Always at War – Going Nuclear: How Atomic Profits Drive America Toward Apocalypse
In this inaugural episode of “Always at War,” hosts Courtney Rawlings and Alex Jordan explore America’s continued investment in nuclear weapons despite their catastrophic potential. The episode examines how defense contractors and lobbyists influence policy decisions to maintain a $315 billion nuclear program that many experts consider unnecessary and dangerous, and investigates who benefits from these massive investments. They speak with William Hartung, senior research fellow at the Quincy Institute and an expert on the military industrial complex.
