Scott Horton Show - Just the Interviews

7/16/21 Doug Bandow on the Calls for Intervention in Haiti and a Cold War With China


Listen Later

Scott talks to Doug Bandow about the recent assassination of Haiti's president and the ensuing calls for U.S. intervention. Bandow warns about the perils of interventions like this, even when they are seemingly justified by the noble cause of humanitarianism. In Haiti in particular, he says, a history of disastrous foreign intervention is fresh in people's minds, and any military response is likely to backfire. Luckily, Bandow doesn't think Biden is especially keen on responding to the calls for intervention in this case. Similarly, in the case of China, where the more hawkish members of America's foreign policy establishment have been beating the war drum, Bandow believes Biden has no real desire for war. Unfortunately, with pressure shifting from the Middle East toward Russia and China, tensions could escalate quickly and even an accidental provocation could escalate to full-scale war if the world's governments aren't firmly and carefully committed to maintaining peace.

"The Tragedy of Haiti: Washington Should Keep Its Troops at Home" (Cato Institute)
"State Department Cables" (WikiLeaks)
"Wolf Warrior (2015)" (IMDb)
