Dec 9, 2022
Emile, Helen, Micah, and Sohrab unpack the Brittney Griner
prisoner swap, discussing whether Viktor Bout poses a threat to the
US, how bad a deal it was for the Biden administration, and the
broader implications for the Russia / Ukraine conflict. There's
more news on that front this week, too, as Zelensky--recently
named Time's 'Person of the Year'--makes moves to
crack down on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Plus, the hosts debate
whether you should care about the World Cup.
Picks of the week:
Emile: The
European Union as Seen From Washington, Kevin Roberts
Micah: I'm
a Stranger Here Myself, Brian Kaller
Helen: The
Next Iran, Sohrab Ahmari
Sohrab: FDR
Won, Hunter DeRensis
