  1. I enjoyed the levity and laughs in this interview, even in spite of some of the serious topics. Then again, it can be pretty easy to laugh at how crazy the world is right now.

    • Yea, I like that Canadian style humor.

  2. What an interesting response. For the record, I almost never receive questions in advance from any interviewer. RT was the only outlet that really did that. Before this interview, Jim asked if there was any story I wanted to discuss and I mentioned the Chinese shadow banking story. Other than that, all of the questions were out of left field for me. In fact, I said “Indo-Asian” instead of “Indo-Pacific” precisely because I was trying to remember the details of the story and place it into its greater geopolitical context on the fly. I’m glad that my extemporaneous exposition sounds pre-planned, though!
