This is OT, not related to this case, but related to getting u out of hellholes.
The Duran. They are often critical of the US and the EU in foreign policy. Best foreign news analysis I have found for their regions. Refreshing. Very educated (historically) guys. Biased toward the idea that countries act in their own interests and often should.
OK, this is VERY long. I had it on today, live chat episode 17. It is very high quality IMO. There are 4 guys, all Anglos/US(?), two located in Russia, one in Britain, and one in Cyprus I think. I think this comes in an audio podcast version.
Mostly international affairs, from Britain to Europe to the Balkans to the Middle East to Russia. Very different from what you hear in the US, often critical of the US foreign policy, if the US even has one.
Around 1:05:00 they talk abour Kosovo and Serbia.
About 1:15:00 to 1:26:00 Syria is discussed in detail. A 'three way Mexican standoff.' Worth listening.
1:40:00 trade with Russia history after USSR, how it almost ruined the country. Good.
1:46:00 They club Trudeau like a baby seal for kidnapping the Chinese business woman. Brutal.
