Show Notes

On this episode of Going Underground, on the 20th Anniversary of the Iraq War, we speak to Dr. Harlan Ullman, Senior Advisor at the Atlantic Council and one of the architects of the ‘shock and awe’ tactic. He discusses the significance of the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, why ’shock and awe’ was not followed in Iraq and rather the tactics used were actually the tactics used in Operation Desert Storm in 1991 on steroids, the history of a lack of understanding and knowledge at the top of the US government leading to foreign policy disasters, the need for an opposition ‘Red Team’ to be an opposing voice in foreign policy-making in the US, the Russia-NATO war in Ukraine and his prediction of a possible victor and much more.
