online – Ukraine War – Russia, China & the United States
October 11, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
The Ukraine War has become increasingly dangerous with nuclear threats and the commitments being made for a long war. It has also deepened and accelerated the Russian-Chinese military and economic “partnership” with enormous consequences for the world, not least the increasingly confrontational U.S.-Chinese competition for Asia-Pacific hegemony.
Join us for this discussion with Rajan Menon, John Feffer and Michael Klare and moderator Prof. Avi Chomsky in an exploration of these developments, their implications, and how peace and justice advocates can best respond.
Prof Avi Chomsky is Professor of History at Salem State University and steering committee member of the Committee for a Sane U.S.-China Policy.
