This week on Ring of Fire, David Vine, professor of anthropology at American University and author of The United States of War: A Global History of America's Endless Conflicts, from Columbus to the Islamic State, joins me to discuss the staggering number of US military bases and how they contribute to our war machine… and how the Biden administration’s “pivot to China” might be a troubling part of that same dynamic.
