War in Ukraine - what happens next?
02/25/2022
Hey Zanny, A large part of your discussion pivoted around what Biden should do and the fear of a return of Trump. So…what about Boris Johnson? His clownish behavior and unserious working style does not exactly give one great confidence in the UK’s. Remember how Thatcher had to “stiffen the spine” of George HW Bush before the first Gulf war? What would Johnson do??
Just turned mean

Anne McElvoy is an interesting interviewer, Jon Fasman is just a political talking head. Anne asks questions, sometimes too harshly, probing the topic. Jon just leads a dim one sided stream of words boarding on a rant. Keep Anne, dump Jon.
Bias and Smug

Terrible show. The host Ann McElvoy is so Smug and have very biased view on issues. Contributing correspondents are not better either. Truly a terrible show. I expect better from the Economist. In contrast. Check and Balance is much much better.
