This week, Ron Steslow and Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) discuss information warfare and the biased reporting about Israel ahead of their ground offensive in Gaza City.

Then, the backlash against parties in power in Europe and why Americans need to care about it.

In Politicology+ they discuss China’s military parade, the meetings between the leaders of China, Russia, and India and why it matters so much right now.
