Did you know:
- Putin wanted to join NATO?
- Osama bin Laden was once an ally of the U.S?
- The U.S supplied military equipment to the Iranian regime through Israel?
- The U.S. supplied chemical weapons to Iraq’s Saddam Hussein?
- Israel and Iran were once VERY close allies?
So how did we get here?
How did the U.S and Russia get into a proxy war, Iran and Israel at a full blown war with the U.S. bombing Iran, Osama bin Laden committing the worse terrorist attack in U.S history, the U.S. declaring war on Iraq and deposing Saddam Hussein?
In this eye-opening conversation, @ScottHortonShow does an incredible job breaking down U.S. foreign policy over the last few decades, how it led to the above tragic outcomes, and why it is accelerating the fall of the U.S. empire.
In this exclusive, we cover:
- How America turned allies into enemies.
- NATO’s broken promises & why expansion was always a trap.
- The Iraq War disaster - and who really planned it.
- Why Ukraine’s revolution was never about democracy.
- The blueprint to overextend Russia.
- Why endless war isn’t failure, it’s the system working exactly as designed.
In Horton’s view, U.S. foreign policy is no accident.
It’s a machine - built to expand, to dominate, and to ensure America’s wars never end.
