Scott Horton on the Russia Hoax and Ukraine War – #98

In this episode of Manifold, Steve Hsu interviews Scott Horton, director of the Libertarian Institute and editorial director of Antiwar.com, about Russiagate and the lead-up to the Ukraine War. Horton argues that the CIA, FBI, and Democrats framed Donald Trump for treason, detailing the false accusations and the roles of key figures like James Comey and John Brennan. He asserts that the Russiagate investigation was a politically motivated hoax and discusses the implications of the Durham report. Transitioning to the Ukraine conflict, Horton contends that NATO expansion provoked Russia, highlighting broken promises and the US's role in escalating tensions, while also acknowledging Russia's responsibility in the conflict.
