Book Club Kickoff: Deep Dives into Scott Horton's Foreign Policy Analysis

The LCI Greenroom: Open & Unscripted

In this special announcement episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd is joined by guests Mark Puls and Sean Collins to introduce an exciting new project: a weekly book discussion series centered around Scott Horton's latest book "Provoked." The series aims to delve into U.S. post-Cold War foreign policy, NATO expansion, and key conflicts such as Bosnia under George H. W. Bush, engaging various knowledgeable guests to explore the intricate details and primary sources cited in the book. Jacob and the guests highlight the importance of being informed about global issues, transparency, and debunking propaganda, with the first session focusing on the "unipolar moment" in pages 1-85 of the book.

The discussion also touches on the current geopolitical landscape, with skepticism about the implications of U.S. involvement in regions like Ukraine and Iran. Both Sean and Mark express viewpoints on Vladimir Putin's actions, NATO's role, and historical events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall and Pearl Harbor, drawing parallels between past and current international conflicts. Mark shares his excitement for an upcoming event next Monday, while Jacob encourages listeners to subscribe on platforms like YouTube to stay updated. The episode concludes with a heartfelt farewell from Jacob and gratitude from the guests, setting the stage for an insightful and thought-provoking book series aimed at fostering a nuanced understanding of history and global politics.
