In this timely and eye-opening episode, American journalist Diana Johnstone joins us to unpack recent restrictions on free speech in Germany and France. She connects these developments to broader global dynamics, including Israel, Ukraine, NATO, and the shifting role of the U.S. in Europe and the Middle East.
Diana also reflects on the transformation of the European political left over the past 25 years, offering context that is rarely heard in mainstream discussions. Mike and I press into what’s most ominous on the horizon for European and U.S. politics, and Diana’s insights are—as always—deeply informed and refreshingly candid.
Whether you’re familiar with Diana Johnstone’s work or encountering her voice for the first time, this is a must-listen conversation.
