In this post-show episode with Nikita and Mark, I reflect on my conversation with Yaya Fanusie. He’s an interesting dude. Because he was formerly employed at the CIA, he may not even be able to tell us just how interesting he really is. So the team and I talk about Yaya, the CIA’s sub rosa activities (both confirmed and unconfirmed), Trump’s possible reorganization of the intelligence agencies, and Biden’s authorization of Ukraine’s use of ATACMS strikes within Russian territory.
I want to use this space to offer an invitation. These post-show quasi-monologues allow me to reflect on the week’s episode. As I get more comfortable with the format, I’d also like to use it engage topics I don’t normally speak about in public. When I find myself drifting into territory where I’m less knowledgeable, I sometimes say, “I don’t know why you’d listen to me. I’m no expert.” But I realize there are topics that some of you, my highly valued subscribers, do want to hear me talk about, despite my lack of formal expertise. Maybe those are topics that don’t come up on the show very often. Maybe they’re more personal, or maybe they’re wonkier. Whatever they are, I invite you to comment below and let me know—I promise I’ll read all of them.
