Under Trump’s Thumb: Ukraine, War and the Military Industrial Complex (G&R 367)

The Oval Office erupts as Trump and J.D. Vance take on Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a fiery public clash. It’s the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and G&R gets into the cost of Zelenskyy, Putin and Biden’s war.

We also talk about the DEI purge at the Pentagon. The smoke and mirrors of the defense budget and how despite an 8% across the board cut, the money is just going into other defense programs (plus an additional $100 billion coming from Congress in the next budget).

We wrap with a tribute to Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated last year in protest of the genocide in Palestine.
