With so much happening in the world, Misha and Hagar caught up for their regular chinwag that went waaaaay longer than it was supposed to (as it always does — but we love having Hagar on!)

In this episode we talk:

• Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Putin's domestic troubles and starvation diplomacy.
• To rapprochement or not to rapprochement; China, US and the perils of talking.
• Israel and the Supreme Court; what happens next if Israel becomes an illiberal democracy?
• Sogavare, Xi and the Solomons.
• Barbie diplomacy and Brand X.
• And more!
