Scott Horton Show – Just the Interviews

12/30/21 Daniel Larison: US Militarism Should Have Died With the Soviet Union

38 min • 31 december 2021
Scott is joined by Antiwar.com contributing editor Daniel Larison to discuss his most recent piece. Larison argues that the period following the peaceful breakup of the USSR was the best moment for the U.S. to shed the militaristic blob it had built up in the name of fighting communism. Instead, the military-industrial-congressional complex scrambled to find a new enemy. And the next thirty years of meddling in the Middle East and Eastern Europe have resulted in today’s messy geopolitical status quo. 

Discussed on the show:

“US Militarism Should Have Died With the Soviet Union” (Antiwar.com)
“The Looming Threat of a Nuclear Crisis with Iran” (The New Yorker)
