The UK’s War in Yemen feat. Sam Asumadu
This week, Nate speaks with Sam Asumadu of Media Diversified (@writersofcolour) about her recent piece on the UK’s war in Yemen–that is, the ways in which the UK arms industry’s relationship with Saudi Arabia means that arms sales continue no matter what. We also discuss a lot about UK domestic politics and the relationships between reactionary movements in the US and the developing world. Read Sam’s piece about Yemen here: https://mediadiversified.org/2022/01/30/britain-is-just-as-culpable-for-the-war-in-yemen-as-saudi-arabia/
For this week’s bonus, we go to the southeast border of Europe (sorta): Joe's in Armenia right now and he explains some of the local issues to Francis and Carey, and they also discuss a strange subculture in which Russian men try to cosplay as American rednecks.
