Welcome to this week’s episode of The Banter Roundtable Podcast where Ben, Bob and Justin discuss the major news topics of the week!:
The latest news from Ukraine makes it seem like Russia is on the verge of a severe military defeat. We discuss Francis Fukayama’s provocative article where he claims Russia is ready to implode at any moment. How does Putin get out of this? What happens if NATO gets involved? Also, Ben discusses his hilarious spat with Glenn Greenwald and the gang put forward their “Both Sides” picks for the week. Which Republican said the craziest/dumbest thing? It’s a tough one, but Marjorie Taylor Greene might well win the prize this time.

For Banter Members: Bob’s Epic Takedown Of Glenn Greenwald
In honor of Ben’s Glenn Greenwald Twitter beef, we talk to Bob about his phenomenal investigative work into Greenwald’s NSA claims back in 2013/14. Bob thoroughly dismantled many of Greenwald’s major claims during the NSA scandal, putting him at odds with much of the media at the time. We took a huge risk at The Banter publishing Bob’s criticism, almost all of which turned out to be true. The lesson? Don’t trust anything Greenwald says. Ever.
