From Euclid to the Founding Fathers

In this episode, we dive into something pretty unexpected—how an ancient Greek mathematician, Euclid, ended up inspiring America’s Founding Fathers. It’s all about how his way of thinking—starting with basic truths and building up logical arguments—became a kind of blueprint for how people like Jefferson and others thought about law, rights, and even the structure of the U.S. government. Turns out, geometry isn’t just for math class—it helped shape a whole country.

Soviet-Afghan War

In this episode, we dive into the Soviet-Afghan War (1979–1989), a brutal and complex conflict that became a Cold War battleground. We explore the causes of the Soviet invasion, the role of the mujahideen resistance fighters, U.S. and international involvement, and the long-lasting consequences for Afghanistan, the Soviet Union, and the world. A pivotal chapter in modern history, this war set the stage for decades of geopolitical tension and regional instability.
