30 more years of war? There is no end in sight.
In this episode of CrossTalk, three experts discuss the perpetual state of war that the United States has been in during recent times.
One of the essential functions of the corporate media is to marginalise or silence acknowledgement of the history – and continuation – of Western imperial aggression.
