This week Seena and Travis dig into the MOU, a seemingly last ditch escape hatch for the US coupled with a windfall for Iran. They discuss the particulars of what exactly Iran stands to gain and how Israel is doing its best to literally blow it up by continuing to flatten parts of Lebanon. They also check in on the latest in UK politics, how Trump made a jackass of himself at the G7, and the status of China’s race to a semi-conductor. Also, JD has a new book to shill so that’s good for a few laughs.
