We’re joined by the Chapo Foreign Affairs desk of Derek Davison and Daniel Bessner to discuss what might change and what might continue in a foreign policy transition from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. Then, we get beamed aboard the MOTHERSHIP as we take a look at Daniel and Amber’s recent Jacobin article on Democrats’ material incentives to lose.

    Can't wait to finish listening to Trash Future featuring Derek Davidson so I can start listening to Chapo Trap House featuring Derek Davidson

    Edit: pretty sure he's mispronouncing Qatar but I haven't studied Arabic in a long time and my teacher was from Morocco

      According to Wikipedia, the standard pronunciation is [ˈqatˤar] and the local one is [ˈɡɪtˤɑr].

        And the BBC pronunciation is "Cutter" for some damn reason

        Just like Iraq.

        I have heard Iraqis say "ih - rack"

        But bush says "eye rack" and the BBC is uh, they're fucking British, so of course they say "ih - ROCK"

        And so all the libs just assume the man from London must be saying it right. ih - ROCK

          Maybe they are saying it right and that's the English pronunciation
