"The Best Questions, The Best Answers" This episode was recorded 7/30/2017.  Welcome to the McGrady Group. A hardline sanctions bill sailed through Congress — some say it’s a litmus test for President Trump. Why Republicans are for it and the president has been hedging for Russia. It looks like the love affair between Putin and President Trump has gone stale, but what is the game behind this game? How was America a sitting duck for Vladimir Putin’s Russian Hack of the US Presidential Election? What would be the cost of appeasement or rapprochement? Why Democrats may be in for a rough ride this next election cycle and what they can do about it. And how World War I is crucial to our country without a foreign policy, in a world without multilateral leadership. Joining us is Gennady Shkliarevsky, the author of Civilization at a crossroads: Constructing the Paradigm Shift.   The McGrady Group is Fred "Beltway" Baker, Scott "The Nuke" Licamele, and Jeffrey "The Integrator" Bolden, and hosted by Ian "The Producer" McGrady.
