This was an important conversation - really glad I got the chance to pick the brains of @jentaub.bsky.social about how involved in white collar crime Donald Trump and this administration really is – the answer is – a lot.

Spoiler alert, the picture is a bleak one. Nevertheless, great to pick the brain of @irgarner.bsky.social as we face another year of intense Russian aggression. Take a listen 👇
416,000 Russian casualties in a single year. The invasion of Ukraine grinds on. The losses mount. But is any of it enough to change Putin’s mind or is this war now unstoppable?

@chrisjonesprod.bsky.social sits down with @irgarner.bsky.social to find out.
