Global Outlook

World news is kicking off lately . we talkin israel, ukraine, africa, haiti, canada 

here's a global outlook update for August 2023. Rob is happy that Putin is too chicken to leave Russia for the BRICS summit in Johannesburg. Paul is worried about the Sahel.  

Back with updates on Russia, election news, and the Oppenheimer movie.

New Series! Examining the history of the CIA and natsec agencies through their secret missions. This is "Classified." Today we look at a secret operation in the Artic Circle. https://youtu.be/nJDHF-xPcT4

Paul opens the episode with his take on a twitter controversy around J.K. Rowling. Rob is back from vacation and (22:00) dives into the recent German elections and the new 3 party coalition government.  Here are the links that Paul mentioned. https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ https://www.masstpc.org/ https://transequality.org/covid19/mutual-aid-and-emergency-funds

The dynamic duo is back to discuss the Lauren Boebert and Ilhan Omar drama. They also review an NYT article about why liberals are less happy and how they can be happier by going to church. The piece emits some serious retvrn guy vibes.  

The boys  debate the feasibility and morality  of Operation Unthinkable.  Reactionaries in the Allied nations  like Allen Dulles had  toyed with the idea of turning against the Soviets during the war, but toward the end of WWII Churchill asked his generals to draft a secret plan to attack the Red Army in July 1945.   

Francis Fukuyama's End of History thesis has impacted ideologies of the world for the last 32 years.  This thesis signifies a divide between Rob and Paul's worldviews. Will the duo be able to find a solution to the problems faced by the liberal world order? No, but they argue for a bit. let us know what you think by tweeting us @GlobalOutlookpd
