  • Excellent Deep Dives into global geopolitics

    Has rapidly and justifiably established itself as an authoritative resource exploring the US empire and its collapse. Highly recommend.

  • Way with words

    Dylan Saba has an incredible way with words that perfectly describes the issue at hand. Excellent reporting and dissection of key issues in the struggle for not only Palestinian liberation but freedom for all humans. Bravo!

  • Wanted to root for this pod but the Lebanon episode took me out

    We are in enough trouble with Israeli expansionism without the need to entirely whitewash the problems within the resistance. The fact that “say what you will about Assad” is the totality of the commentary permitted in critical reflection of Hezb in Syria is embarrassing enough so as to render the podcast unlistenable. Big shame, unnecessary.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 12: Ecology of Empire w/ Abby Martin
Q: Why do environmental groups fail to address military impacts?
Abby explains the strong ties between environmental organizations and neoliberal funding, restricting them from criticizing the military's actions directly.
Episode 12: Ecology of Empire w/ Abby Martin
Q: What do you think is the current narrative regarding climate change and the military?
Abby suggests that while climate change is recognized as a threat, the military's role is often sidelined, focusing on solutions that maintain the status quo rather than addressing the core issues.
Episode 11: Deconstructing the Law of War w/ Jake Romm
Q: How did the War on Terror affect international humanitarian law?
The War on Terror introduced the concepts of unlawful combatants and de-emphasized the Geneva Conventions, allowing for killings based on status rather than conduct.
Episode 9: Venezuela Under Siege w/ José Luis Granados Ceja
Q: Do you read this attack as the Trump administration responding to the demands of the oil industry, or is there something else going on at play with Venezuela's oil?
Oil is definitely at the heart of everything that's happening; the U.S. seeks control over natural resources amid shifting global power dynamics influenced by China.
Episode 9: Venezuela Under Siege w/ José Luis Granados Ceja
Q: Can you talk about what precisely Maduro and his wife are even being charged with? What jurisdiction is the United States even claiming over Venezuela right now?
The entire process of their arrest is considered illegitimate; it is characterized as a form of kidnapping by a rogue regime attempting to take control over Venezuela's resources.
