I couldn't resist! I hope it was interesting.

For reference to other listeners, I was speaking about Saint Hermogenes (the New-Martyr, not the Patriarch of Moscow):

I admit that I haven’t gone back to listen to all of the episodes that aired before I became aware of WWN--but, since I’ve started listening you’ve had several guests on, of varying caliber (IMO)--having said that, I found Jim Jontras (whom I’d unfortunately never heard of before this) to be the best, most articulate, interesting, and intellectually-competitive (relative to the two of you) guest you’ve had on this far. I look forward to his return!

I completely agree Jacob. Jim is a wealth of knowledge, and even more importantly - experience.

In all fairness to Great Britain, they have fought about everyone

Just read a stack, “The Slavland Chronicles” where the author purports to present the views of one of the Ukr negotiators at Istanbul. That Putin was willing to concede on a number of issues that I thought were precious: denazification, demilitarization, Russian language, Russian church etc. I was jarred. Would love your take on this.
