Ep. 115: Foreign Policy for Reds
What does a leftist foreign policy look like? This week we’re talking about everything from the US-backed coup in Venezuela to the Israeli Occupation. Can’t help but also talk about Elliott Abrams’s unambiguous crimes, and Ilhan Omar being one of the few decent people in congress. Enjoy!
