Sorry but Shadi has got to be one of the least insightful people out there speaking about politics. He seems to think that the United States should exist to uplift Middle Eastern countries and constituencies and that if these entities are not democratic then they cannot be expected to adhere to any standards — that’s the responsibility of others I guess. And at the same time don’t you dare point out the bad behavior of these non democratic actors who apparently the US should be committed to the ... more
As a long time listener, I might just be done with this podcast. Episodes with Shadi and Damir have become very one note based on their personal ticks and favorite lines of criticism of those they don’t like. No real substantive discussion of these issues with people who can offer any counterpoints, just their repetitive grievances.
Really appreciate the frequent voices of Christine and Sam; it seems like they actually keep to the idea of getting at "first principles" rather than wading into dollar store political philosophy. On the whole it seems like there needs to be some better organization of topics and discussion. More listening and asking questions. Some episodes, I feel like I'm walking in a "DC Bro" dive bar near the Hill. If this podcast is backed by Aspen, I wish they'd push for better clarity.
This is a good one. Thank you!
So so so boring...
