About this episode
Former Diplomat and Owner of Conflicts Forum Alistair Crooke joins me again to discuss what's basically wrong with international relations at this point. From the maximization of psychopathology to the countervailing forces of populism Alistair and I try to make sense of what has become a mad, mad, mad world hurtling towards an unthinkable clash of nations in the nuclear age.
