The far-right Modi government’s discriminatory ideas around citizenship have been a trigger for the massive demonstrations, but our guest explains that is not the whole story. Also on the show: A lowlight of the recent Democratic debate was when Bernie Sanders was explaining his opposition on environmental grounds to the new US/Mexico/Canada trade deal and the moderator interrupted with, “We’re going to get to climate change, but I’d like to stay on trade”—as if the two weren’t inextricably linked.

At several ceremonies on and around December 27, 2019, Trump declared that ‘now space is the world’s new war-fighting domain.’ And that the US would seek dominance in space.

They continue to succeed in the enactment, temporarily, of blatantly unconstitutional laws with this goal.

Among the issues discussed: why Iran has become the “go-to enemy” for the US in the Middle East; why, unlike other US enemies, Iran has no friends in the US policy establishment; why Vietnam is an ally today and a popular tourist destination while Iran remains a nemesis; why the Iran nuclear deal was actually working; why those who advocate regime change are wrong; why Iran maintains a relationship with the Saudis; and why we should be very afraid of the potential response to the US assassination of General Soleimani.
