I enjoyed the show for a bit and I was generally tolerant about the host's dislike of the USSR because they were still somewhat left adjacent. But now that Liam is pretty much the defacto co-host every episode that includes Russia amplifies the shit-take-meter. I get that Joe is Armenian so he's probably got some legitimate grievances with the USSR but motherfucker calls himself a socialist and calls out US propaganda all the time but can't even take the time to do some self-crit of his sources?

    I don't really listen to the episodes on "modern" conflicts, which is anything after the 1st world war. His episodes on Baron Ungern von Sternberg were pretty good, and I remember being mildly impressed by the Nanjing episodes, though I only ever listened to two of them, so maybe the third was a stinker.
