After plotting world domination at AEI’s World Forum, Jonah is back in the D.C. swampland for today’s Ruminant. He begins by elaborating on the strange metaphysical ideas discussed in last week’s episode before turning to the war in Ukraine, and the baffling idea peddled by some on the right that Zelensky is trying to incite a global thermonuclear war. From there, things get nerdy, as Jonah explores whether populism may be falling out of style and indulges in a lengthy rant on Woodrow Wilson. Tune in for the cherished sound effects, but stick around to hear a few ideas for the Remnant’s 500th episode.Show Notes: - Last weekend’s bizarre Ruminant- Metaxy- The Wednesday G-File- The Remnant with Shadi Hamid- Ross Douthat: “Will the Ukraine War End the Age of Populism?”- Michael Brendan Dougherty: “Wartime’s Macabre Predictions of a Populist Defeat”- The Remnant with Vin Cannato- The hater’s guide to Woodrow Wilson
