Topic: International Financial Tribunal

The hosts discuss how the CIA uses international newspapers like the Financial Times and the now-defunct International Herald Tribune to leak state department information. They share a "paywall buster" tip for accessing FT.com content. The segment concludes that the Russia-Ukraine tension will likely result in a Biden "victory lap" once a pre-arranged de-escalation occurs.

The discussion shifts to the European economic crisis, specifically the opening of a new International Financial Tribunal in The Hague by Dutch Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager. This court is intended to mediate disputes regarding complex financial products and derivatives. Meanwhile, in Athens, general strikes and protests continue as the Greek government considers further austerity measures to secure a 130 billion euro rescue package.
