Dear Subscriber, Thank you for joining us again on our normal Sunday email. This week we are baking with the podcast and with what a guest! My good friend John Lechner joined to talk about his amazing book that I recommend here before: "Death Is Our Business: Russian Mercenaries and the New Era of Private Warfare". Further, we continue our coverage of Intelligence and National Security leaders. While these report have caused some angry comments on social media. I would like to stress that we focus as analysts to cover these people as unbiased as possible. Although, some believe the merely covering of new US intel leaders is in itself biased. I of course could not disagree more. There many more awesome topics we covered this so please enjoy! Kindest Regards Ahmed CEO Grey Dynamics
