The Chaser Report Now Is The Time For Peace, Maybe
Jun 23, 2025
Dom and Charles tackle the absurdity of wartime reporting with humor, questioning everything from B-2 pilots’ restroom breaks to the geopolitical implications of modern warfare. They humorously reflect on the chaotic nature of military tactics and the effectiveness of various strategies. Anecdotes from personal experiences, like a bar fight in Japan, lighten the serious discussions surrounding international law and the complexities of U.S. foreign policy. It’s a blend of satire and insightful commentary on the state of global tensions.
