  • Simply the Best

    There is no peer competitor to Bonnie Glaser in her particular podcast space; she is indispensable, and I cannot believe that CSIS let such a talent go. Bonnie’s quality of questioning and guests are of genuine value to the listener. No sophistry here. I value Bonnie.

    Their is no peer competitor to Bonnie Glaser in her particular podcast space; she is indispensable, and I cannot believe that CSIS let such a talent go. Bonnie’s quality of questioning and guests are of genuine value to the listener interested in national security, in particular. That she was name checked by the intellectually dishonest menace, Bridge Colby, should tell you all that you need to know. No sophistry here. I value Bonnie.

  • Extremely biased reporting

    The China - Israel episode makes no mention of the 10000+ people who have been killed by Israeli military response (4000+ are children), nor the oppressive blockade that has been causing immense socioeconomic hardship on Gazans prior to the Hamas attack. The interviewee is preoccupied with portraying Israel as the victim- he tells China to look at itself in the mirror, perhaps Israel should do the same. Listen to what the millions of protesters around the world are saying week after week.

  • Very very informative…..welcome to the real Fake, Fuct & Evil🇨🇳 China 🇨🇳

    I love this Podcast - like many others they show the real China. I wonder if western governments are listening to this and other Podcasts that show what is really going on in China and how the Chinese 🇨🇳 Communist 🇨🇳 Party is really running the country and people - with all their evil ways.

    It is a pity that much of the knowledge that is shared on this podcast is not known by the general public - who only see and hear the propaganda that is put out by Fake, Fuct & Evil🇨🇳 China 🇨🇳.
