Ukraine’s Nukes, Trump’s Trade War, and Mehrsa Baradaran on Neoliberalism

We deep dive into Ukraine’s nuclear past—how it once held the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal and whether its 1994 decision to disarm was a historic mistake, given Russia’s repeated betrayals. Then, we break down Trump’s latest trade war moves, as new tariffs on Mexico and Canada spark retaliation and a potential escalation with China. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israel has cut off critical humanitarian aid, pushing the region further into crisis. Finally, Mehrsa Baradaran, author of "The Quiet Coup: Neoliberalism and the Looting of America," joins us to discuss neoliberalism, corporate influence on policy, and the future of the global economy.
