This week we're discussing the ongoing peace talks between the US and AfPak leaders. Last week, Taliban and Afghani government leaders met in Moscow. Will anything change? Tune in to hear why our voice in the region thinks the Taliban probably won't be able to return to business as usual. Then, is a rebranded version of socialism headed to the US? Last week saw the unveiling of AOC's Green New Deal which included provisions to cut back on greenhouse gas emitters including "farting cows". Because our politicians seem to be looking at Europe as the standard socialist model, we'll be speaking to Mark about the chances of socialism working in the US. And finally on Change Is Hard, we told you Bezos was being targeted because he's the big fish. We'll see if others in the media figured it out yet.
