Ep. 121: Diplomacy Debacle ft. Ryan Grim

Progressives called for more diplomacy on Monday. That was apparently unacceptable in Washington.

On this week’s episode, Ryan Grim of The Intercept joins us to discuss the since-withdrawn letter on diplomacy with Russia from the Congressional Progressive Caucus. We get into how it originated, the firestorm it caused, whether the outrage was reasonable and its ultimate retraction. We also discuss how eliminating any debate over how and when diplomacy should prioritized will ultimately lead to worse outcomes for Ukrainians.
