Medea Benjamin - The Selling of the Ukraine War

Program Title: Medea Benjamin - The Selling of the Ukraine War
Description: February 24 marks the first-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Moscow’s action is a clear violation of international law. But it was not unprovoked. The NATO military alliance has expanded its bases right up to Russia’s borders. The U.S. and its NATO allies are sending more and more arms to Ukraine. Last week it was Patriot missiles. This week it’s tanks. What will it be next week? Fighter jets? The steady escalation of weaponry is music to the ears of the military-industrial complex. The longer the war goes on the more their cash registers go ka-ching. The continuation of the war is getting a hard sell from the armchair pundits and retired generals and their corporate media enablers. What will it take to stop the war?

Host(s):
Featured Speakers/Guests: Medea Benjamin is a renowned peace activist and social justice advocate. She is co-founder of CODEPINK and the recipient of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace Prize and the Gandhi Peace Award. She is the author of many books. Her latest is War in Ukraine.
