Great interview, curious to read the book but lol even this guest had to constantly reaffirm his stance against hamas at every opportunity

yeah i enjoyed it but the ending ten minutes was a bit of a nose dive

USA loves fundamentalists inside and outside it’s borders, it feels comfortable with them and understands them and their motivations

surprised how good that episode was, i was really worried it’ll just be a depressing listicle of the horrors israel dish out on the reg, bur instead it’s insightful and concise

i wonder if israel will have a similar MIA/POW vietnam movement but instead of “bring them home” it’s “keep blasting i think they are still alive”

i like how anibale now sounds he’s talking into a pro mic set up rather than. a couple of tin cans on a string on the earlier eps

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
