385. Scott Horton on Ukraine, Russia, Trump and Nazis
On today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by the liberty movement's foremost expert on foreign policy, Scott Horton! In addition to hosting The Scott Horton Show - on which he has conducted over 3500 interviews on foreign policy - Scott is the Managing Director of The Libertarian Institute, the Editorial Director at AntiWar.com, and the host of AntiWar Radio on KPFK in Los Angeles. When Howie mentioned Nazis in Ukraine on a recent episode, I realized how little I knew about Ukraine, the conflicts with Russia, how the U.S. ties in, and how Trump has influenced the situation, but I knew exactly who would! I dialed up Scott Horton on my Liberty Speed Dial, and he was kind enough to take the time out of his busy schedule to make us all more informed. This episode will make you so knowledgeable on Ukraine and Russia that it will knock your friends' socks off (if you have nerdy libertarian friends like me anyway). Enjoy!
