Episode 219: South Africa Gets in Warm Water

Today, Les, Jess, and Jamil discuss yesterday’s announcement from the US Ambassador to South Africa, Reuben Brigety, that the South African government had provided arms and ammunition to Russia in its over a year-long war against Ukraine.

Hear our experts debate these issues and more in less than 10 minutes on our latest episode of Fault Lines!
