Today’s discussion:
* Vladislav Davidzon joins us to give us the expert view on Transnistria. The situation sounds more minatory than John and I initially thought: There may be a purpose to the provocation that goes beyond, “distracting NATO.”
* Welcome, Sweden!
* Boo, Germany! What’s wrong with you?
* The Sudan catastrophe is apocalyptic, no one has the bandwidth to deal with it, and now Russia, Iran, and Ukraine are involved, too.
* It’s Vlad’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Vlad!
