More from Provoked with Darryl Cooper and Scott Horton
We discuss the Iran war, regional security, the limits of U.S. military options and the risks of a wider confrontation with Russia. We examine Israel’s security doctrine, its influence on U.S. politics and Jewish communities abroad, and the humanitarian toll of the war in Gaza.
We (Darryl Cooper & Scott Horton) answer audience questions about our research and writing methods, including how we build from survey books, follow bibliographies, take notes, and draft by producing more material than we keep. We also discuss current and historical foreign policy topics such as Yemen, Gaza, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, with attention to how U.S. and regional actors are described in those conflicts.
In this episode, we discuss U.S. military involvement in the Middle East, including the withdrawal from Iraq and debates over American power in the region. We also discuss false flag claims, security fears, Netanyahu, Israeli politics, Gaza, and allegations about ignored warnings before October 7.
In this episode, we discuss the visit of Syrian leader Ahmed Al Sharaa (formerly(?) of Al Qaeda) to the UN... but near the end!
In this episode we speak with Bill Bupert of the Libertarian Institute about Saudi Arabia’s military limits and why wealthy states can still struggle to build effective conventional forces. We discuss oil wealth, imported labor, hierarchical structures, maintenance problems, and the difficulty of reporting bad news in military systems.
