At a time when the unbreakable city of Kharkiv faces untold destruction and sustained bombardment by Russian forces it was a privilege to speak to Dr Jade McGlynn, a scholar of Ukraine and Russia, who is based there. We discussed the situation in Kharkiv and across the wider front and also the vital work she is involved with to raise funding for new technologies to support Ukraine's defence.

Where is the EU going and what does that mean for the UK?
As ever, British debates about the EU tend to be debates about Britain. We might hope to rejoin, or at least regain a better-functioning trading relationship with the organisation, but we don't do enough thinking about where the EU is headed in its own development. So I spoke to Europe expert Sydney Nash about this over two episodes. The first of these focuses on the EU's current situation.

Access to real experts!
Arthur Snell lets the experts shine and really get into the weeds on complex issues. Great resource for the systemic issues at play and the global repercussions of conflicts.
Geopolitical Analysis
Mr. Snell delves into a range of issues as the world’s nations begin choosing sides for the coming collision between the free nations of the world and the hegemony of organized crime style nation-states like Russia. Mr. Snell brings his considerable diplomatic, intelligence, and reporting skills to conversations with experts to tease out complex issues of no small importance.
Good on Ukraine too biased on Israel
Not bad on Ukraine, but immediately switched to Israel responsibility on the Gaza situation. Apparently different rules for Jews.
