Aufhebungabunga has good overall EU coverage

aufhebungabunga is worth listening to, but its also obnoxiously intentionally contrarian at times, and they have professional hot takers on who have no idea wtf theyre talking about like bastani with his "YOURE GOING TO CURE PARKINSONS IN YOUR KITCHEN WITH CRISPR" poo poo

finally unsubbed from whatever bill corbett's podcast was called because besides being one of those comedians who isnt very funny outside of their work, they just did a whole episode on the primary candidates while knowing nothing about them and repeating a bunch of half-true media hearsay. i can hear that poo poo from strangers riding on the subway

was good when he just did long form interviews with friends from the industry, but seems to have run out of those

That's a pretty good recommendation for Aufhebungabunga, any podcast that will invite Bastani to talk about FALC is worth a listen

Listening to my first episode of Novara and it's bloody brilliant.

Chapo was my first political podcast and the thing I dislike, and dislike about American journalism in general, is the lack of combatitiveness between the hosts and guests. I'm not talking about Bill O'Reilly/Ben Shapiro pwnage culture, I mean that idea that the host has to challenge their guests and their views a little bit by inventing positions that might represent diametric oppositions to theirs. Chapo feels a little bit too echo-chambery while still being much funnier.

Yeah. if you're going to educate/convert a whole generation with leftism, they need to be able to defend basic misconceptions about socialism.

I might be wrong but I feel like chapo and maybe other leftist podcasts aren't having these styles of discussions:

I finished up Revolutions podcast's run on the Mexican revolution a few days ago and now I'm really sad that I can't rail 20 hours of Russia straight into my veins. I'm trying to put it off for a little but there's no way I can wait for what may well be a year before diving in

to fill the space I did do some Citations Neededses and that Florida Man episode raises good points but also I've lived in Florida for 10 years now and this place does have a...feel to it. it's probably some cognitive dissonance bullshit but still

having lived in florida for almost my entire life, i can tell you that "feel" is a low grade insanity that creeps up from the swamps like a curse to punish us for our hubris. the only defense is the ocean, and given that it's been entirely taken up by the rich, most of the state just stews in it until they lose their loving minds

this goes double for incestuous hubs of rich people like boca raton, where a kid i went to class with in high school got stabbed to death over $300 in coke outside a hookah bar

it's annoying because the ways RED cheated and the ways RED "cheated" are difficult to disentangle

on the one hand, loading up speedboats with missiles bigger than speedboats is just some absolute script kiddy trying to break the game horseshit

on the other hand, "wait if I know the opposing force has compromised electronic communications, what if I don't use electronic communications for important poo poo" is exactly the kind of strategic decision we've been screaming NO FAIR at our opponents for using since Vietnam

on the same line it is probably worth editing out the Rein Over Me episode if you're trying to avoid awkward questions

it's a genuinely fascinating deep-dive onto no seriously what the gently caress was wrong with America post 9/11, but the Discourse related to it was extensive enough to get them to stop using the word retarded entirely.

There are so many reasons that Iran could beat us, you don't need to bring up the Millennium Challenge at all. They didn't mention the fact that Iran is like the size of all of Western Europe, and is all mountains, swamps, or dense urban areas. The three absolute worst kinds of terrain for an invading force

it's revealing of the underlying flaw, though. Riper or Ripper or whatever did what he did not as a demonstration that the US could be beaten by Iran, but as a way of saying "this entire simulation is loving stupid." everything is contingent on RED's commander behaving exactly on-script. if he messes with what the simulation was designed to do, even slightly, the whole thing breaks down. and he was not interested in only slightly breaking it.

The most important part of an invasion of Iran is the fact that it has 81 million citizens, compare to 24 mil in Iraq pre-2003 invasion, and that they are singularly unified in their very justified hatred of the United States and total opposition to any US intervention/invasion of their country.
Their comments on how Iran has had 2 decades to "beta test" against US forces for an insurgency is accurate, the Shia militias that regularly frag US MRAPs/Gun trucks with EFPs are easy mode compared to the insurgency we'd see in a country like Iran.

Radio War Nerd had a good episode about a war with Iran that they made free recently. They do cite the millennium challenge uncritically but it's not the center of the episode. Dolan quotes some US think tank analysis of our navy's vulnerability to missile swarms. The solution is to develop lasers guns apparently.

he got accused of sexual assault, denied it, said he was gonna sue a bunch of people for defamation, then quit the DSA, who he was a member of the national leadership for, this was all over a year after his Chapo appearence, so there's no reason to think they had any idea, but still not great if you're trying to win over moderates or fence sitters

Yeah, even the least charitable interpretation of the millennium challenge exercises leaves you with the result that the USA spent hundreds of millions of dollars on war games against a hypothetical Iran and learned absolutely nothing of value. Which also does not bode well for the US's chances against Iran.
