Where they stand

A short read of where Scott Horton lands on each front we follow, drawn from their recent appearances and refreshed whenever they turn up in a debrief.

Iran

Ukraine & Russia

as of 2026-11-02
Israel
Israeli interests are pushing the US to suppress reporting on its role in the Iran war
as of 2026-11-03
East Asia

as of 2026-09-24
American power
The Arab Spring response was a series of US blunders: backing Mubarak, Saleh and Bahrain's crackdown, then backing jihadists in Libya and Syria
as of 2026-11-04
The global economy
Money will run out, printing has limits, possible real dollar crisis
