"Was the Russia-Ukraine War Provoked? | Scott Horton Exposes U.S. Foreign Policy"

In this explosive episode, Jillian sits down with Scott Horton, historian and author of Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine, to uncover the decades of U.S. foreign policy decisions that, he argues, fueled the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

From NATO's expansion into Eastern Europe to covert assassinations, missile defense systems, and color-coded revolutions, Horton meticulously pieces together how these policies escalated tensions with Russia rather than fostering peace. Was this war inevitable, or was it provoked?

Key Topics:

  • How NATO’s relentless expansion created a powder keg.
  • The role of U.S. weapons manufacturers and the military-industrial complex.
  • What missed opportunities could have prevented this war?
  • Shocking parallels between media narratives and historical propaganda.
  • Lessons the world must learn to avoid future global catastrophes.


This conversation is packed with history, hard truths, and insights that challenge mainstream narratives.
