Tommy and Ben discuss the fallout from Trump’s national security team accidentally sending top secret war plans to a journalist, Turkey’s backsliding democracy as a result of Erdoğan arresting his top political opponent, and Bibi Netanyahu’s continuing efforts to remove internal critics while Israel gears up for potential annexation of Gaza. They also discuss a violent settler attack on the Oscar winning co-director of No Other Land, Russia’s maximalist terms for the new maritime ceasefire with Ukraine, the conflicts in Sudan and Congo, and the Trump administration’s latest immigration moves, including revoking temporary protected status for over 500,000 people. Then, Tommy is joined by Jeremy Shapiro, Research Director at the European Council of Foreign Relations, for a tour of Europe, including Turkey’s political unrest, Romania’s fraught election, and the latest with Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán.
