Brad Pearce joins me on IS Geopolitics. We discuss The United States Military being forced out of Niger and most of the Sahel and the crucial $100 million dollar military drone base being taken by Russian forces. This follows last year's American funded coup. 

This area of the world is key for American foreign policy and is one of many areas in the Sahel and broader Africa that has seen recent turmoil.

BONUS EPISODE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU GUYS. THANKS SO MUCH FOR LISTENING. 

We discuss the situation in Haiti and the current news. The Prime Minister Ariel Henry has resigned and leadership is up in the air as gangs and government troops face off. The presumed leader is a former National Police officer, named Barbecue. The situation has deteriorated into Civil War conditions, with civilian deaths and a lack of political organization. We discuss several of the leaders and who wants what, and the apparent coup that led to this specific unrest.

Why an Italian Zoomer Converted to Buddhism

This is the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast and this week I interview Theravada Buddhism practitioner, Angelo. Originating from Italy, Angelo narrates his transition from Catholicism to embracing Theravada Buddhism, discussing its practices, impact on morality, and viewpoints on gender roles, compared to Nichiren Buddhism and Westernized versions of the faith. The conversation extends to Angelo's critical view on abortion, political, and social concerns through a Buddhist lens. I address Buddhism's nuanced relationship with modern ideologies, debating its non-alignment with fixed political beliefs and detailing its influence on topics like immigration in Italy. It contrasts the allure of Buddhism in the West, its empirical approach through karma, and the vibrant Buddhist community across Italy, enriched by diverse practices and historical ties, including those to Julius Evola. The dialogue concludes by underscoring the importance of exploration and learning in understanding Buddhism's role in contemporary society and personal growth.
