Yes - exactly how I feel, these "guest" opinions for the most part are self-inflated and worthless. They also reveal at times the very right wing philosophies of Mercouris and the Duran. When Mercouris sticks to global geopolitical analysis and the proxy war in Ukraine, he's very worthwhile, his historical perspective and knowledge informs his opinions and I'm happy to listen to what he says. It's interesting too that when the guest opinion conflicts with what Mercouris himself has said before, and this happens quite frequently, he doesn't seem to wish to demur and argue his own point. I find that odd.
