Imperialism on the March: Africa, Syria, and Beyond
Eric Draitser appears on WBAI 99.5 FM (NYC) for part 2 of his interview on imperialism in the world today.
He describes in detail what the US and its neocolonial NATO
allies are doing in Africa, with close attention to the grand strategy
of militarily checking the economic influence of China. Draitser
examines some of the volatile conflicts on the continent, attempting to
trace how they relate to the US-NATO regional and global hegemonic
agenda.
From there, he provides his analysis of Syria and the US role in
the rise of ISIS/ISIL, as well as Washington’s militarization of Latin
America in order to stifle its independence and growing alliances with
the non-western world. Finally, Draitser touches on the current
situation in Haiti and the grand strategy of containing China through
the Asia Pivot and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. All this and much much
more in this wide-ranging interview.
