12/30/21 Ray McGovern on the Dumb but Dangerous Tension With Russia Over Ukraine

Scott interviews Ray McGovern in this extended version of Antiwar Radio. They discuss the recent tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine. Both Scott and McGovern agree that there is no impending Russian invasion, despite how hard the American media are trying to push that narrative. McGovern gives a thorough explanation of post-Cold War U.S. Russia relations to provide important context often omitted. 

Discussed on the show:

  • “What! No Russian Invasion of Ukraine?” (Antiwar.com)
  • Shock and Awe (IMDb)

Ray McGovern is the co-creator of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity and the former chief of the CIA’s Soviet analysts division. Read all of his work at his website: raymcgovern.com.

Mikey Weinstein, author of With God on Our Side: One Man’s War Against an Evangelical Coup in America’s Military, discusses the ‘fundamentalist Christian parachurch military corporate proselytizing complex’ that Eisenhower never warned about, the ‘American Taliban’ Christian dominionists within the military who want to replace the Constitution with religious edicts, the danger of a military indoctrinated in end-times theology and equipped with a vast arsenal of nuclear weapons and why Armageddon is not a viable exit strategy for Afghanistan.
