The Trump administration's new geopolitical concept of "Greater North America" is fascist imagineering of international relations. It's imperialist, but a variation that differs meaningfully from liberal empire..and the implications are dire. Dr. Van Jackson breaks down his new essay in Foreign Policy magazine, "Trump's Greater North America is Fascist Geopolitics." Also this episode: Why the costs of the Iran War reveals it as a war for oligarchy; on Trump's willingness to sacrifice LA and San Diego to keep fighting Iran; and Senator Chris Murphy was barred from a US military base in the UAE in order for the Trump administration to avoid democratic accountability for the Iran War. Watching/listening recommendations: The Drop on Hulu; the Mother Country Radicals podcast series; and the song "Ain't Nobody" by Chaka Khan and Rufus.
