Jacobin Radio w/ Suzi Weissman: The Perverse Logic of War in Eastern Europe

Suzi talks to Dutch Marxist anthropologist Don Kalb, editor of Focaal: Journal of Global and Historical Anthropology, about the state of Putin’s war against Ukraine and the crucial historical, political, economic and social background of all the actors—not just Russia and Ukraine, but NATO, US–UK, Germany, France, and even China. Don gives us a comprehensive analysis of the moment we are in, the relationships between and within the worlds now in motion, and the directions he sees as this war unfolds, changing the world from this moment forward.
