from WPKN: Politics, Policy, and Planet Podcast · host Scott Harris

Interview with Matthew Hoh, a Iraq War combat veteran, former Afghanistan State Department officer and a senior fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network, conducted by Scott HarrisMatthew Hoh, a Iraq War combat veteran and Afghanistan State Department officer who resigned in protest over U.S. war policy in 2009, now serves as a senior fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network.  He discusses his views on the now reignited U.S. war on Iran, assessing the recent round of attacks resulting in the recent deaths of four more U.S. service members, Trump and Pete Hegseth’s leadership of this failed war and rising public opposition. Hoh will also consider Trump’s muddled handling of a nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia with no restrictions on the kingdom to develop a nuclear bomb, setting off fears of a new Middle East nuclear arms race.(Producer’s note: Due to technical issues with the guest's phone line during the interview, the audio has several drop-outs.)
