About this episode
The episode discusses the dangerous escalation of US military actions globally as a response to its decline.
The world is more dangerous than it's ever been. The US has escalated a campaign of reckless violence across the globe to try to offset its long-term decline. This strategy is not a Trumpist aberration but is fully backed by the whole American machine. The extreme adventurism we are witnessing is more dangerous than US warmongering up to now, not only because it's so widespread, fire-raising in multiple theatres simultaneously, but because of the utterly brazen and provocative way it's being conducted. All pretence at restraint has been removed.
