Episode notes

I think the moral reasons are very good to help Ukraine in staving off the Russian invasion. In Iraq, it was a much more complicated thing. It's not at all obvious that you would have been morally correct to give weapons and intel to Saddam Hussein after he had fallen. Having said that, I was not in favor of the invasion myself. iReporters: What do you think? Share your thoughts with CNN iReport.

Welcome to the June 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number -- based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good -- and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
