We are speaking with Stephen Lendman.

He is the host of the Progressive Radio News Hour, a journalist and prolific writer, the recipient

of the Project Censored Award, and the Mexican Press Club's annual International Journalist

Award. Mr. L Landman, great to

have you on geopolitics and empire for the first time. Oh, here, boy, it's good to be on with you.

Now, you have been writing on a wide range of topics over the past decade and have published

four books. You've written on imperial arrogance and the Iraq wars, the Wall Street, oligarchy, the U.S. coup and you've written on imperial arrogance and the Iraq wars the Wall Street

oligarchy the US coup in Ukraine I'd like this interview to be a quick tour of

US policy around the world Syria Russia Afghanistan Pakistan Iraq China

North Korea Mexico Europe Trump or the failing American economy,

and internal political division.

Obviously, we don't have enough time for all of those topics, but for some of those,

perhaps the ones that you're thinking about the most these days, where would you like to start?

Well, I could start by just in general talking

about U.S. policy. The main problem in the world today is America's imperial agenda, an agenda

of permanent wars, imperial wars, devastating wars, targeting sovereign, independent countries.

We could tick them all off.

I think your listeners will be familiar with all of them.

They know what's going on.

They know more about what's going on than Americans do.

Americans really are very uninformed and seem to be indifferent about the things that government is doing,

tuning into television for their news, not realizing there is no news on U.S. television.
