[The French] Revolutions, Repression & St. Patrick’s Day

03/19/25 • 39 min

This week, we dive into the shifting global power structures of 2025 and why does it feel like the world is on fire—again? From Serbia, Hungary, and Georgia pushing back against authoritarianism to U.S. crackdowns on free speech and human rights, we unpack the biggest global movements happening right now.
Plus, it’s St. Patrick’s Day, so naturally, we take a detour into Ireland’s long history of resistance and its unexpected parallels to Ukraine. And Yulia’s dogs are learning French... because, of course, they are.
In this episode:
👀 Why are more countries rejecting U.S. influence?
🔥 Are we witnessing a global uprising?
🇺🇸 Is America turning into the thing it once fought against?
Join us for a chaotic, funny, and brutally honest conversation about the world today.
