Journalist Andrew Cockburn, author of the new book The Spoils of War, explains why the United States’ astronomical Pentagon budget hasn’t led to better national defense and what’s driving the growth of the military industrial complex today.

Weekends with Ana Kasparian and Nando Vila features free-flowing and humorous commentary on current events and political strategy. This is the podcast version of the show from October 22, 2021, with producer Cale filling in for Nando.
