In his usual style, Scott eviscerates the narrative peddled by the mainstream media and Washington\u2019s warmongers. As most Americans believe history started on 9-11, Scott debunks the tired tropes and myths surrounding the terror war and gives us some real background into the Middle East and American relations such as: How Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan kicked off the interventions during the Soviet-Afghan war in the 1980\u2019s and the arming and funding of Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.  Why Bill Clinton\u2019s brutal sanctions of Iraq and stationing troops in Arabia were the direct reasons Bin Laden gave for his attack on the towers on 9-11. How George W. Bush\u2019s disastrous war in Iraq helped lead to the rise of the Islamic state,  Barack Obama\u2019s funding and arming of Al Qaeda in Syria and Libya in an attempt to contain Iranian influence, and how Donald Trump continues backing the radical Sunni jihadists in the Saudi war against Yemen. Scott also gives his keen insight into the current issues of the day as only he can and answers the questions: What was the real reason behind Soleimani being in Iraq and was he there on a peace mission with the Saudis? Does Trump truly want war with Iran or is he doing the bidding of the neoconservatives? Why are young people so easily propagandized into going to war and what can the right wing of America do to hold Trump to his promise to bring the troops home?
