Summary

Today’s episode is split in two - we start by looking at what German cowardice & its refusal to sanction Russian gas means for both the war and the western alliance. Then we talk Twitter with Mark Little who helps us breakdown the issues thrown up by Musk's bid to take over Twitter and what it tells us about the economics of the internet.
