Episode Synopsis


On today’s show we’re joined by Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a self-identified Republican who was awakened to the “imperial hubris” of the United States after 9/11. He has since criticized aspects of US foreign policy, especially the Iraq War, and is in favor of holding military officials accountable. Col. Wilkerson and host Esty Dinur talk about the role of APAC in US foreign policy, how big oil shapes US wars from Iraq to Ukraine, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and the threat of Trump’s Christian nationalist cabinet picks. 

Lawrence B. Wilkerson is a retired United States Army Colonel and former chief of staff to United States Secretary of State Colin Powell.
