Description: Watch the full episode: portable.tv/videos/bennorton Lee Camp is joined by the journalist and host of Multipolarista Ben Norton to break down what is going on between Ukraine and Russia. They look to the real causes of Russian actions in Ukraine beyond the Western war propaganda. The story goes back to the 90’s and the dissolution of the Soviet Union when the NATO powers guaranteed the Russian leadership that they wouldn’t expand toward Russian borders. They broke that promise. Then the story moves to a US-backed coup in Ukraine in 2014 and the fallout after separatist movements tried to secede. Norton provides this history and more important context in this moment of insecurity. Also in this episode: Naomi Karavani reports on a story out of the US’s failing medical system. A Wisconsin hospital sued to stop some of their nurses from leaving for better-paying jobs. The decision to stop them from switching jobs only held for a short time until another judge overturned the decision. The story highlights the farce of income disparities between healthcare workers and executives. Anders Lee goes back into the history of the board game Monopoly. The game was invented under the name The Landlord’s Game to explain the brutal reality of capitalism. Then in true capitalist fashion, the idea was commodified by big business and turned into a celebration of our exploitative system. ~ Full episodes of Redacted Tonight will no longer be available on YouTube.
