## Resource

This week we dig into Kharg Island– what it is and why it’s critical. We also respond to the rumors of boots (or in this case sandals) on the ground there. Does Trump have any idea what he’s doing? Don’t bet on it. We also ask WTF Kenyans are doing fighting for Russia, WTF the US is doing in Ecuador, and WhoTF JD thinks he’s fooling with his evasions. Lots of questions this week with not as many answers….but double the jokes. Not a bad bargain.
