EDITOR—Economist Michael Hudson (follow at https://michael-hudson.com/) joins the program to discuss Russia’s booming economy, the economics of the Red Sea crisis involving US-UK military escalations against Yemen, as well as the implications of NATO (which should be urgently dismantled). Prof Hudson explores in depth how European mercantilistic colonialism engenders capitalism and imperialism, and with this process the whole edifice of massive exploitation and death we have seen for 500 years and counting. The Anglos did to the Native Americans what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians, with similar heartless ferocity, while the Spaniards established a system of Latifundia in Latin America that buried much of the native population in poverty and brutal repression for centuries.

Who Are These Russians & Why Do We Hate Them? (MUST-SEE)
140 Mins plus readREGIS TREMBLAY—In this film, I document a historical and factual account of why America hates Russia and President Putin, beginning with Harry S. Truman dropping the Atomic bombs on Japan in 1945 to show Stalin and the Soviet Union “who was boss.” It continued at its height with Ronald Reagan calling it the “Red Menace,” “the evil empire,” and a “godless nation.” Every president since has demonized Russia, and since he was elected president of Russia in 2000, Vladimir Putin. The fact is, Russia is a peace-loving country and Russians only want the same things we want for our families: love, security, and a prosperous life. Russians, who lost 27 million people in WWII, more than all of the allied countries combined, abhor war and want peace and harmony between all nations.

Despite much effort, no one, not even ambulances, could reach Samer, who was left bleeding for about five hours. While trying to crawl to safety, Samer apparently took off the protective armor that journalists wear while working in the field. Then another airstrike hit, ending his life. His body was later returned to Nasser Medical Complex, the place where he himself had covered the many martyrs and wounded in the weeks prior to his murder. All evidence indicates the targeting of the Al Jazeera crew was intentional.
