Join us as we welcome back our favorite globetrotter, Robert Greenfield! As he navigates his recent move from Australia to Europe, he brings a fresh perspective on life, culture, and the political landscape following the pandemic. We kick off with a unique blend of sports and travel, diving into the thrill of a Detroit Tigers game, the anticipation of Detroit Lions' playoffs, and the lifestyle transition from a tropical Australian climate to chilly Europe.
Brace yourselves as we venture into the heartland of global politics, with Robert's insightful commentary on the Ukraine War. From the European perspective to China's influence and Russia's strategy, we leave no stone unturned. Not just that, we scrutinize the role of US diplomats, the Western expenditure, and the potential repercussions of NATO's presence near the borders. As the conversation unfolds, you'll witness a comprehensive examination of the crisis that has gripped the world.
But we don't stop at world politics. Back home, we delve into the profound effects of Trump's presidency on the Republican Party and the changing face of American politics. We also explore the economic implications, NATO expansion, and the role of media in political divisions. As we wind up, we turn our gaze to California, discussing the challenges faced by cities like San Francisco and the potential role of immigration in rejuvenating the city. Tune in for this enlightening conversation that promises to educate, engage and entertain!
