The gist of the interview is that Ukraine will lose unless it receives the level of support that the west is simply not capable of providing.

You may or may not be familiar with Michael Hudson and his theory of Superimperialism. It was so influential in the seventies when he first put it on paper that the US DoD and maybe State Department used his (Marxist!) economic theory to teach people how to do empire more effectively and even called in Hudson to teach them about it.
In February or March he wrote an essay about how this war symbolizes the end of Superimperialism and dollar hegemony.
Even for us MLs who think about and engage with this type of stuff regularly, I’m not sure we fully understand how different the world will look because of this development. It was inevitable at some point, but it’s crazy in many ways that the empire itself has in a way chosen to bring about its own end.
