Summary

Kyle Anzalone joined Scott on Antiwar Radio this week to go over some of the week's biggest stories. They talked about the German Foreign Minister’s admission that NATO is fighting a war against Russia. Of course we all know that’s the case, but Scott and Anzalone discuss why it’s a big deal that the FM said it out loud and on the record. They then talk about the deal to send heavy tanks to Ukraine and the immediate pivot made by Kyiv and its western supporters to now push for sending F-16 fighters. They put these escalations in context and also discuss weapons company lobbying, the Doomsday Clock and Zelensky’s apparent anti-corruption maneuvers. Discussed on the show: “German FM Says ‘We are Fighting a War Against Russia’” (Antiwar.com) “Lockheed Says It’s Ready With F-16s If US and Allies Choose to Send Them to Ukraine” (Antiwar.com) Conflicts of Interest Foxes watching the hen house?
