Description

This time Rob & Ruairi use Dmitry Medvedev's 2023 predictions to discuss and mock the hopes and bitter jokes of this highly placed Russian official. 
It's not entirely clear how much of the former Russian President's Elon Musk endorsed Twitter thread is meant to be serious, and how much is intended as dark self-deprecating humor. The first prediction, an Oil price of $150 a barrel was something his country was kind of relying on when it invaded Ukraine. It didn't happen. Medvedev's list, and Rob and Ruairi's discussion, get a lot weirder from there. 
This episode covers a wide range of topics. The UK's post Brexit path back to the EU, the successes and failures of the Euro currency, Poland And Hungary's different approaches to resisting Brussels, Medvedev's farcical concept of a German Fourth Reich, Northern Ireland, Oil, gas, the prospects of a new US civil war, and so much more.  
We hope you enjoy, and happy new year from The More Freedom Foundation!

The More Freedom Foundation is trying to save the world every week. We’re at an odd point in history. We could be on the cusp of a new Golden Age, or we could be marching down the path to World War III. Despite the picture presented by most of our media, the world really is in great shape. The world is governed by US power and a set of institutions that have largely succeeded in bringing about unparalleled peace and prosperity. The only country strong enough to tear down this Pax Americana is the US itself.
