Few have studied U.S foreign policy as closely as @scotthortonshow. His take is blunt.

•⁠ ⁠Israel built its secret nukes while U.S. officials looked away

•⁠ ⁠Iran’s program is about survival, not aggression, yet U.S. pressure keeps pushing them toward the bomb

•⁠ ⁠Bin Laden’s real plan was to drag America into endless wars and bleed the empire dry

•⁠ ⁠Iraq turned a few hundred Al-Qaeda fighters into tens of thousands worldwide

Horton says Washington handed Al-Qaeda exactly what it wanted and then kept fueling the fire.

03:24 – How Israel built nuclear weapons with U.S. uranium – and hid it from inspectors

05:53 – Israel's "strategic ambiguity" on nukes is a lie every U.S. official pretends to believe

07:56 – U.S. law prohibits aid to undeclared nuclear states, but no one enforces it for Israel

10:27 – Iran’s nuclear program began under the Shah, with Western blessing

14:02 – After sabotage and betrayal, Iran went underground with uranium enrichment

18:02 – Iran is a nuclear threshold state – they could build a bomb, but haven’t

20:23 – Why bombing Iran’s nuclear sites might force them to actually build the bomb

23:34 – Tehran says they’re not building nukes, but inspections are now broken

25:07 – Iran began 60% uranium enrichment after Israeli sabotage in 2020

28:47 – U.S.-Iran normalization is more possible than ever – Likud is the main obstacle

34:06 – Bin Laden’s actual goal: trick the U.S. into invading and collapsing like the USSR

37:01 – U.S.-backed Bin Ladenites in Bosnia and Kosovo, while they were attacking Americans

43:57 – The 1995 Bojinka plot proves 9/11-style attacks were years in the making

49:23 – Why Washington ignored Al-Qaeda attacks for years – as long as they fought Russia

51:00 – Bin Laden’s recruitment pitch: the U.S. is already at war with Islam

54:06 – The real strategy: give America its own Afghanistan, bleed it to death

57:45 – Bin Laden’s son: “Bush is perfect – he’ll bankrupt the U.S.”

59:49 – Iraq was the gift Bin Laden never expected – it made Al-Qaeda global

1:04:38 – Rumsfeld wanted a long war – killing Bin Laden would’ve ended it

1:16:07 – The "Clean Break" plan: Israeli policy, written by U.S. neocons

1:25:22 – Removing Saddam was meant to weaken Iran – it backfired completely

1:31:29 – Obama’s Syria war was a continuation of the plan – destabilize Iranian allies

1:40:01 – Chalabi conned the neocons with fake promises of a pro-Israel Iraq

1:43:20 – Result: 37 million displaced, Iraq destroyed, and the U.S. empire unraveling
