  • Ha ha ha.

    The Social Dilemma movie. The existential algorithm. Example right here. Americacast. Trump Derangement Syndrome. Good one. Biased D. Heads.

    More trump Derrangement syndrome from this biased indoctrinated podcast.

    UK sat on their arses and used a wet lettuce in the fight and never tried to have peace talks.

    Just constant rubbishing of Trump.

    “Trump is being played by Putin. Trump doesn’t know what he is like. “

    How ludicrous.

  • Depends on the presenter

    Not a bad podcast in terms of content, but unfortunately I find Victoria wilfully obtuse most of the time and it can be a difficult listen when she’s on. Contrast Vitaly and Lyse who are a joy to listen to.

  • Apparently impartiality extends to terrorists as well…

    Used to be a good pod but recently with trump coming in I’ve noticed a marked change. The whole thing now is basically, putin too strong, Europe weak and trump playing 70D chess….

  • Excellent show

    Excellent episode on 25 March in relation to the black sea ceasefire and the interview with the previous negotiator of the Black Sea deal. Really interesting insight into what is involved in good faith negotiations.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A: Proxy wars, drone walls, and Russian supply lines
Q: What possible responses could Russia have to the US supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine?
That response might be minimal, as seen in previous escalations where Russia opted for limited action instead of direct confrontation.
Q&A: Russia's veto power, Nato's Article 5, and Putin's succession plan
Q: What could happen if and when Putin dies?
The succession question is complex. While Putin intends to remain in power until 2036, potential successors are speculated but lack stability. If Putin dies, it could lead to a power vacuum, and the dynamics might change depending on how and when he leaves power.
Q&A: Russia's veto power, Nato's Article 5, and Putin's succession plan
Q: What sort of military agreement do China and Russia have?
While China and Russia have a growing partnership, they currently do not have a mutual defense agreement. China is strategically maintaining a neutral stance while leaning towards Russia without fully condemning its actions in Ukraine.
Q&A: Trump’s UN turnaround, Zelensky’s weapons warning, and Putin assassination plots
Q: Has Vladimir Putin ever faced any assassination attempts?
Yes, there have been various attempts, but none of them have succeeded in causing harm.
Q&A: Trump’s UN turnaround, Zelensky’s weapons warning, and Putin assassination plots
Q: What do you think Putin would do if Ukraine were admitted to NATO?
Ukraine can't join NATO while in conflict, and it's a red line for Russia, so it's unlikely to happen.
