For today’s show, Thursday host Allen Ruff turns his attention to the history of NATO with political scientist Harry Targ.

They discuss the war in Ukraine, imperialism, the “global NATO,” and Harry’s recent article in CovertAction Magazine, “Peace Movement Needs to Demand Dismantling of NATO.”

Harry Targ is a peace activist and emeritus professor of political science at Purdue University, where he taught foreign policy, US–Latin American relations, international political economy, and topics on labor studies. He blogs at Diary of a Heartland Radical.
