- Good except for it’s blind spot…
Such a pity Thomas has joined the ranks of those with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Just becoming like every other borecast now.

United Kingdom25 days ago - Mendacious rude nonsense
Distasteful jokes about blowing up women, brazen untruths about the war situation, absurd attempts to justify bloodshed and war crimes. Even Hitler comparisons, like it’s 1985. I can’t believe people take the commentator at face value. “Like and I mean”. UPDATE: the episode in the “memorandum of misunderstanding” eloquently confirms it. An hour of a dimwitted crashing out and insults. Hilarious.

Australia2 months ago - Delusional Dudes
Just go back a few months ago to hear Aimen talk about the US’s grand strategies for how they will win this war to understand how much you should not trust his analysis and most likely his interests that drive his analysis.
Also a complete lack of criticism of Israels actions in Gaza and Lebanon make it clear his morals and values are not based on clear principals.

United States2 months ago - We Win all the Battles but still Lose the War
I was out there for the Iran-Iraq Tanker War. My kids are old enough, but aren’t out there for this war.
Looks like we’re kicking the can down the road for my grandchildren to deal with an even more dangerous Iran.
Apple Podcasts5another RJFUnited States2 months ago - No longer an unbiased view
I used to really enjoy this podcast but not sure I can continue listening with the strong pro Israeli and US stance that is showing through from Aiimen. I wonder why he is so anti Iran?
