A Red Carpet for Putin, Netanyahu Plays Coy, and JD Bakes

A Red Carpet for Putin, Netanyahu Plays Coy, and JD Bakes

Author: Last Podcast Network August 22, 2025 Duration: 45:34
This week Seena and Travis dig into Trump’s red carpet roll out for Putin and his subsequent shift away from a “mere ceasefire agreement,” leaving Russia free to launch their largest offensive of the war in the following days. They talk through what it means for Hamas to accept conditions for a ceasefire as Israel is poised to attack Gaza City and look into state-sponsored militias in eastern Congo killing civilians. Finally they explain why they’re bummed that JD likes to bake.

The Foreign Report from Last Podcast Network dives into the wildest corners of global politics with sharp analysis and pitch-black humor. Each week, producer, comedian, and lawyer Seena Ghaznavi teams up with a rotating crew of journalists, experts, and policy nerds to unpack the stories shaping our world, from power struggles and propaganda wars to strange moments of competitive authoritarianism and beyond.
