“Really sad to see this otherwise informative podcast shoot it’s political objectivity in the foot recently, by accepting sponsorship from @Raytheon - one of the most disgusting corporations on earth. They don’t get much more military industrial complex than Raytheon: the corporation that lobbies politicians to buy their arms, promising them jobs for their constituents (among other kickbacks), while their shareholders sit back and salivate over the profits they are gleaning from the bombing of civilians (aka collateral damage), with so-called ‘smart’ weapons.
Raytheon hopes that it’s their ‘defense partners’ that are the audience to this show. But we all know that ‘defense partner’ is a euphemism for something much more sinister, and that the operative mantra here is full spectrum dominance. In other words, that the western way of life, with all its platitudes about democracy and liberalism, is really nothing other than an alibi for keeping the great global unwashed under control, and far away from our shores. Cheap resources? Tough. They’re ours now. Thanks Raytheon, we couldn’t maintain the empire without you!
Shame on politico for stooping to this.”
