It feels weird knowing what happens while listening to fears of the future. It feels like rereading a book and seeing the foreshadowing I missed the first go around... 😢

You have got to make a new episode dedicated to Turkey and Erdoğan, just like the one you did for Berdimohammedov of Turkmenistan. Turkey has been on a freefall ever since 2016, a good cautionary tale of a once a “democracy with problems” is now a full fledged totalitarian regime.

"comparing him to a medieval cult of assassins" likely means they are comparing him to the literal first Order of Assassins, from which the word gets its name. They were an Ismaili esoteric Islamic group who fought against Turkish rule, and Gulen is an esoteric Islamic preacher who similarly (according to Erdogan) fights against Turkish rule

This episode should be mandatory viewing before this year's election. Yes, it's eight years old, but it is 100% relevant to what's happening now. Failure to learn from history means we're doomed to repeat it. This is terrifying.

Not just in the world, also in my personal life. Crazy how impactful certain aspects of the world can be. Hope you Americans don't vote for the orange horror again this year... would be great if things could slowly start getting better again.

Wow, Biden has aged a lot in 8 years. I mean yeah, obviously. But 72 year-old Biden was still pretty fiery and vital, especially for someone who was 72. 80 year-old Biden is still quite impressive for someone who is 80. But “some who is 80” is doing a lot of work in that sentence. He’s still been an impressively successful president who has accomplished a lot under extremely challenging circumstances. But he should have stuck to his promise of being a caretaker for one term.

70 should be the cut off point for entering top level politics

@ChrisFarrell 15 күн бұрын

@@martinjrgensen8234 I dunno, if we made rate cutoff 70 we would have lost Nancy Pelosi 14 years ago and there is no question she was highly effective well into her 70s and that Democrats would have lost an important and valuable fighter for their cause. Biden was quite effective in his first term. And anyway, term or age limits are clearly unconstitutional for elected federal representatives. Age isn’t really the problem. Age and narcissism are the problem, along with an unwillingness to use social sanction against older people who are occupying important positions and need to step aside to let younger people take over.
