Welcome back everyone, this week I sit down with Meridian News (@meridiannews). Meridian is a project dedicated to sharing and aggregating open source intelligence, stories from individuals experiencing history, and amplifying underreported global news. As an avid reader on both ends, we discuss multiple books that we have read and recommend, as well as several geo-political topics such as:
- China's indirect colonization of Africa and Asia
- How armchair news agencies stay relevant in a increasingly censored world
- A peek into the Russo-Ukraine conflict through both Aiden Aslin (Ukrainian Marine, @Cossackgundi) and Anatoly Dryomov (Russian Solider, @Drema_Di)
