This week’s show starts off by addressing the Washington Examiner’s calls for Ukraine to bomb the newly opened Crimean Bridge.

After that, our next topic is the differing US and Russian threat assessments of Daesh in Central Asia.

And finally, our top story of the week is that Rosneft is drilling for oil off the South China Sea coast of Vietnam in an area claimed by China.
