Topic: Radek Sikorski

A producer from Poland, Kasha G, provides "boots on the ground" insight into Polish politics, identifying Radek Sikorski as a "spook" and noting his marriage to journalist Anne Applebaum. The discussion revisits the 2010 Smolensk plane crash that killed the Polish government, with the producer confirming the show's early analysis that survivors were executed by Russian forces at the crash site.

Radek Sikorski, a member of the European Parliament, criticized Hungary for using its veto power to extract concessions on Russian oil sanctions. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban defended the move as necessary to protect his citizens from rising energy costs. The hosts question the logic of sanctions that appear to harm the sanctioning nations more than Russia.
