    How China Became Russia's Big Brother

    In this episode we’re speaking to journalist Lucrezia Goldin. She focuses on China. She’s lived there and speaks the language fluently. She’s talking to us about how China has taken advantage of Russia’s recklessness since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China is not quite the best friend of Russia that many warhawks make out. It's more complicated than that.

Fantastic

So happy I found popular front - I’m not treated like an idiot - not told what to think! I have learned so much from listening to Jake and his guests- a refreshing honest look at lesser known conflict

PKK vs KDP

I am baffled by the fact that the host doesn’t question the narrative offered by his gust. A simple things to ask would be, if Turkey is sussing in pushing the fight from Turkey into Iraqi Kurdistan, why is it that the PKK fall for it? Why dent the PKK turn the table and take the fight back to Turkey? No critical questions is asked by the host. Nowhere did I hear the host ask his gust on what prove he can offer for his vision of the story. It was all, we know KDP is laying, we know PKK is right. We Know??!! HOW do you know? You are making some substantial claims, you need to convince me with something Northman ‘we know’. Your gust is obviously partial. That KDP is a tribal and unintellectual is so stupid. It is funny that the Left only considers themselves intellectual. Plus, the claim that KDP is an ally of Turkey is far from impartial portrayal of reality! Why not ask him, about the PKK’s meddling in affairs of all parts of Kurdistan? Why don’t you ask him about PKK’s links with Iran and Iraqi Shia militia? In fact PKK is working for Turkey, giving them reason to invade KRG. So, please stop pretending to give an impartial account of the situation in KRG. For sake of balance, why don’t you invite another gust to give the view from the other side of the divide?
