"Seditious" NatSec Democrats | MAGA’s A.I. Rupture | Venezuela Regime Change | Ukraine Peace Plan | Ep. 273
Just dropped a new episode of the pod with my co-hosts Matt Duss and Julia Gledhill, covering a range of national security and political issues from a critical perspective:
Why regime-change war with Venezuela is about drugs. And cartels. And immigration. And resource exploitation. And because it will be good for inflation. And because uranium to all of the world’s bad guys. What the fuck!? Things are shaping up like a choose-your-own adventure story that fails to learn from the Iraq War.
What is the Ukraine peace plan and why is it destined to fail in its current form?
The opportunity and threat of national-security democrats like Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, and what it says that Trump is accusing them of sedition.
Trump’s effort to bring back the action films from the ‘80s and ‘90s, including a remake of Rush Hour and Blood Sport.
And what Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation says about MAGA’s infighting about artificial intelligence.
Catch the episode wherever you get podcasts, or watch on YouTube.
