War, Cost of Living, and Khamenei the 2nd | Northstar Politics Show #22

Описание: A whole lot to discuss this week. We give a run down of the past week's fallout from the war in Iran, we discuss the impact of the new Ayatollah appointment and how we can make sense of Trump's policy towards West Asia. The lads also look at some stories in The Back Roads, from Reform crypto schemes to rapping politicians in Nepal. We wrap up with Noah's plans to homeschool his children and Sean's thoughts on the old guard guarding infrastructure from real change. We hope you enjoy, we appreciate you all, have a lovely week !
