7/26/19 Hassan El-Tayyab on Congress’ Unusually Good Antiwar Efforts
Hassan El-Tayyab summarizes the efforts in congress to end America’s various wars in the Middle East, led mostly by democrats, but also with the support of some liberty-oriented republicans. Democrats have been accused of slashing the military because their proposed NDAA budget is smaller than the republicans’. But the critics leave out the fact that it too would mean an increase from last year, and is almost as large as the republican proposal. Scott theorizes that this multi-pronged campaign in congress may have been partly responsible for the recent announcement that the UAE will be withdrawing most of its soldiers from Yemen, signaling a possible end to the war.
Discussed on the show:
- National Defense Authorization Act
- “RELEASE: Rep. Khanna and Rep. Gaetz Introduce Bipartisan Amendment to Prohibit Funds from Being Used with a War Against Iran” (Congressman Ro Khanna)
- “Congresswoman Barbara Lee Passes Defense Amendment That Would Repeal 2001 Endless War Authorization” (Congresswoman Barbara Lee)
- “UAE Not Withdrawing From Yemen, FM Reiterates” (News From Antiwar.com)

7/23/19 Pat Buchanan on America’s Endless Wars
Scott interviews Pat Buchanan about his life in politics and the lessons we can apply to today. Buchanan was a committed cold warrior during the 1980s, but then advocated withdrawal of the U.S. from Europe after the Soviet Union collapsed, and urged that NATO not expand up to Russia’s border. Much of his advice has been ignored, and the consequences have been America’s catastrophic and endless wars. Today, he is optimistic that we will not have a war with Iran, since he believes that President Trump knows what a bad idea that is, and because Iran does not want, and has never wanted, nuclear weapons. This takes the main excuse for war off the table.
Discussed on the show:
- “Averting a Middle East Holocaust” (C-SPAN.org)
- “Whose War?” (The American Conservative)
- “Russiagate Is No Watergate” (Antiwar.com Original)
- “Trump: War President or Anti-Interventionist?” (Antiwar.com Original)
- “Is a New US Mideast War Inevitable?” (Antiwar.com Original)
Pat Buchanan is a former Republican presidential candidate and political analyst who advised Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Reagan. He is the author of Churchill, Hitler, and “The Unnecessary War”: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World and A Republic, Not an Empire: Reclaiming America’s Destiny.

7/17/19 Lyle J. Goldstein on the Consequences of War with Russia
Scott interviews Lyle J. Goldstein about what the “Russiagate” narrative means for America’s relationship with Russia. Scott and Goldstein remind us that a hot war would probably mean the destruction of both American and Russian cities with tactical nukes, and possibly the devastation of human civilization all over the world. For that reason it’s incredibly irresponsible of the media to push the narrative that the Russian government attacked our country during the 2016 election, and that any sign of President Trump’s conciliation toward Putin is confirmation that he’s a foreign agent.
Discussed on the show:
- “Europe Is Stuck between the United States and Russia” (The National Interest)
- Sevastopol Naval Base
Lyle J. Goldstein is Research Professor in the China Maritime Studies Institute (CMSI) at the United States Naval War College in Newport, RI. He is the author of Meeting China Halfway: How to Defuse the Emerging US-China Rivalry. Follow his work at The National Interest.

7/17/19 Jason Ditz on Iran, Yemen, and Afghanistan
Jason Ditz updates Scott on the news from the Middle East. Recently, a missing Emirati tanker that some claimed had been seized by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz was revealed to have simply been towed there voluntarily for repairs. In other news, the UAE has announced the withdrawal of its troops from Yemen, probably realizing it can’t win a ground war there, at least not without stretching itself too thinly and becoming exposed at home. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, seems content to keep fighting the war, since they want to ensure that the entire country is ruled by a friendly regime, or even a puppet ruler.

- “‘Missing’ Oil Tanker Was Towed to Iran for Repairs” (News From Antiwar.com)
