Leaving Arm Control Treaties Behind? Political Dizziness | Capt. Matthew Hoh

Capt. Matthew Hoh had nearly twelve years experience with the US military and the wars overseas with the United States Marine Corps, Department of Defense and State Department.

He has been a Senior Fellow with the Center for International Policy since 2010. In 2009, Matthew Hoh resigned in protest from his post in Afghanistan with the State Department over the American escalation of the war. Prior to his assignment in Afghanistan, Matthew took part in the American occupation of Iraq; first in 2004-2005 in Salah ad Din Province with a State Department reconstruction and governance team and then in 2006-2007 in Anbar Province as a Marine Corps company commander. When not deployed, Matthew worked on Afghanistan and Iraq war policy and operations issues at the Pentagon and State Department from 2002-2008.

Russia demonstrated its overwhelming military prowess to deter miscalculation or aggression, effectively conveying a clear warning to its opponent. This should be a clear reminder to refrain from underestimating or provoking Russia.

Very learned and articulate exposition by Mr. Hoh. Nima is a great conversationalist (he listens)! As the eminent American philosopher Sheldon Wolin has proffered, " we live under a very sophisticated system of inverted totalitarianism." - Joe Frisina BA Pitt (anti Viet Nam War protester as well as Ukraine and Israel)

Nima, Matthew, you are both two good men at a time when those are in critically short supply within public discourse and more urgently needed than ever. Thank you so much for fighting on behalf of our common humanity and doing the right thing. God bless you both.

War is the enemy of mankind, it can't give life it only takes it away.
War what is it good for, absolutely nothing.
