Episode 362: Rubio's Red Scare: On the first half of Empire on the Rocks, Medea and Marcy discuss growing opposition to the war on Iran and U.S-Israel military integration. On the second half of our program, our podcasters take a deep dive into Secretary of State Marco Rubio's "Cuba, the Capital of 21st Century Communism." The conspiracy-heavy document attacks both the island nation--long suffering under brutal U.S. sanctions-- and its progressive supporters in the United States. Is Rubio's Red Scare rant a pretext for military intervention in Cuba or a blueprint for persecution of the Left in the U.S? Or is it both?

The U.S. military has 60+ bases in Korea and 800+ worldwide. All of them pose grave threats to local ecosystems.
U.S. out of Korea, U.S. out of everywhere! https://t.co/RBDWpq3I3f
@codepinkalert Lindsey Graham spent decades urging more war, more bombs, more sanctions, and more military intervention. The world doesn’t need more leaders calling to “flatten” cities or “blow countries off the map.” It needs diplomacy, accountability, and peace.

@codepinkalert Senator Rick Scott had no answer for the humanitarian catastrophe U.S. policy is causing in Cuba. Instead of responding to questions about children dying, hospitals without electricity, and the devastating impact of the blockade, he resorted to the same tired talking points. The truth is simple: sanctions don’t punish governments. They punish ordinary people. They punish children, patients, families, and anyone trying to survive. No child should die because of a policy designed to strangle an entire country. The blockade is killing Cuba. It’s time to end it.

@codepinkalert John Fetterman calls himself the “conscience” of the Democratic Party while apologizing to Netanyahu for Democrats who oppose unconditional support for Israel. The same John Fetterman who stood by the bombing, starvation, and devastation of Gaza. The same John Fetterman who was the only Democrat to vote against the War Powers Resolution on Iran, helping keep the door open to a wider war. Watch, share, and let him know exactly what you think.
