Lots of background noise and conversation - distracting.

Great content but... rough audio on the front half and the lip smacking was distracting.

From the title, one would get the impression that the subject concerned a history of naval operations in the Black Sea; alas and alack, one is presented with a stifling lecture on the faddish ethnic palaver that America's ruling class marinates in. I suppose a treatise concerning the salubrious nature of sodomy on the high seas is next in the series, with an encomium on the (hidden) contribution of lesbian-feminist Seabee's to victory in the Pacific War as a chaser. The American military has become quite the perverse joke to much of the world these days; pray that your "leadership" doesn't elect to get in a scuffle with a foreign opponent that, unlike the impoverished societies that you have been waging slaughter games over the past several decades, has the means to fight back. It won't end well for you.
