Samuel Moyn, author of the new book Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War, joins Weekends to explain why the US shifted to “humane” forms of warfare to justify and perpetuate never-ending foreign interventions.

Weekends with Ana Kasparian and Nando Vila features free-flowing and humorous commentary on current events and political strategy. This is the podcast version of the show from October 1, 2021, with Cale Brooks filling in for Ana.
