    Access to real experts!
    Arthur Snell lets the experts shine and really get into the weeds on complex issues. Great resource for the systemic issues at play and the global repercussions of conflicts.

    Good on Ukraine too biased on Israel
    Not bad on Ukraine, but immediately switched to Israel responsibility on the Gaza situation. Apparently different rules for Jews.
