In the first hour Bryan Macdonald joined the show to talk about the Russian Duma election. We also talked extensively about the abuse suffered by USA gymnasts at the hands of Larry Nassar, and the heart-wrenching testimony given by Simone Biles and Mckayla Maroney
In the second hour Fault Lines was joined by Carl Zha for a discussion on America’s deal with Australia for nuclear submarines, as well as what China could do regarding the Taliban’s control of Bagram airbase. We were then joined by Colleen Rowley for an analysis on how the FBI handled the abuse claims by US gymnasts against Larry Nassar. This was an abhorrent dereliction of duty.
