The United States has become synonymous with empire and endless war, American troops sit in 70% of the world's countries, and yet, most Americans don't know that. The military is joined disproportionately by a 'warrior caste’ whom carry this enormous burden, making a less diverse force and ensuring most of society doesn't see their sacrifice. And American tax dollars, funding hundreds of billions in unnecessary spending on global hegemony, are robbed from the domestic needs of ordinary Americans. We aim to change that. Join Henri, Keagan, Jovanni, Shiloh, and Monisha, six leftist US military veterans, as they discuss how to turn the tide against endless war and repair the damage America has caused abroad.

    The future of Gaza - UN Resolution 2803 - Ep 174

    Jovanni and returning guest Matthew Ho, a former US Marine officer and associate director of the Eisenhower Media Network, discusses the recent UN Security Council Resolution 2803, which sets forth a new US-led plan for the governance, security, and reconstruction of Gaza. The resolution, which involves the establishment of an international transitional authority called the Board of Peace chaired by Donald Trump, aims to demilitarize Gaza and shifts humanitarian coordination away from the United Nations. They delve into the resolution's implications for Gaza's future, drawing parallels to historical colonial patterns and external control over the region. They also explore the broader geopolitical context, including the attitudes of major global players like Russia and China, and the potential erosion of international law and institutions like the United Nations.
