Republicans and Democrats agree on War. They love it. In my lifetime I have seen both parties gleefully start new military excursions all over the world, typically targeting poor countries.
Yemen has been called the poorest country in the world and Barack Obama’s war there has continued to kill through R and D regimes.
Joe Biden again extended our 20-year stay in Afghanistan and it remains to be seen whether he will remove all US troops.
Scott Horton may be the greatest voice in exposing the political elite’s obsession with empire building. His podcast contains so much information per episode that it can be difficult to absorb at first, but after a few episodes, you will start to understand the arc of US war over the last 20 years and beyond.
A great place to start is this interview on Dave Smith’s Part of the Problem: The State of the World with Scott Horton.
Horton has also had many informative episodes on The Tom Woods Show, in shorter format than the previous resources.
I particularly hope young people can access this critical information before choosing to join the US military. The American press is in collusion with the government to hide the death and destruction our elected officials are delivering to the most vulnerable populations of the world. People like Scott Horton are working hard to starve the war machine.
Once informed, many young people will refuse to participate in foreign military incursions. In this way we can force the military to focus on true threats to our homeland.
