    Feb 6, Season 2 Ep 1,249

    Mike, you and your staff are outstanding bringing the news to your audience that is no longer on 'the news' regarding military and international affairs.

    You clearly do your best to pronounce things correctly. However, you were a bit off today regarding the German city of Leipzig.

    Pro tip:

    When encountering an 'ei' or 'ie' combination in German, the second letter tells you how to pronounce it.

    'ei' sounds like the English word 'eye'

    'ie' sounds like the 'ee'... more

  • Good info

    I listen regularly and do feel it is a good perspective.

    Think it is overall good analysis.

    Unfortunately, he occasionally forgets that he is only using white source/ public information when inferring his analysis of operational and strategic Troop movements and diplomacy is accurate. From his background he should know this, and that the general public and enemy should not always know why contradictions in actions take place!

    It’s easy to be a sharpshooter.

  • Statement of the obvious

    Mike stays out of the politics and sticks to the narrative. His reporting is almost always spot on in retrospect. On occasion he makes me laugh, which is something I struggle to do anymore. What a world we have created for ourselves.

  • My Favorite Podcast

    I love the PDB show and rarely miss an episode. I look forward to Saturday and the Situation Report - great guests and very informative show. Mike’s cynical nature and somewhat corny sense of humor are right up my alley. I can’t get enough. Great job Mike! 👍

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PDB Situation Report | February 28th, 2026: Former MI6 Chief Sounds Alarm On Iran & U.S. Combat Aircraft Move In
Q: If you were a betting man, where do you think this goes in terms of the potential for conflict?
The intransigence of the situation suggests we may see an unresolved conflict similar to the Cold War line in truce, with no imminent resolution.
PDB Situation Report | February 28th, 2026: Former MI6 Chief Sounds Alarm On Iran & U.S. Combat Aircraft Move In
Q: What is your assessment of the character of Putin and the war in Ukraine?
Putin is ice-cold and wedded to an outdated vision of Russian history; the conflict with Ukraine is fundamentally about Russian identity and control.
PDB Situation Report | February 28th, 2026: Former MI6 Chief Sounds Alarm On Iran & U.S. Combat Aircraft Move In
Q: How would you assess the vetting of immigrants in the UK and the EU in general?
There is very little vetting indeed, and it's easy to insert sleepers or operatives into that group, creating a potential problem.
PDB Situation Report | February 21st, 2026: U.S. Deploys Largest Force Since Iraq & Buck Sexton On Political Brainwashing In The U.S.
Q: What's your assessment of what the other regional players are thinking right now?
Most of them are looking for US leadership, and they recognize the ongoing potential for instability given the situation in Iran.
PDB Situation Report | February 14th, 2026: The Iran–China Axis Exposed & Immigration Sweep Concludes
Q: When you think about business deals, oftentimes we're thinking microchips, we're thinking oil, we're thinking natural resources. The world does not work like that?
There are surface world economies and there are underground economies. And you have some countries that operate completely or almost completely in underground economies, you know, black markets.
