President Joe Biden met with President Vladimir Putin of Russia in Geneva on June 16. US-Russia “disarmament discussions have been pushed to the back burner. Instead, treaty compliance disputes have dominated bilateral engagements. Meanwhile, each side is rushing to replace and upgrade its bloated nuclear arsenal,” writes Daryl Kimball in Arms Control Today.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is intensifying technological and economic competition with China and using US-China military tension to justify an increased Pentagon budget. Congress is preparing to pass Sen. Robert Menendez’s Strategic Competition Act of 2021 (S.1169), which constitutes a de facto declaration of a New Cold War with the People’s Republic of China. It would codify a comprehensive, and systematic strategic competition with China as the organizing principle for U.S. domestic, foreign, and defense policies, and possibly for other nations as well.
For analysis of these developments, we were joined by Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson. He was interviewed by MAPA’s assistant director, Brian Garvey.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson is a distinguished professor of government and public policy at the College of William and Mary and was Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell from 2002 to 2005. He was the Keynote Speaker at Massachusetts Peace Action’s annual meeting in March 2019. Wilkerson is a critic of the US invasion of Iraq, the ongoing War on Terror now in its 18th year and the turn to a new nuclear arms race. He asserts the U.S. is not a democracy but a war state that forces its will on the global community, and in 2020 worked on bipartisan projects to prepare for the possibility that a defeated Donald Trump would refuse to leave office.

Beautiful person. Still loyal, supportive and respectful to his former boss. In spite of all he endured. So. America was fortunate to of had his service.
One of the most courageous military individuals to speak out! Thanks you!
Thank you Colonel Wilkerson for the truth. We need more people like you to speak out. Many current veterans against the top military brass are getting suspended and accused to see psychiatrist for "supposed" mental health problems.
Angry. I'm so angry at the lame ass attitude of people and how they don't speak up and remain silent and think, "oh you can't do much about war and war crimes." what in hells name is wrong with people. How low can we go.
Sounds like someone needs a popsicle.
Goes to show Walmart is the Empire!!!!
You are our brave freedom fighter please release your manuscript the world needs to know the truth the young need to know the truth . Truth telling is healing .
The US military has never willingly prosecuted anyone for torture. They have always chosen to do nothing or the absolute minimum possible if found out
God bless you Colonel Wilkerson
what is a tragedy? It is what is at the same time necessary and impossble.
You need to publish Larry. Don't be quite like you did during the bush administration.
Great interview!
So why did he do it? He is a hero?
God bless China 🇨🇳✊✊✊✊✊✊
Wait it wasn't torture, it was renditioning. Damn get it straight.
Is torture waterboarding? Or other things?
I pay tribute to MAP and the Colonel.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson seems to be a stand up man

Colin Powell was a much more respected than this piece of work!
Did he said anything fals in his statement ?!
He is a brave freedom fighter and I can't wait for his manuscript to come out ✊❤
Not by the Washington establishment he wasn't. They considered him a useful tool. He was their 'boy' all the way to how he would say yes Massa to whatever they told him to say and do.
