Ep. 96: Neoconservatism, with Srdja Trifkovic

Mar 16, 2020

Author, journalist, editor, professor, and former broadcaster, Srdja Trifkovic joins me this week to discuss Neoconservatism. The "neocons" as they're called, have had a heavy hand in promoting disastrous foreign policy decisions over the decades, most notably the Iraq wars. Every policy they favor seems to turn out badly, yet their influence is still there. Where and how did they originate? Why are they called "conservative" when they're really anything but? Are we seeing their last attempts at relevancy as they further promote contentious relations with Russia? Srdja Trifkovic has been studying them and writing against their policies for years, and his knowledge of their movement is very helpful as he gives us the dirty details of the Neoconservative movement.
