In this episode of the Warships Pod guests David Murrin and Dr David Blagden, with help from host Iain Ballantyne, discuss a worldwide struggle in a multi-polar era that is rapidly turning kinetic - from Ukraine, to the Red Sea and Gaza. It may soon burn even hotter should China invade Taiwan and/or the USA attack Iran. A number of topics are discussed during this episode, including the following: *Does the European Union (EU) have a place in such a world, at the top table? Or is it going to be sweeping up the crumbs along with the UK, the latter finding itself a bridge to neither the USA or the EU? *Bearing in mind the UK is a maritime nation, is committing what remains of the British armed forces to policing a frozen war in Ukraine unwise? Do we risk a situation where things get bogged down in that theatre while the Russians run amok at sea, with the UK defenceless? *With concerted attacks by US Navy carrier jets and cruise missile attacks by other USN units against the Houthis in Yemen is it at odds with the Trump administration's supposed urgent priority of facing down China and its huge navy? Every missile expended against the Houthis is surely one less for use against the Chinese? *Narrowing the discussion down to the UK, with the Labour government announcing plans to cut welfare to pay for Defence boosts, how do the two Davids think the Royal Navy should mould itself? Finally - and this is a big one for the episode's final point of discussion - are we heading inexorably towards what the tabloids might call WW3? Or can it be avoided?

Francis is joined by Joe Kassabian of the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast discusses the current state of the Armenian/Azeri war. He gives a brief history of the conflict surrounding the Nagorno-Karabakh area, which has been threatened by Azerbaijan for decades. We discuss where the region is now, what may be coming in the near future, and interventions which should, but are not, being taken to prevent a genocide.   We now have a storefront to sell the patches, buttons, and magnets that we also give out as flair for our $10 tier.

This week we are joined by Thomas O'Mahony aka “Irish Thom” from the Nate Bethea extended universe. In addition to producing Lions Led by Donkeys, and guesting here and there on What a Hell of a Way to Die and other podcasts, Thom co-hosts one of our fave pods, Beneath the Skin, a podcast about “the history of everything told through the history of tattooing”. We get into it about how he got into podding and the specific podcasts and people he works with, before going more in depth on Beneath the Skin specifically and then tattoos more broadly. 

We've decided to answer your questions. We chose from a list and assembled the cast of Joe, Nate, and Tom to do our best to give honest feedback... or something like it. Get the whole episode on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lions-led-by-q-1-87857214

This week, we are joined by co-host/producer of the ~other~ TF (Trashfuture), Nate Bethea. Nate is also a co-host and/or producer on What a Hell of a Way to Die, Lions Led by Donkeys, and Kill James Bond, all podcasts in our regular rotation. Given his vast repertoire of podcasts, we spent a good amount of time getting into the weeds of it all, from doing research/showrunning on a pod, to the editing process (he is a producer, after all), to growing their following; whether its viral video content or utilizing existing networks or doing live shows. We also talk about his pathway to podcasting, from his (regrettable) article talking about his connection to Bowe Bergdahl and co-hosting a companion podcast to the Serial Season 2 about the case, to the present day, now having co-hosted a podcast about why not to join the military for 7 years. We finally get a little bit into his own preferred podcasts, from Boonta Vista, to a specific episode of The Nod, to NYT/Serial's The Trojan Horse Affair, and touch on his decision to leave America and his experience/opinion on the politics of the two countries since. In practice of our new “segments” format, we put (most of) the Boyz only talk at the end so you don't have to skip thru it, but at that point we have a nice little discussion about sports, including the NBA offseason deals and Alex dropping a foul ball at the Mets game.

This week, we talk about Diane Feinstein's return to the Senate and whether or not CTH's praise for her was right before getting into the mud on twitter, where Alex has been going at it with conservative mouth breathers, only to have nick join him positing a legitimate question about the morality of fake leather. After that, we get into the last episode of Succession and the end of the Lions Led by Donkeys series on the Taiping Rebellion.

