Description
Scott interviews Ben Freeman about the money governments like Saudi Arabia and Ukraine invest in D.C. lobbying. They begin by discussing the Middle East Institute, a Saudi-funded D.C. Think Tank that brands itself as an objective institution studying the Middle East when, in reality, its “experts” always happen to argue for what the Saudi regime desires. They then turn to the rest of the world and observe how awful and dangerous the rhetoric coming out of D.C. think tanks is concerning Russia and China.
Discussed on the show:
“Gulf funded think tank turns pro-Saudi, UAE messaging up to 11” (Responsible Statecraft)
“Why the “end the Yemen war” narrative is problematic” (Middle East Institute)
“Army of Ukraine lobbyists behind unprecedented Washington blitz” (Responsible Statecraft)
“Tell us how this war in Ukraine ends” (Responsible Statecraft)
