A Marxian Analysis by Prof. Richard Wolff | Six Dead in Russian Airstrikes, Hours After Trump Shelves Bid for Putin Talks

In this 44-minute in-depth lecture, world-renowned economist Prof. Richard D. Wolff dissects the breaking news of six killed in Russian airstrikes, just hours after Donald Trump suspended his bid for peace talks with Vladimir Putin. Far beyond the headlines, Prof. Wolff unpacks the economic, political, and military systems driving these events — revealing how global capitalism, empire-building, and class interests intersect to shape war, diplomacy, and profit. This isn’t just a story about Russia or Trump — it’s a story about how power works in our world today, and who ultimately pays the price.
