Amazing to listen to this in 2023, its like Hitchens is sitting right here reading the headlines with me and commenting on them. Shows how widely read the man was, good role model for all of us.

[@1984isnotamanual]

Dont use the phrase role model when talking about Hitch lol he hated that phrase

[@smadaf]

I miss the first forty years of NPR, when it was listenable.

[@darrenleelayton6052]

Just imagine being able to make a phone call to Hitch.❤ We miss you big man.

I would have loved to hear Hitchens turn his talents on the USA as he did on Russia, China, Jerry Falwell etc.

[@mervinprone]

I’m surprised he called it “The Ukraine” - as if it’s another province of The USSR.

[@swainscheps]

if he had only been given time to look back - in retrospect, with the perspective of 15-20 years… I wonder if he might have thought he had slightly overreacted to 9/11. Maybe militant islamofascism wasnt actually the existential threat to Western civilization he thought it was at the time. Or maybe he will yet be proven right… And I’m not sure he’s got this issue correct either, but so fascinating to hear him talk so presciently about Russia…as if it was 2021 rather than 2008. (11:40 “in what sense does the ‘independence’ of the Baltic States or Georgia constitute encirclement?” C’mon Hitch…imagine Honduras, Belize, and the Bahamas joined the Warsaw Pact. We would absolutely have lost our red white and blue sh*t over it.)
