US Soldiers Will Be Tested for Low Testosterone | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas
Summary

They discuss Ukraine’s internal unrest, including protests against Zelensky and press-gang tactics, while analyzing Russia’s cautious strategy. The hosts also examine declining global favorability for the U.S. compared to China’s steady economic diplomacy and debate the geopolitical implications of the South China Sea.
