Nobody tried to kill Putin
A drone attack hits the Kremlin building. Once again, the world is left wondering "who dunnit?". Was it a false flag attack by a Russian leadership determined to drive a wedge between Ukraine and its allies? Or an attack by Kyiv, or even the United States - or a Russian partisan group? Let's look at the theories that are flying around - and at least discount the one that seems on its face to be a non-starter.Support this channel!https://patreon.com/mallenbakerThe Mallen Baker Show covers news, current affairs, science and...

The REAL reason Xi Jinping called Zelensky
He's spoken to Vladimir Putin five times since the war started - but this was the first time he picked up the phone to Ukraine's Volodymir Zelensky. What does the call say about China's intended role in the Ukraine war - why might it signal hope for an end to the conflict - or, depending on your perspective - provoke fear in how China might use that end to its own advantage?Support this channel!https://patreon.com/mallenbakerThe Mallen Baker Show covers news, current affairs, science and politics.

Last week, the former UK Labour prime minister Tony Blair, and the former would-be Conservative prime minister William Hague produced a joint report calling for a British technology revolution.
