In this episode we look at further developments regarding the Russian withdrawal from Kherson. Is there a deal with the US? Or is it actually the case that this war will grind onwards as the US itself is not capable of agreeing on a way forward within the Biden administration?

We also look at the latest fall out from the midterms and ask would a Theodore Roosevelt type figure be able to emerge with the state of US capitalism today?

In the concluding part I take a question form a listener regarding why western militaries have shrunk as they have since the 1990s.
