Podcasts about arms sales

1 /200 doesn't usually get former US State Department officers as guests, but Dr. Annelle Sheline is no ordinary former State Department officer. Having famously quit her job in protest at the Biden administration's unequivocal backing for Israel's war on Gaza, she recently sat down with Branko Marcetic to talk about how a US foreign policy that puts military power over human rights hurts everyone - including the United States itself.https://quincyinst.org/research/under-primacy-weapons-sales-will-always-supersede-human-rights/This episode's co-hostsBrankoTimestamps0:00 Opening 1:30 Arms Sales in US Foreign Policy6:59 Competition with China13:16 U.S Cost of Supporting Israel17:17 Bidens Damage to Human Rights24:59 Shared Interests of Hegemony30:01 Biden Decision Making for Gaza38:48 Delusion and Denial48:56 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

President Donald Trump seeks to ease the foreign arms sales process for U.S. defense companies. Trump signed an executive order aimed at reducing rules and regulations governing military equipment sales to other countries. Both industry and foreign nations have long complained about the process that has been plagued by bureaucratic delays and lengthy approval procedures. Trump instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to identify top-priority ally nations and the most strategically important weapons and systems for faster delivery to those countries. The executive order also directs Hegseth, Rubio and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to submit a plan that makes exportability a requirement earlier in the acquisition cycle and consolidates the sales approval process.

In a sign of warming Turkish relations, European leaders have started lifting their opposition to key military hardware sales, to the alarm of Turkey's rival Greece. The move comes as Turkey, Nato's second-largest army, is viewed as potentially playing a key role in Europe's security goals as doubts grow over Washington's commitment to the continent's defence. Greece is reacting furiously against France over the potential sale of the Meteor air-to-air missile to Turkey. The missile sale and the Turkish bid to procure Europe's Eurofighter threatened to erase Greece's military edge over its rival Turkey.Despite France and Greece recently signing a defence pact, French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly rejected Greek calls to block the missile sale, which is made by a European consortium headquartered in France."I think that France's decision is related to what is going on in Ukraine," claims international relations Professor Federico Donelli of Trieste University in Italy"Turkey and European countries have the same geo-strategic interest," adds Donelli. "If you ask Turkey and Turkish policymakers, for them, the main threat to the security and stability of the country and integrity of the country remain Russia. So I think that on this point that France, Turkey, even other European countries converge".Turkey's Erdogan sees new Trump presidency as opportunityForceWith more than 800,000 personnel in its armed forces, including reservists, Turkey is Nato's second-largest army.The importance of the Turkish military to European security could be ascending with the looming threat of Russia and Washington demanding Europe take more responsibility for its defence."We think it's an important part of being in a shared alliance together that the Europeans step up while America focuses on areas of the world that are in great danger," warned United States Vice President JD Vance at this month's Munich Security Conference.Turkey's poor human rights record has strained relations with the European Union, along with the authoritarian reputation of the Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan. But such concerns are being trumped by security fears."After the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Turkey is starting to be perceived by Nato members as an important ally," explains Donelli."Maybe it's not the best ally ever because we know that Turkey's not an easy partner, but at the same time it is the most useful one". Turkish President Erdogan ready to rekindle friendship with TrumpThreatEuropean leaders met this month to discuss Ukraine and the security threat facing the continent. With the Turkish army dwarfing its European counterparts, Ankara says it can play a key role in Europe's defence."European allies understood that without Turkey, we cannot continue the defence of the European continent and Euro-Atlantic security," claims Turkish presidential advisor Mesut Casin. "And is Turkey ready to support this European security and defence capability? The answer is: 'Yes.'"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, too, is eyeing Turkey's military. During his visit to Turkey on Tuesday, Zelenskyy underlined the importance of Ukraine's allies deploying soldiers to guarantee any peace agreement reached with Russia."Two issues that are very, very important: a strong Ukrainian army, and the deployment in Ukraine from other armies like from Europe, and the United States, our partners," declared Zelensky at a joint press conference with Erdogan.Zelensky said he had discussed the issue with Erdogan but that it was too early to reveal the outcome of the talks. While Erdogan has close ties with his Ukrainian counterpart, the Turkish leader has also maintained good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.Casin insists if all agree, Ankara is well placed to assist. "Turkey, maybe we send our troops to peacekeeping operations. Why do I say it like this? Turkey joined many UN peacekeeping operations, and the Turkish army is very powerful," said Casin.The Turkish military has participated in some of the world's most difficult UN peacekeeping operations, from Kosovo to Somalia.However, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov ruled out any Nato peacekeepers in Ukraine. Nevertheless, the importance of Turkey's large and capable army could still play a key role in Europe as European concerns grow over the reliability of their American ally.

On today's show: Israel's “Killing Machine”: How U.S. Military Support Is Undercutting Ceasefire Talks, Prolonging War Biden Admin Quietly Approves 100+ Arms Sales to Israel While Claiming Concern for Civilians in Gaza   The post Democracy Now 6am – March 7, 2024 appeared first on KPFA.

Our editors' weekly take on humanitarian news, trends, and developments from around the globe.

This week, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders used a little-known, decades-old law to force the Senate to vote on whether to request an investigation of potential human rights abuses by Israel in its war against Hamas. The obscure process that Sanders used is known as Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act. The law allows Congress to request a mandatory human rights report from the State Department on a specified country. And if the State Department does not provide a report within 30 days of the request, U.S. security assistance to the target country stops. While the resolution ultimately failed on January 16, it shows that Section 502B has the potential to become a powerful tool for forcing public discussion about alleged human rights and the United States' role in facilitating them. Joining the show to unpack how Section 502B works, along with its history and new efforts to use it, is John Chappell. John is an Advocacy & Legal Fellow at the Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC). He's an expert on Section 502B. Show Notes: John Ramming Chappell (@jwrchappell) Paras Shah (@pshah518) John's Just Security article on Senator Sanders' Section 502B resolution Just Security's arms sales coverageJust Security's Congressional oversight coverageJust Security's Israel-Hamas War coverageMusic: “The Parade” by “Hey Pluto!” from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/hey-pluto/the-parade (License code: 36B6ODD7Y6ODZ3BX)Music: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)
