Lee Fang, a political commentator focused on Ukraine and international relations, delves into the complex threads between dissent, free speech, and U.S. foreign policy. He discusses the implications of the Uhuru trial and the broader crackdown on voices opposing the Ukraine war. Fang raises red flags about the growing government censorship, particularly the U.S. efforts to ban RT worldwide, which he argues is part of a strategy to control narratives. The conversation also highlights the dangers of labeling activists as foreign agents.
