They talk about the internal dynamics in Putin and Zelinskyy’s respective administrations, Russia’s Kursk counteroffensive, media framing around Ukrainian victories vs. those of Russia, when western governments will inevitably give Ukraine permission to “take the gloves off”, new election interference allegations against Russia, and why the latter funded certain American podcasts that did not include American Prestige.

This busted a personal nagging mystery!

I've been struggling to understand evangelicals in politics and American foreign policies. This episode was a very helpful beginning . Thank you!

Valuable Foreign Policy Perspective as always

Derek really shows as always how much he knows about current events in nearly every region.

In addition, I really liked Bessner's question about Kazakhstan vs. popular protest in the modern age of state militarization. If you guys ever found scholars that focus on this topic broadly world-wide or in other regions, I think they would make for really good interviews.
