Biden's Desperation and the Human Cost of Cluster Munitions in Ukraine, with Medea Benjamin

As the war in Ukraine continues to take lives, many people worldwide question its legitimacy and demand an end to the violence. Yet even as calls to cease the conflict grow, the Biden administration has announced that it will up the ante by sending cluster munitions to Ukraine – a weapon banned by more than 100 countries worldwide. Today’s guest, Medea Benjamin, an anti-war activist and co-founder of the peace group CODEPINK, was shocked by the decision. Benjamin worked for ten years in Latin America and Africa as an economist and nutritionist for international bodies such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. She has authored many books, including her most recent “War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict,” co-authored with Nicolas J.S. Davies. She co-founded CODEPINK in 2002 and has participated in myriad protests to disrupt Washington’s war machine. MintPress is reader supported, independent media.
