The antiwar/antinuke activist shows how militarism is detroying the American economy and our lives. In Part 2, he shows the bad effects of (a) NATO expansion & (b) our encircling Russia and China with "missile defense" installations.
He also discusses universities' increasing dependence on Pentagon funding (for war research); ... the allegiance of both parties to capitalism, oligarchy, & military empire; ... & how spending on infrastructure creates many more jobs than "defense" spending.
