Danny and Derek not being able to help themselves saying "friend of the pod" every time an awful political figure gets mentioned followed by a baffled academic's awkward pause is getting funnier and funnier
An outline of the "real" US interests in the region beyond trade and unspecific economic benefits was not forthcoming. Seemed like that normally goes unquestioned, as a rule.

I really appreciated Danny's brutal realism compared to their unfounded rosy neoliberal junk. You probably scared them away 😆

Also kudos for forcing them to articulate what they mean when they say they 'support free trade'.
I love the quote from noted foreign policy expert/ bug that eats dust Adam Friedland
I love any analogy that associates the U.S. to pre-WW1 Tzarist Russia. Brava!
I mean, I think the U.S. is Russia and China is Germany in her analogy. It’s hard to tell.
I'm confused as to why they believe the US will suddenly be empathetic towards China? The US ruling class will never, ever do the right thing.
