oh yeah ofc. although they talked about him like it was only in the past that made me think someone else...Although he did have something of a public hiatus until this this war, surprised they didnt mention his name if its him..

quite a long time since i’ve heard the old “russians are going into battle without guns” trope, but lol the russian guy playing along and saying that yea of course, and the surviving dozen are elite killers and will win the war themselves

it’s a bit weird because the guy seems so knowledgeable about the economic stuff, but it just makes me second guess he does know what he’s talking about even though it’s all plausible and easily verifiable

Ben's good at looking at the numbers and his predictions seem solid, even if he betrays his convictions, like how he assumes Russia's economy would have collapsed had the EU ransomed the gas money in the beginning of the war, like that wouldn't have consequences either.

yeah picked up on the “far right and far left” equivalence, i guess he’s one of those journalists best left in front of spreadsheets and logistic flows and any question on geopolitics or human emotions gets you an answer worthy of garry kasparov

I read that as less "they're the same" and more "the delegitimization of the centre will cause the periphery of politics to gain power" though lol @ the left

the second john has a stable and uncomplicated life/internet connection is the second I unsubscribe.

just catching up, listened to the g word episode. "the great houthini made all the food disappear" was an amazing line.

what a great podcast, puts all others to shame imo.

Brianna Wu more or less blamed Yemenis for their own genocide. she should be hounded out of public and never show her face in person or online again.

I played it off the patreon app and it did fine.

anyway. Jon & mark desperately need an expert to come on and talk about Yemen. they’re way too focused on broad historical context, but Houthi Zaydi Shiism doesn’t say anything about Ansar Allah’s politics or the coalition they’re leading. Jon makes a point about all the socialists in South Yemen being killed, but the remnants of the Yemeni Socialist Party are supporting Ansar Allah. it’s yet another situation where the Zaydi hillmen have changed their allegiances to meet the current conditions.

It does seem like a lot of the things suggested by him for how Europe totally could have crippled Russia are a bit of wishful thinking.

For example saying that they should have just put all the gas payments in escrow to be released when the war finishes. I can only imagine Russia would just tell them to gently caress off and shut off the gas.

overcast does this thing where they auto detect and skip over pauses in dialogue.

I've played other podcasts on Patreon and not noticed it but John has a lot of awkward pauses. or at least I noticed it a lot with the latest episode

i honestly love the hotels for him, "oh time for my call with mark where we get to nerd out about the thing we love more than any other, and i'm gonna get room service, and maybe some new illness." it's like a little mini vacation every episode.
