” (The Atlantic)
- “John Mearsheimer & Ray McGovern on Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine” (Antiwar.com Blog)
- “More Questions About Russiagate” (The American Conservative)
Peter Van Buren worked for 24 years at the Department of State including a year in Iraq. He is the author of We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People and the novel Hooper’s War. He is now a contributing editor at The American Conservative magazine.

09/06/10 – Michael O’Brien – The Scott Horton Show
Michael O’Brien, author of America’s Failure in Iraq, discusses the media’s focus on troop escalations while ignoring the larger private contractor surges, the ease of starting wars and keeping them going since Congress abdicated its Constitutional responsibility, the inexcusable failures of the Coalition Provisional Authority and Paul Bremer, the primary purposes of contractors in Iraq: generate billable hours and stay alive, the critical questions not asked in the Fox News poll about U.S. opinion on the Iraq War, how Gen. Petraeus got promoted twice after losing 190,000 weapons meant for Iraqi security forces and why the surge’s success (even supposing it worked) in 2007 doesn’t retroactively justify the 2003 invasion.
