In this bonus episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd welcomes back Scott Horton, director of the Libertarian Institute and editorial director of Antiwar.com, to discuss his new book Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine. The conversation delves into the historical and political missteps that led to the current geopolitical tensions involving Ukraine, Russia, NATO, and U.S. foreign policy. They explore themes such as the dangers of U.S. hegemony, the moral failures of government leaders, and the critical need for Christians to hold leaders accountable for pursuing peace.

Horton provides a detailed examination of the policies, treaties, and decisions made by multiple U.S. administrations, highlighting how these actions provoked the conflict in Ukraine. The discussion underscores the hypocrisy in American foreign policy, the role of propaganda, and the need for consistent ethical standards. Jacob contextualizes these insights within a biblical framework, emphasizing the eternal kingdom of Christ over worldly empires. This episode offers both a critique of modern geopolitics and a call for Christians to embody peacemaking principles in their engagement with political issues.
