In 'Provoked: America's Role in the Russia-Ukraine War', Scott Horton and Darryl Cooper provide an analysis of how U.S. foreign policy decisions have influenced the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The book critiques U.S. meddling in international affairs, particularly in regions close to Russia, and argues that such actions have increased the risk of nuclear war and destabilized the region. The authors draw on their expertise in foreign policy and geopolitical analysis to present a critical view of U.S. involvement in the conflict.
In February 2022, Russia’s propagandists claimed that Kyiv would fall in the space of three days, yet close to three years later, the state of Ukraine still stands. This is, of course, not to say that Ukraine is winning the war, and both sides of the conflict are thought to be exhausted; both militarily and economically. So how long can Russia keep its war machine fuelled? And how long will the West continue to support Ukraine against its aggressor?
For a deep dive into this dreadful war, Piers Morgan invites author of 'Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine' Scott Horton, former Navy Seal who killed Osama Bin Laden Rob O'Neill, host and founder of The Young Turks Cenk Uygur, Ukrainian streamer and YouTuber Anastasiya Paraskevova and former NATO Supreme allied commander General Wesley Clark.
Then, for a quick update on the situation in South Korea, Piers talks to American political analyst on inter-Korean affairs Robert Kelly.
