Insightful and fun
Fun, timely and in-depth discussion and analysis. Thank you, Andrew!
Obvious support for china
The latest china episode showed extreme bias. Jane perlez needs to be investigated for ties to MSS. She provided the exact talking points that MSS IO’s give their sources. I advise listeners to please look at how her talking points put America in a bad sense while continually praising China. Do your homework and read about the influence operations that the CCP conducts through voices such as Jane.
No Longer What It Was
CSIS used to be an intellectual podcast with scholarly guests and top bar analysis. Now it’s just another talking head show with politically biased noise. If I want to see a TV news anchor complain about his rival, you don’t need CSIS.
