Episode 71: Laundering Imperial Violence Through Anodyne Foreign Policy-Speak (Part II)
b'
Kinetic strikes. Limited military coercion. Robust sanctions. No fly zones. Military muscle. Modernization. All options are on the table.
So much of how we discuss U.S. militarism and imperialism is laundered through seemingly anodyne phrases, rhetorical thingamajigs that vaguely gesture towards an idea without conjuring the unseemly images of what\\u2019s really being called for.
In Part II of our two-part episode on \\u201cforeign policy-speak," we examine five more ubiquitous euphemisms and discuss what\\u2019s really being said (and what\\u2019s always left out) when the media uses banal phrases meant to mask military violence.
Our guest is FAIR\'s Janine Jackson.
