Gaza: The USA's ‘Rules-Based Order’ Hypocrisy Has Been Exposed (Harvard Prof. Stephen Walt)

On this episode, we speak to Stephen Walt, Professor of International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School. He discusses the US-UK persecution of Julian Assange and why his potential imprisonment in the USA would have a ‘chilling effect’ on press freedom, the UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese labelling the US-backed Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza as genocide and the US’ abstention at the UN Security Council on a resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the egregious inconsistency of the US in following international law which is hurting its image around the globe, the Biden Administration’s dilemma in doing the right thing in cutting the military support to Israel vs facing the wrath of pro-Israel forces domestically during an election year, why he has called the Russia-NATO proxy war in Ukraine ‘provoked’ rather than ‘unprovoked’ like journalists in the mainstream media, what NATO’s goals are in Ukraine as the war becomes increasingly disastrous, the Moscow Crocus City Hall terror attack and much more.
