103. David Barsamian on war in Ukraine and the military-industrial complex

On this edition of Free City Radio David Barsamian, host of Alternative Radio, speaks on war in Ukraine and the military-industrial complex. A critical look at who benefits from war and also the historical context to the conflict between Russia and the U.S. A look at these contextual issues are not rooted in any attempt to minimize the urgency of focusing on the war crimes being committed against civilians in Ukraine, as have been documented by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, but is an attempt to provide historical context to the current war beyond the headlines. Additional David speaks about the persisting importance of thinking beyond the box in regards to mainstream media framings on war and imperialism. Music on this edition is an excerpt of DakhaBrakha's track Baby, a music ensemble based in Kiev, as performed on KEXP. Thank you to Frank Barat for sharing this track. Free City Radio is hosted by Stefan @spirodon Christoff
