🕑 Added 2021-07-20 02:35:26 +0000 UTCThis is the first episode of Chapo all-stars Derek Davison & Daniel Bessner’s new foreign policy podcast “American Prestige”. To get more, go here: http://patreon.com/americanprestige
In the premiere episode of American Prestige, Danny and Derek get into the US's withdrawal from Afghanistan. Did the military intentionally botch the withdrawal? Has the imperial frontier contracted in any meaningful way? Will the Taliban gain legitimacy with the Afghan people?
Plus, an in-depth interview with Stephen Wertheim, discussing his new book “Tomorrow, the World”, which explores how and why during World War II U.S. elites decided that their nation should, indeed must, dominate the world.

Oh yea absolutely. AMLO spoke against the privatization but there’s no way he could reverse it now. When Cardenas did that and some land reform it was only possible cuz FDR was in office.

😮 Gosh, I didn’t know that! I was thinking of Argentina. This is a very significant difference between FDR’s foreign policy and our current unabashedly brutal imperialism. How shamelessly the “blob” apologists gloss over it.
