Why does the US government always pick the worst possible people to support in any given conflict? How does The Blob work? Why do these Jeffersonian Democrats keep killing millions of people with American support? Who was Fidel Castro’s American executioner? Who was the translator for the US Vice President who visited the GULAG, and what did he do afterwards? Who built the OSS?
We discuss all of this and more with my guest, who tweets at Dictators Den. You should all follow him after listening to our conversation!
