  • Liberal talking points

    The show makes little attempt to hide its ideological biases, espousing the same weak, apologetic, globalist strategies that have emboldened adversaries like Russia before its invasion of Ukraine and the PRC as it seeks to coerce its neighbors throughout the Indo-Pacific Region.

  • Shanghai summit

    Excellent overview. So good to hear an Asian rather than Western focus on what these events mean. Keep up the good work 👍

  • Common Curtesy

    Great topics & interesting guests.

    Rude though to keep cutting off an interview partner like that (May 28th).

    Just do a better editing job and don’t waste time on remarks about yourself and the show if you are so worried about time.

  • Beltway Convention

    More left-of-center conventional commentary with little actual analysis and a lot of “sort of”s and buzzword churn.
