  • 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.

Q: Karen asks, recently I have been feeling that the US is getting in the way of a peace deal instead of enabling one. Is there leadership in Europe to make this happen?
