EP:26 - Hezbollah in Latin America???

Darryl Cooper and Scott Horton reflect on the nefarious motives behind the US-backed coups in Venezuela and Iran as they dismantle the neocon agenda while providing highlights from the wild history of American imperialism. They address how far Hezbollah's network of support has grown and why. They also survey the foreign policy blunders that resulted in the very avoidable war in Ukraine, the Biden administration's heavy involvement in it, many missed opportunities for peace deals, and the insane nuclear brinkmanship of many US, NATO, and EU officials. This episode also features some righteous anger directed at the IRS, updates on the Martyr Made podcast, and discussion of the Libertarian Institute's new release, Empire of Lies, by Charles Goyette. 00:00 Introduction and Catch-Up 02:33 New Book Release: Empire of Lies, by Charles Goyette 10:00 Venezuela and US Foreign Policy 18:20 Hezbollah's Global Criminal Network... including Latin America? 33:22 NATO and Ukraine Conflict 42:41 Negotiations and Missed Opportunities 45:07 The Reality of Military Strategies 52:17 The IRS: A Personal Vendetta 55:56 Martyr Made Updates 01:15:23 Neoconservatives and Foreign Policy 01:18:01 Final Thoughts and Announcements (Cleaned up w/ the Podsworth app. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podsworth.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) 👉 Subscribe for more honest, unfiltered conversations that push past the noise. 🔹 No safe spaces. 🔹 No corporate filters. 🔹 Just raw, informed, and fearless conversation.