This week, Nate speaks with co-producer Thomas O'Mahony (or Irish Tom for short) about his recent series on the Troubles. What is it about Ireland and Irish identity that compels people with any link to the country to invent their own version of it? Why does England have no memory whatsoever of a war it waged in Ireland, and experienced in its own territory? Why can't Nate pronounce Tom's last name? All this, and more.   Check out the Troubles series on Lions Led by Donkeys here: https://soundcloud.com/user-798629330   Check out Tom's podcast ‘Beneath the Skin' here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/beneath-the-skin/id1637122752   *SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT* We now have a storefront to sell the patches, buttons, and magnets that we also give out as flair for our $10 tier.

“My centre is giving way, my right is retreating, excellent situation, I am attacking.”– General Ferdinand Foch, 1914 In the episode, we take a look at the difference in offensives during the two world wars.  It is commonly asserted that the defensive was superior in WWI, and thus the generals who ordered the attacks are often portrayed as unthinking donkeys who ordered futile attacks.  Have memories of the horrors of Verdun and Passchendaele biased postwar judgements of the WWI generals?  Are there other reasons that might explain why the combat in WWII was so markedly different than in WWI?  

This week we talk about the insane drama surrounding Don't Worry, Darling, Jerry Seinfeld for Kith, and Kanye vs. Gap and Adidas. After getting past the insane amount of this week's pop culture news, Nick introduces the podcast "Lions Led by Donkeys", telling the story of the Wilkes Expedition, a doomed 19th century expedition including tales of an earth made of concentric spheres and openings at the poles. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today I'm joined by attorney, frequent podcast guest, and Boston expert Carey Shockey (@shocks) to talk about the first Scorsese movie I've gotten to on the show so far: THE DEPARTED. In this episode we talk about this movie having the perfect use of Mark Wahlberg, the heavy lifting DiCaprio does with his expressions, the weird belief that this movie only won Scorsese an Academy Award to make up for past snubs, the Dropkick Murphys, and Marty's ear for music in general.

After enlisting in the US Army at the age of 17 and serving several tours in Afghanistan, Joe Kassabian returned and published his novel “Hooligans of Kandahar.” Kassabian also hosts a popular military history podcast series called Lions Led by Donkeys. During a recent visit to Armenia, Kassabian spoke to EVN Report about the 2020 Artsakh War, the frustration of the biased coverage of the war, the absence of nuance, and how he plans on never shutting up about the cause of Armenia.

We brought on Joe Kassabian of the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast to discuss the Taliban victory in Afghanistan, and we try to push back against the politicians' line that the Afghan military didn't want to fight--and ask call for everyone who can assist Afghan refugees (even if all you can do is humiliate your elected officials) to do so. For this week's bonus, we're reviewing films that everyone our age loved and that we're sort of embarrassed to like. In this case, Francis had never seen V FOR VENDETTA, and Joe was a shameful teenage fan of the comic books. So, we got the Zoo Crew together to discuss.

We've been very happy that you, the fans, have enjoyed Britainology so much. In an attempt to bridge the gap between our two cultures, Nate has brought on two fellow Midwesterners (Francis Horton from Hell of a Way, a native of St. Louis, Missouri; Joe Kassabian from Lions Led by Donkeys, a native of Detroit, Michigan) to flip the script on Milo. Now it's the good-natured Midwestern oafs in the driver's seat, and we explain the name of the region itself, why ICP had such appeal to our generation, and why literally everyone has a driving-while-intoxicated story involving being thrown out of someone's house.

This week, we’re covering a particularly English psychosis: the upper class failson who decides to foment a coup in a central African country. Okay, maybe this type of failson is uniquely confined to the Thatcher family. That’s right, Maggie’s son Mark tried to take over Equatorial Guinea in 2004 with the help of a dead-eyed SAS madman and a South African mercenary named something like Jeep vander Honk. We brought on Joe Kassabian (@jkass99), host of the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast, to discuss this with Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum).    Part 2 of this is on Patreon, so if you want to hear it, you can sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/40320474   Here's a central location to donate to bail funds across the US to help people held under America's utterly inhumane system: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/the-bail-project   If you want one of our *fine* new shirts, designed by Matt Lubchansky, then e-mail trashfuturepodcast [at] gmail [dot] com. £15 for patrons, £20 for non-patrons, plus shipping.   *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind GYDS dot com).

