From military strikes to media narratives, US power is sustained through more than just war. From Gaza to the Global South, its reach is felt through bombs, sanctions, and justifications that sustain them. What sustains this structure of power? What role does the Global South have in challenging it? And what does resistance look like in this moment of global fracture? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with historian and journalist Vijay Prashad, executive director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and Chief Correspondent for Globetrotter. He is also the author of ‘The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and the Fragility of US Power’, which he co-wrote with Noam Chomsky.
