Summary

Scott was joined by Ted Galen Carpenter on Antiwar Radio this week. They first discuss the status of Ukraine’s counteroffensive. There has been a lot of coverage of some Ukrainian gains in the southeast. Less covered have been the Russian gains in the northeast. They discuss these developments and reflect on the reaction in Washington. At the end, they touch on the absurd GOP proposal to launch a conventional war against the Mexican drug cartels. Discussed on the show: “Is the United States Pursuing a Permanent Cold War with Russia? (Libertarian Institute) “Russia as the New, All-Purpose US Pretext for Military Intervention” (Antiwar.com) “Pakistan Events Confirm that Washington Prefers Compliant Autocrats Over Feisty Democrats” (Antiwar.com) “The GOP Declares War on Mexico” (Antiwar.com) Ted Galen Carpenter is a senior fellow at the Libertarian Institute. Carpenter has written 10 books including America’s Coming War with China: A Collision Course over Taiwan and most recently Unreliable Watchdog: The News Media and U.S. Foreign Policy.
