3.5 – NAT-UH-OH!

June 13, 2017 by Phil Leave a Comment

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was created to stand up against the USSR. It’s been around for nearly seventy years, but most US citizens don’t know that much about it.

Neither do Kevon and Phil, but they’re trying! Here’s a tiny bit on NATO and how the President’s views on this could be an issue for the Russia investigation. Also, you can consider this a prelude to an EU/Brexit episode.

If you have any questions, comments, or topic ideas, leave them on the episode page, send us a message on Twitter, or send us an e-mail.

Also, if you could review the podcast in your favorite podcast store, that would really help us!
