Democracy Now! speaks to William Hartung about his new book
“The Trillion Dollar War Machine”
and who profits from the United States’ runaway military spending that fuels foreign wars.
Hartung says that U.S. policy is “based on profit”
and calls for a rethinking of our foreign entanglements.
“We haven’t won a war in this century.
We’ve caused immense harm.
We’ve spent $8 trillion,” he says

Over the past two months the U.S. has blown up at least 20 boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.
“80 people have been killed in what are extrajudicial executions under international law,” says Juan Pappier, Americas deputy director at Human Rights Watch.
The Pentagon claims the boats were carrying drugs but officials have acknowledged they don’t know who has been killed.
The U.S.now has 15,000 military personnel in the region.

Russian generals say all goals of the war will be achieved.
Russian economists say despite the pressure the economy will outlast Ukraine’s.
Even Russian fan-boy Donald Trump says that Russia is much stronger and Kyiv has no cards left to play in the war.

it is little wonder that President Vladimir Putin sees no reason for real concessions on Ukraine.
From the vantage point of the Kremlin, the war is going according to plan.
