Sam Stein and former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos give their takes on the flurry of international headlines over the weekend.

They also discuss the Trump administration’s response to the Saudi crisis, the U.S. role in Ukraine, Russia’s escalating attacks and sabotage efforts across Europe, and the prospect of a brutal winter for Ukraine.
