Joe Biden is currently on a political honeymoon: the world is relieved by the fall of Donald Trump, and some of his domestic policies have surprised progressives in a good way. But what about his foreign policy? Award-winning investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill details his extensive research into Joe Biden's foreign policy history - and what it tell us about US power under his administration.
Biden's militarism, support for Israel, campaigns against whistleblowers - these are truths which need to be confronted.
And there's a key question - will the left let Biden off the hook for horrors abroad which they'd be loudly condemning if it was a Republican at the helm?

84. Joe Biden's imperialist history exposed

Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast. Hosted on Acast.