This week, Nate and Francis discuss the amendment put forth by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to defund the military’s recruiting on Twitch and similar platforms. We talk about how recruiting worked when we were in school, how people get assigned to be recruiters, and why (once again) the correct position is Do Not Join.

The phrase ‘lions led by donkeys' was used to describe the British front line solders of WW1 – they were the brave lions who were sent to their deaths by incompetent and indifferent leaders. After years of austerity, raging inequality and now, a mismanaged pandemic, could the British electorate claim that they too are led by a political class of donkeys?

The phrase ‘lions led by donkeys’ was used to describe the British front line solders of WWI – they were the brave lions who were sent to their deaths by incompetent and indifferent leaders. After years of austerity, raging inequality and now, a mismanaged pandemic, could the British electorate claim that they too are led by a political class of donkeys? Former MP Chris Williamson joins host Ross Ashcroft to pick this apart.

This week, Nate speaks with journalist Vincent Bevins (@vinncent) on the topic of his new book, ‘The Jakarta Method: Washington’s Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program That Shaped Our World.’ The book covers clandestine Cold War operations in countries like Indonesia, Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, and elsewhere in the world in which the US aligned itself with forces of reaction to exterminate leftist political organizations. It’s a phenomenal work and we recommend you get it.   The book is available here: https://vincentbevins.com/book/   This week’s bonus features Francis, Joe Kassabian (@jkass99) of the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast, and friend of the show Carey Shockey (@shocks) in a discussion of the 2019 veteran-themed horror film VFW.

This podcast supports antifa -- end of discussion. “A bloo bloo bloo,” you might say in response, “My norm’s and notion’s of respectability!” We don’t care. People who put their bodies and livelihoods on the line to face down fascism are heroes and deserve our support. Francis and Nate discuss the recent protests in Portland, the truth to the refrain that cops and fascists work together, and a little digression about internet atheism’s total interchangeability with xenophobia. This is the link to the story about the New Hampshire MIA/POW display that features religious imagery: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/08/18/new-hampshire-veterans-group-seeks-intervene-pow-bible-display-lawsuit.html?fbclid=IwAR3venPBMsTSiFaucJ1ccqknuzHaB2ZOOB-LR13L5utwN5_V0kXGPU4jUHY A Portland antifa member got arrested by the famously not fascist-adjacent Portland PD.

Our friend Joe Kassabian (@jkass99), THE HOOLIGANS OF KANDAHAR and host of the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast, has a new book coming out called CITIZEN OF EARTH. You can buy it here, and you should: https://kyanitepublishing.com/product/citizen-of-earth/ In this episode, Joe and Francis discuss the new book, bad Army training, laser tanks, insane future weapons, and why the higher your rank the in the military, the less a grip on reality you have re: what soldiers can do.

We heard that some of you were watching movies at Christmas, and so we watched a war movie (with some strong Christmas movie overtones) — Sam Mendes’ 2005 film Jarhead. Is it fascist? Well, it’s definitely muscly and macho. But, as Nate, Francis, and Joe Kassabian (@jkass99) of the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast determine, there’s a lot more going on beneath the surface. Sort of. For our Patreon subscribers, this week’s bonus features Francis’ book review of Peter Van Buren’s ‘We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People.' Francis compares it to his own deployment experience and discusses the critical lack of follow-through that he observed on his own deployments.

On this episode of the Lions Led by Donkeys we talk about Sergeant Yakov Pavlov and his Soviet House of Death during the Battle of Stalingrad. Nick chugs Vodka to keep his horrible illness at bay long enough to record, we decide that the glorious Soviet Union would never lie in battle reports, and come to the conclusion that the Wermach was little more than Star Trek Red Shirts at this point of the war.
