President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team is full of war hawks and weapons industry shills. We speak with US Army veteran Danny Sjursen, who fought in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan before becoming an anti-imperialist activist and journalist, about what a Biden-Harris administration foreign policy would look like.

Sjursen, who previously taught at the United States Military Academy, also discusses how warmongering members of the West Point Mafia dominate the US government and military-industrial complex.
