- History
Jovanni is joined by Colonel Ann Wright, former diplomat and retired U.S. Army colonel who resigned from the U.S. government in opposition to Bush’s war on Iraq. Jovanni and Ann discuss the lack of interest for diplomacy, the detrimental effects of transferring weapons into conflict areas, and Ann’s recent appearance at the UN, stressing the toll of Israel’s genocide against Gaza. Ann stresses the economic benefit to weapon manufacturers and corporations as one of the primary motivators for war, rather than striving for peace and diplomatic resolutions to conflicts.
