Russian Plans to Absorb Belarus, China’s Appeasement Plan & Diplomatic Descent in South Africa

In this episode, Alex starts by discussing how Ron DeSantis, the small goverment conservative has finally punished Disney for being “too woke. He discusses how Florida is not only where woke goes to die, but also where government intervention in your life goes to thrive. Next, Alex does a deep dive into the War in Ukraine from a myriad of angles. He starts by going into Putin’s comments about the invasion being existential to the Russian people. Putin also has called out NATO, signalling that he sees this conflict as bigger than just Ukraine. Also, there are reports surfacing that describe how the Kremlin plans to “absorb” Belarus by 2030 into a larger Russian union. Alex thinks this is more of an annexation that simple absorption. Alex also notes that China has finally released its peace plan which is more of an appeasement plan that is lacking in details and seems to ignore Putin’s atrocities. Finally, Alex looks into how South Africa has started to neglect its approach to human rights, is buddying up with Russia and China, and is focused on nationalism over diplomacy.
