Good money after bad
Since we have already sent billions of dollars to Ukraine and they are LOSING terribly (granting them the benefit of the HUGE doubt that most/some of the money actually went to the military effort) --isn't sending more money expecting them to win an example of insanity? (Same action expecting different outcome.)
Hi Mike, let me start by saying you are the pinnacle of foreign affairs updates. They are short, concise information packed briefs. The other day you seemed to be in defense of the government wielding FISA authority for intelligence gathering. From my Laymans perspective, it has been repeatedly used as a deep state tool to spy on American citizens. Could you expound on how checks and balances could neuter the deep state from abusing the program? I feel it appropriate to say I am cynical of government in every aspect and would advocate for across-the-board defunding of many three letter agencies. Mike from Pennsylvania
Don't You Agree
Hey there, Mike. Greetings from all the loyal listeners up here in Dark Lake, Nova Scotia! It's an honor to be able to AYA, eh? Our query today comes from our boy Declan who's 9 yrs old and he asks: If you had only one chance to advise the President on what he should do after he looses the election...what would it be and how would you say it?
India, the next China?
Hey Mike, Chcuk from Lower Gwynedd again, and yes your crack research team correctly pinpointed me between Philadelphia and Allentown. Not that we don't have enough dumpsters on fire currently; Israel / Hamas, Russia / Ukraine, and NK looking at biological weapons, not to mention our favorite competitor China, how much concern should we place on India? They buy oil and arms from Russia, are involved in BRIC's and we have pharmaceuticals and tech outsourced to them out the wazoo to mention a few things. Can they be a trusted ally or are they just a mongoose waiitng to strick?
