    134: How Republicans Learned to Love Russia Sep 28, 2026
    Show notes

    How did the party of Reagan come to be so favorable to Russia? The easy answer comes down to just Trump, but it is rooted in a much older tradition that was counting down the years until the end of Cold War consensus to assert itself. It is a story of anti-liberalism, anti-modernity, and, often, antisemitism.

    132: The War of Economic Resilience Aug 15, 2026

    130: Ukraine and Poland Conflict over History Jul 08, 2026
    Show notes

    Ukrainian-Polish relations are in crisis following a high-level falling out over the question of historical memory of World War II and the extreme ethnic violence of the time. This began as a question of President Zelensky being stripped of Polish honors. But, it has uncovered a slate of grievances, frustrations, and power dynamics that will have to be addressed.
