Ain't It Hard Keeping It So Hardcore

This week Dr. Tanvi Madan joins the ladies to explain the brewing crisis between India and Pakistan in Kashmir. Then Radha breaks down last week’s trade negotiations with China (what really is an MOU anyway and what happened to our leverage?). We revisit Venezuela as the Vice President prepares for a trip to the region and then discuss the humanitarian and policy implications of the “ISIS wives.” White House Mayhem lives up to its name with uncoordinated Syria policies, rogue nuclear reactor deals, and sad faces in Munich. We’re all enjoying the many escapes offered by Pop Culture.   Links   Kashmir Emily Lalwani and Emily Tallo, "," War on the Rocks Sumit Ganguly, "," Foreign Policy It's Aghast Bob Davis, "," Wall Street Journal "," CNBC KUFR Venezuela  Dennis Romero, "," NBC News ISIS women Meghna Chakrabarti, "," WBUR "," Washington Post Vira Mironova " New York Times Jayne Huckerby, "," New York Times White House Mayhem Syria "," NPR Saudi Nuclear tech "," Oversight Alex Ward, "," Vox "," Washington Post Munich Thomas Wright, "," Atlantic Daniel Estrin, "," NPR
