Go on!

BAM!

Bravo!

Well, ladies and gentlemen.

Can I please have your attention?

Hello, Gagan.

Greetings, dear listeners. This is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remnant Podcast, brought to you by the Dispatch and Dispatch Media.

How do you see the big picture right now, vis-a-vis Ukraine, Russia, the changes in Europe?
