In this talk, Larry Everest, a correspondent for Revolution newspaper (revcom.us) and the author of Oil, Power & Empire: Iraq and the U.S. Global Agenda, and of Behind the Poison Cloud - Union Carbide's Bhopal Massacre, exposes U.S. lies to reveal what's actually driving its threats against Syria, why U.S. war moves are escalating now, how any U.S. attack would impact the people of Syria and the region, and why any such military action would be a war crime -- and totally unconscionable and illegitimate. Everest roots these latest threats, and the seemingly endless series of U.S. interventions, assaults, and wars, in the workings of the capitalist-imperialist system – not the whims of politicians or corporations. Finally, he analyzes how this latest U.S. aggression - and the system of imperialism itself -- are not only intolerable but unnecessary, and how it's possible to act now to transform peoples’ thinking and the whole political terrain – and possibly stop this war - as well as hasten a real revolution that could end these horrors and usher in a radically different and much better world -- one without imperialism and war.
