This is my can’t-miss-it podcast, both for Second World War history and for current news from Ukraine. I especially enjoy episodes with the insightful Roger Moorhouse.
In the Ukraine episodes, the missives from David Alexander are always fascinating!
Fair and balanced analysis which is always trustworthy
Two clowns criticize America because Europe failed to make weapons. Somehow this is all Trumps fault even though he warned Europe that they were not spending 2% of gdp on defense after they agreed to it in NATO. Seems like European problem to me. Again they place on the blame on America and take zero responsibility in Europe, just give excuses about time and socialism being to expensive to have a military in Europe.
Oh my. They both suffer from TDS.
Brainwashed by USA mainstream press.
Indoctrinated They’ve drank the Kool-Aid.
Too late now.
So sad.
OK
