Listen now | With the war in Ukraine on our minds, we talk to author Catherine Liu about how class position affects daily life, particularly on the issue of war and peace. How does your class identity shape your understanding of and interactions with American militarism? Catherine makes the great point that the massive wealth commanded by the American military’s adventurism is a cost paid by American civilians, and that today’s military conflicts are used to avoid the implementation of a robust healthcare system.
Catherine’s wrap up of the ‘young people’ of today was spot on, the economic struggles and social anxieties are pervasive and debilitating.
Those who were crying over Bernie’s forthrightness and ‘simple’ humanist solutions are being thrown to the wolves of capitalism. Who has the answers as well as the power to reset our systems?
The greedy have an inhuman strength and countless indentured minions to do their dirty work.
Fact check: It was not Sarajevo that was bombed in 1999 by NATO troops, but Belgrade. Bosnia had already seceded from Yugoslavia and NATO used Sarajevo as a launchpad for strikes. I
Russia and the countries of the Middle East (OPEC and Russia Reach Deal On Oil Production) have different economic opportunities, which often complement each other. What can Russia offer to the region, and what is it counting on itself?
OPEC nations are refusing to increase oil production - guess $105/barrel oil ain't all bad from the "OPEC +" perspective , irrespective of other speculative narritives about Putin's motives.

Evgeny Vinokurov, Chief Economist of the Eurasian Development Bank and the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development;

Is Kyle learning what tankies are? He seems confused by his twitter timeline.
