Episode #229 -- Xoaquin Flores and a Trump and Putin Post-Mortem

Gold Goats 'n Guns Podcast

Show Notes

Geopolitical analyst and commentator Xoaquin Flores comes back to the podcast to discuss a number of topics in the wake of the Trump/Putin Summit in Alaska on August 15th. From Turkey's unfocused aggression to the repeated attempts to isolate Serbia, there are no shortage of responses from the "usual suspects" in City of London and Brussels. Xoaquin breaks these things down in granular detail for us which, to me, is required listening.
