Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP:31 [GUEST] Trita Parsi : Inside The Iran Conflict: Misjudgment, Sanctions, And Shifting Goals
Q: What are the forces that misled President Trump and how might they be influencing ongoing decisions?
He suggests a mix of Israeli framing and broader wishful thinking within Washington that overestimated Iran's weakness and underappreciated the regime's internal support and capacity to endure.
EP:31 [GUEST] Trita Parsi : Inside The Iran Conflict: Misjudgment, Sanctions, And Shifting Goals
Q: Trita, can you give us some clarity on what is happening and why?
Parsi points to a flawed, optimistic plan pushed by allies and misperceived Iranian weakness, leading to a shift from threat-based posturing to a costly war with uncertain outcomes.
EP:30 - [GUEST] COL. Jacques Baud: Sanctioned For Analysis: A Colonel’s Fight With EU Censorship
Q: How long do you think this regime of oppression is going to be sitting on you?
The sanction list is reviewed every year, meaning I could be under sanctions for life if not removed earlier.
EP:30 - [GUEST] COL. Jacques Baud: Sanctioned For Analysis: A Colonel’s Fight With EU Censorship
Q: What has the Swiss government done for you, if anything?
The Swiss government has not reacted quickly to my sanctions but later protested against the lack of due process.
EP:30 - [GUEST] COL. Jacques Baud: Sanctioned For Analysis: A Colonel’s Fight With EU Censorship
Q: So Colonel Baud, welcome, thank you for taking the time to talk with us today.
Thank you very much for inviting me in your show. It's a pleasure, pleasure to be able to express myself.
