SCOTT HORTON: Osama bin Laden had a Bosnian passport | The Weight of Chains Podcast #001

Our very first guest is Scott Horton — American author, podcaster, and leading non‑interventionist voice in U.S. foreign policy. He is the director of the Libertarian Institute, editorial director of Antiwar.com, and host of the Scott Horton Show. His latest book, “Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine” (2024) argues that the war in Ukraine was the accumulated result of decades of U.S. policy — from NATO expansion to “color revolutions” to missile defense systems. For audiences with a strong interest in the Balkans and geopolitical fault‑lines, our conversation will link Horton’s thesis to the legacy of the Yugoslav wars, the role of external interventions, the uneasy stability in Bosnia, and what lessons America might learn from Ukraine and the Balkans.
