A discussion with Neeraj Mishra, the host of the Sochkoudaan podcast, on the Monroe Doctrine through time and its continuation into the Donroe Doctrine. We discuss the removal of Nicolas Maduro and the Iran conflict in the context of the doctrine as well as the evolving role of the United States on the world stage.

This discussion was loosely based on his Substack post, The Monroe Doctrine Looks Different from 7,000 Miles Away.

Guest Neeraj Mishra:

I grew up in a small country squeezed between giants. Now I live inside the biggest one. I write about what that dual vision reveals about power, foreign policy, and the playbooks.

A discussion around Baudrillard's The Gulf War Did Not Take Place and its echoes in modern warfare and social media landscapes.

In this episode we discuss the basics of Catholicism and current issues within the Church. Tyler and Matt share their perspective on these topics with myself - asking questions from outside of the Church.

How can we understand Catholicism in the United States? Is it out of place? The structure and the hierarchy struggle to mesh with the American Spirit. Does America inherit the German and Anglican revolutions against the Church? Can Christianity not just survive but advance if the structural body of the Church (Catholic) is damaged or destroyed? As a network of believers in individual union with Christ?
