I sat down with Joanne Leon of the Around the Empire Podcast earlier in the week and we had a great talk about what is happening within the White House and how to interpret current events in places like North Korea and Syria.

The main topic of discussion was how the changes in Trump’s cabinet will effect, positively or negatively, Trump’s upcoming talks with Kim Jong-Un and whether all of this chest-thumping is a prelude to war or a huge game of brinksmanship.

What was valuable for both of us was having a constructive discussion from someone on the proverbial ‘other side of the political spectrum.’ And this is something that has to occur much more often if we’re ever going to extricate ourselves from the bloody mess we’re headed for.
