We talk about the absurdities of proptech – or the real estate technology sector – which is jam packed with out-of-control purchasing by house-flipping algorithms powered by automated valuation models that lead to balance sheets filled with liabilities and it’s all fuelled by way too much free-flowing capital. In other words, a classic recipe for disaster.

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Gen. Robert S. Spalding III, a retired U.S. Air Force brigadier general and CEO of SEMPRE, joins Federalist Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss his book "War Without Rules: China's Playbook for Global Domination."
Between the 1990s and late 2000s, people in Chechnya described Russia's wars there as a nightmare. Its former leader, Akhmad Kadyrov, resisted Russian forces.
But today, the Muslim-majority Chechen Republic is ruled by Kadyrov's son, Ramzan. He's a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is accused of numerous human rights abuses and is also leading his own forces against Ukraine to aid the Kremlin.
Rachel Denber, Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch's Europe and Central Asia Division, explains Ramzan Kadyrov's stake in Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
NPR National Security Correspondent Greg Myre, who reported from Chechnya during the wars, also breaks down the republic's evolution over the last 25 years.
The propaganda machine in Russia has been working overtime to sell its war in Ukraine as just and necessary. Will Duffield analyzes why this effort has failed so remarkably while other efforts have succeeded.
