605 - Foreign Policy: The Wire Edition feat. Derek Davison (2/24/22) (Patreon)

So, we recorded an in depth Ukraine update with Derek on Tuesday evening, and obviously now the update needs to be updated. So Derek leads us off with some context and what we know of the Russia/Ukraine situation as of the morning of Thursday, 2/24, then we go back and cover how we got up to here. Then finally, for even more context, we have a piece from noted Foreign Policy expert Terrell Jermaine Starr on how everything about Vladimir Putin can be made clear through a close reading of HBO’s The Wire.
