Russia loses 'vital' naval bases in Syria as Assad falls & Trump meets Zelensky at Paris's Notre-Dame

Day 1,020.

Today, following historic, impromptu meetings at the reopening of Notre-Dame in Paris - including between President Zelensky and President-elect Trump - we dig into the significance of Bashar al Assad's fall for Russia and Ukraine. And we interview author Jacob Heilbrunn about why some on the political right are sometimes attracted to the easy answers that dictators provide.
