Lee Enfield is the proprietor of EnBlocPress.com and an Army Infantry veteran.

Pete asked Lee to come on to answer questions that reference his experience of being in the military. Especially what a soldier would think if a country they just entered had fences built around their legislature, and the press and politicians were talking about their perceived domestic opponents in terms of needing to be "re-educated" or handled like "insurgents" overseas are.

No revolution has ever sprung forth, fully blown and fully armed like Athena, from the brow of existing society; no revolution has ever emerged from a vacuum. No revolution has ever been born out of ideas alone, but only from a long chain of abuses and a long history of preparation, ideological and institutional. And no revolution, even the most radical, from the English Revolution of the seventeenth century to the many Third World revolutions of the twentieth, has ever come into being except in reaction to increased oppression by the existing State apparatus.

Conceived in Liberty v. 4, p. 441; p. 1555

George Washington Farewell Address

Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions Text

Hassan El-Tayyab discusses the great news out of Washington last week: the Biden administration has announced an end to all support for Saudi offensive operations in Yemen, and is appointing an envoy to help negotiate a peace deal. This is a great victory for all the grassroots peace activists who have worked tirelessly over the last few years to put an end to the world's worst humanitarian crisis. But there is still work to be done—the Trump administration's designation of the Houthis as a terrorist group is making it nearly impossible for aid organizations to send assistance to the people of Yemen, and Biden's team hasn't reversed that designation. Scott also reminds us that Biden could pick up the phone today and simply tell Saudi Arabia to end their war now. The fact that he hasn't done so means that peace in Yemen could still be a slow and messy process despite the recent good news.

Hassan El-Tayyab is a musician and peace activist, who works as the lead lobbyist on Middle East policy for the Friends Committee on National Legislation.

Scott talks to Lyle Goldstein about the U.S.-Russia relationship and the future of global nuclear arms negotiations. Goldstein says that after the Cold War, the world's nuclear weapon situation was mostly under control—as a result, people today have forgotten how dangerous these weapons are, as evidenced by the American government's willingness to let old treaties lapse. Today, explains Goldstein, there's almost nothing preventing another buildup and proliferation of nuclear weapons. Given the risks to our very existence on this planet, Goldstein stresses that getting along peaceably with Russia is among the most important issues in the world. At a certain point, we have to be okay with them handling their own business in eastern Europe without threatening to go to war over issues that are none of our business.

Discussed on the show:

"A deteriorating U.S.-Russia relationship is dangerous. Biden should rein in tensions" (Washington Times)

"Nyet means Nyet" (WikiLeaks)

"Ukraine crisis: Transcript of leaked Nuland-Pyatt call" (BBC News)

On COI #68, cohosts Will Porter and Kyle Anazlone break down Biden's first foreign policy speech as president. Biden's speech had little policy and most focused on slogans like "America is back" and "America is a country that does big things."

On Russia, Biden celebrated that he was able to extend the New Start Treaty with Russia. However, the rest of his comments on Russia were misleading and aggressive. Biden's rhetoric on China nearly match the hawkishness of his predecessor.

Biden said the US would be ending support for Saudi's offensive operations in Yemen. While this sounds like a positive step, Biden left a big enough loophole for the entire War Against Yemen to continue. The US will be stopping the sale of some bombs to Saudi Arabia and will remove the Houthi from the Foreign Terrorist Group list. However, this is similar to the US policy in late 2016, when Biden was VP, and Yemen was still the worst crisis in the world.

The most important part of Biden's short speech was what he left out. While leading with "diplomacy is back," Biden failed to address the two most pressing diplomatic issues, the Iran Nuclear Deal and Taliban Peace Agreement. Biden needs to remove sanctions on Iran so the deal can be restored, but Biden now saying Iran must return first and end all enrichment. Biden's position will likely lead to the death of the JCPOA.

... the natural inequality of ability and of interest among men must make elites inevitable, the only sensible course is to abandon the chimera of equality and accept the universal necessity of leaders and followers.

Vin Armani is back to talk about the recent Time Magazine article, "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election," in which the powers that be admit a secret cabal conspired to "fend off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time." There's a lot here.

Scott interviews Bette Dam about her reporting on the war in Afghanistan. Dam explains how faulty intelligence about enemy "combatants" has led to many unjustified killings, notably the war crimes by Australian special forces in Oruzgan Province in recent years. In such cases, the "Taliban" label can be used to justify the killing of any fighting-age male, even when many of these are innocent civilians. But of course even calling them Taliban is begging the question of who our enemy is. It was al Qaeda, as Scott points out, who attacked the U.S. on 9/11, and America basically wiped them all out at the very beginning of the war—since then, we have been fighting a pointless and unjustified war with no path to anything resembling victory. America should simply make whatever peace it can with the Taliban and come home.

Discussed on the show:

"How flawed information created a ‘Taliban’ threat" (The Australian)

No Good Men Among the Living: America, the Taliban, and the War through Afghan Eyes

"Tracking Mullah Omar: How the US failed to catch the former Taliban leader" (Perspective)

Matthew Hoh discusses the Biden administration's Afghanistan policy. Trump, Hoh reminds us, had appointed Zalmay Khalilzad to negotiate a U.S. withdrawal with the Taliban; now it appears that Biden's team is reversing that plan. Hoh says that this was to be expected: Biden represents the same entrenched interests that have kept America at war in the Middle East for more than 30 years, and so far his administration is issuing many of the same talking points as previous presidents have about keeping stability in the region, ensuring the flow of Middle Eastern oil and "fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here." None of these, of course, are legitimate justifications for what Hoh describes as an incredibly dishonest and pointless endeavor.
