Brian Becker, host of BreakThrough’s The Socialist Program, joins the show to discuss the latest surrounding the escalating proxy war in Ukraine. Becker breaks down Donald Trump’s claims about ending the war, NATO’s role in fueling global conflict, and the growing disconnect between European governments and their people. “There’s really great alarm by the EU leadership that peace might break out in Ukraine,” Becker says, calling it a “bizarre turn in world politics” driven by European capitalists who are “groveling before US imperialism” that they now demand a more aggressive US posture, even at the expense of their own populations.
