U.S. Empire in Overdrive: They Can’t Win Wars But They Can’t Stop w/ Vijay Prashad
Rania Khalek- "When you add up the share of global military spending by the US and its main partners it's 75% of world spending-- compare that to China at 12%, it's apples to oranges." - @vijayprashad
Vijay Prashad joins the show to discuss a new publication from the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and Global South Insight. “Hyper-Imperialism: A Dangerous Decadent New Stage,” argues that the era of the U.S. Empire’s total economic and political reign over the world order has entered a new stage; one marked by Western decline, emergent Global South nations, and a Global North that can only over-extend itself militarily to cling to power but has no vision to offer the world’s people.
