10/10/22 Medea Benjamin on the Need for Peace in Ukraine
Scott interviews co-founder of CODEPINK Medea Benjamin about the antiwar movement and the risks brought about by the war in Ukraine. They start out with a discussion of how the antiwar movement has evolved since the George W. Bush years before digging into the need for off-ramps in the conflict against Russia. Benjamin argues the war fever in Washington is blinding the establishment to the risks and that the war-caused economic turmoil which lies ahead will breed unrest across the globe.
Discussed on the show:
- “Biden calls the ‘prospect of Armageddon’ the highest since the Cuban missile crisis” (New York Times)
- War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict by Medea Benjamin and Nicholas Davies
- Peace in Ukraine Coalition
Medea Benjamin is the co-founder of the women-led peace group CODEPINK and the co-founder of the human rights group Global Exchange. She is the author of ten books, and writes regularly for The Guardian, The Huffington Post, CommonDreams, Alternet, and The Hill, among others. Find her on Twitter @medeabenjamin.
