BOOK CLUB#2: The War in Ukraine with Randy LaPrairie

In this installment of Book Club we are joined by local professor and expert in the sociology of American militarism and imperialism Randy LaPrairie to discuss the new book from peace activist Medea Benjamin and author Benjamin J.S. Davies "War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict."

 

In our sprawling discussion we talk about the U.S.'s role in the conflict, the important (and often obscured) recent history in Ukraine leading up to the war, the role of far-right elements in Ukraine, the media's role in exacerbating the conflict and censoring anti-war voices, and the alarming prospect of nuclear war.
