Stephen Kinzer - on the US's immoral proxy war in Ukraine

Dissident Orthodoxy

Stephen Kinzer returns to discuss the coverage and lack of debate on the war between Russia and Ukraine. Bringing his well-earned experience to bear Stephen calls attention to the realities of war and the need for a rational conversation about a peaceful end to the conflict. We also discuss the existential risk of nuclear war and the US's lack of moral standing to wage yet another proxy war.

We also cover common objections (sometimes waged in good faith!) to supporting a cease fire in Ukraine.
