3/4/22 Peter Van Buren on the War in Ukraine and the Origins of Russiagate

Scott was joined by Peter Van Buren for an extended Antiwar Radio interview. They begin with a long discussion of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, how it’s going and how it will likely end. Van Buren also explains to Scott why the invasion has made him more confident that China will not invade Taiwan. Next, they turn to all the new information we are learning about Russiagate. Van Buren lays out what we now know and fits all the new details into the broad timeline of the coordinated attempt to remove Trump and protect Hillary Clinton.
