Thanks Alastair and Rory, great podcast. Agree with everything Alastair said about JD Vance he’s a horrendous human being.
I felt sick watching the whole thing! God help us all. 😞
Bit of a sad post. I Just had a thought. I must confess I don’t enjoy it.. after yesterday’s weirdness in the Oval Office, like most of humanity, I wondered who benefited.. not Ukraine, not Europe, not US (not unless
MAGA)., not Russia (long Term). Who is left—- China.. which entity has the 100yr plan and capability and desire to manipulate the new tech to ensure destruction of the current world orde
