For the main portion of this week's program, Eleanor speaks with international-affairs analyst Ben Norton about the economic factors behind the US/NATO intervention in Ukraine. Norton also explains what "petrodollars" are, and why they're important.
Then to conclude the program, what happened to Sweden -- why did the formerly 'neutral' nation join NATO, and surrender parts of its sovereignty in a defense pact with the US?
Ben Norton is editor-in-chief of the news-analysis web site www.geopoliticaleconomy.com. Hakan Julander is a Swedish actor and writer, and -- he says -- "a reluctant activist."
