Endless interventionism: THE GREAT BETRAYAL

"In this insightful conversation on The Peacemonger channel, former State Department official and foreign-policy analyst James Carden discusses his forthcoming book The Great Betrayal: How the Democrats Became the Party of War.

Carden argues that today’s Democratic foreign-policy elite has comprehensively betrayed the best traditions of the party embodied in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s post-World War II vision — a world based on the UN Charter, great-power cooperation, reciprocity and genuine diplomacy.

He shows that this shift began almost immediately after FDR’s death on 12 April 1945 and accelerated under Truman, culminating in the permanent national-security state and endless interventionism we see today."
