The US should have handed Indiana over to the Hapsburgs princes when they showed up. Would have spiced it up a bit.

Agree he had some weird takes (he said 'the US started the war' a few too many times) but I like the finance reporter version of war nerd.

As a follower of number I really enjoyed this episode because "the west" really did fire off the sanctions gun with no thought behind the consequences this time around.

It was a really good episode. I am not too concerned about their predictions being wrong. The guest Ben was able to explain a lot of the sanctions stuff and the effects they may have in a way that was easy for me to understand (I'm not that smart).

My one complaint about the new episode is how they keep bringing up the "rules based order" like it's a real thing, and not something that only applies to Europe.

I dunno, I figured Mark or John would've brought up Iraq or Libya, but I guess that's beyond the scope of the episode.

If what Ben says about Russia's long term prospects are accurate, I don't see how this war was anything other than the west removing Russia as a rival so they can focus on China full time. Putin is a dupe. Shame about all the dead Ukrainians and resurgent nazis

Shame about all the dead Ukrainians and resurgent nazis A Russia that's becoming more reliant on Asian markets for trade and manufactured goods means there could never be a focus on China because it's one gigantic anti-western bloc now. It's a focus on Eurasia is what I'm saying.
