Alternative Visions- US-Zelensky Minerals Deal + Restructuring the US Empire (Part 2)

 What’s behind the Minerals deal with Ukraine? Why it’s mostly smoke & mirrors, not a contract or final deal. Why both parties compromised & left the deal vague. Who benefits from the deal? How it’s related to Europe’s $260B frozen Russian assets. Why it’s PR. Second part of show continues discussion of the intensifying contradictions behind continuing the US global empire. Why the empire as now structured is no longer affordable and US imperialists are intent on restructuring it (once again as in 1913-19, 1944-50 and 1979-86). US deficits & debt levels unsustainable and DOGE spending cuts for tax cuts as desperate effort to regrow faltering US economy and restore empire’s finances. Domestic US economic restructuring as next phase of Neoliberal policy or as beginning of the end of Neoliberal policies.
