Riffing off of my blog post from earlier today, I go over why Italy’s new coalition agreement gives German Chancellor Angela Merkel the opportunity to break with the U.S. on Foreign Policy while saving face with her ever–growing domestic opposition.

Also, why the Trump administration is moving down a very dangerous path with its over-the-top rhetoric on North Korean peace talks.  I answer questions from the peanut gallery and even talk about local hay prices.

All that and more in an hour and four.
