Bob had a great discussion w/ Mike Elk, founder and senior labor reporter of Payday Report and our Brazil correspondent, about Trump's tariffs on Brazil to retaliate against it for indicting Bolsonaro, and the decision to arrest him for his attempts to overthrow the election and assassinate Lula. They also discussed Lula's political prospects and Brazil's position on Palestine. And finally they briefly talked about the role of U.S. labor in opposing Trump and, of course, Fetterman's latest horrors.———————————-🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org💬 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/M24GyqrS📰 Follow us on Substack: https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com🌌 Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast☕ One-time donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork📻 Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org🏆 We're in the Top 100 Progressive Podcasts (#68): https://bit.ly/432XNJT🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by Bob

Green & Red co-host, professor of history emeritus, and scholar of U.S. foreign policy, particularly the Vietnam War, Bob Buzzanco recently spoke at the Jerusalem Fund/Palestine Center Lunchtime Lecture Series on the way the U.S. subverts liberation movements, with a comparative emphasis on Vietnam and Palestine. In this lecture, he discussed the origins of the Vietnamese and Palestinian revolutions, and especially the importance of land, the initial U.S. interest in both areas due to larger commercial and resource goals, the U.S. "invention" of Israel and South Vietnam, the brutal wars subsidized and fought by the U.S. and the intersection of anti-colonial politics and the Cold War.-----------------------Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/3a6AX7Qy)+Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com)+Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social)Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) + Check us out!
