CJ continues to slog away on the first installment in the upcoming World War I Propaganda in the US mini-series, but he recently decided to take a brief break from that to talk about some historical tendencies that, unfortunately, seem to be repeating themselves in real time. Join CJ as he discusses the various ways that economics & the desire to distract from political problems at home often cause unnecessary wars, plus a few noteworthy examples of American leaders who resisted the urge to go to war despite economic and political problems at home.
