EP72: Four Questions You Should Ask About Military Interventions - Gracearchy with Jim Babka
Imagine YOU are a top-ranked radio talk show host. Much of your listening audience is gung-ho about getting the U.S. involved in yet another war (Ukraine).
What would you do?
Gary Nolan knew from experience that he could bring Perry Willis on the air to talk about the history of U.S. wars, their causes, their costs, and their consequences.
Long-time followers of the Zero Aggression Project know that Perry has written several stunning articles reviewing the history and outcomes of U.S. wars. They're collected at a special website called WarTruth.org (link below).
In the space of one hour Perry covered nearly every major U.S. foreign war from 1812 right up to our current meddling in Ukraine. He asked and answered four questions about each war.
This episode is your chance to hear this interview, originally conducted August 28, 2023.
We (Bill and Jim) consider this episode to be timely as we approach Veteran's Day, which was once called Armistice Day. Politicians too often use Veteran's Day to glorify war, whereas Armistice Day sought to remind people of the worst and most pointless war politicians ever caused.
