- Leftwing Lynacy
This is the worst podcast on foreign affairs available. Most junior high school students know more than the featured “experts”. The moderator is the absolute worst.

United States4 months ago - World opinion of the US has become more antithetical than your interview indicates
I was born in UK, live in Australia (as a citizen) and was reconciled to living within America’s subtle sphere of influence.

Australia4 months ago - Program with E. Colby on NATO
Colby is one of the smartest guests who have been on the program over the years. With respect to NATO, Agarwal is wrong as usual. 1) the Europeans have absolutely failed to convince the American public that NATO is worth saving or that a single U.S. soldier should die for Slovenia, Greece, Spain etc. 2) the bigger question on an invocation of Article 5 is whether European countries would come to the defense of other European countries if war broke out and if so, with what? Strongly worded lette... more
Apple Podcasts1Jim from Silicon ValleyUnited States6 months ago - Typical FPM Stupidity
I have listened to this podcast for a number of years and it never ceases to disappoint me. It is hard to stomach the stupidity of this podcast. In this episode, Ian Brenner who has always been a lightweight and has an abysmal track record just spouted nonsense. I do not mind people like Bremmer spouting his nonsense but I cannot stomach no pushback or hard questioning by the moderator. There are many issues which lend themselves to serious nuanced discussion. However, a high school civics class... more
Apple Podcasts1Jim from Silicon ValleyUnited States7 months ago - Really?
I get that Ravi is left-leaning and I can deal with that, but to openly call the conflict in Israel to the persecution of the Uyghurs makes him look ridiculous. Did the Uyghurs perpetrate a terrorist attack that killed 1,200 people, hiding in civilian areas?
