Leading the world in “Derek” podcasts, it’s the great Derek Davison (and Danny) with the news. This week: Saudia Arabia hits a speed bump in attempts to normalize with Israel (0:31) while the Kingdom continues successful talks with Iran (2:47); details emerge from the US-Iran prisoner swap (4:22); the DPRK ramps up activity in its defense industry (7:10) while claiming the American soldier who recently defected was disillusioned (9:14); an update on the Sudan conflict (11:26); promising developments collapse over the weekend as Niger braces for ECOWAS intervention (13:08); the Russian ruble crashes (16:20); an update on the Ukraine counteroffensive (19:04); a strong showing by far-right candidate Javier Milei in the Argentinian presidential primary (23:03); and a New Cold War update featuring Biden hosting a summit with South Korea and Japan (27:55) and new polling on US animosity toward China (29:26).
Always useful and a good listen.

Depends on whether we’re smoking Indicas or Sativas.
Also, imagine how bad of a time you’d have to be having in the army to look across the DMZ and say “fuck it, why not?”.
