LARRY JOHNSON: Trump’s Iran War Threat Reaches the Brink (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A lot of foreign policy talk collapses into slogans until you ask one simple question: if things are going fine, why are oil prices still telling a different story? We bring Larry Johnson back to sort through the gap between public claims and what the Strait of Hormuz, tanker security, and the energy market seem to be signaling in real time. Along the way, we react to Iran’s blunt skepticism about negotiations after attacks and alleged deal violations, and we talk through why US Iran diplomacy l
Showdown at the UN: The US and Iran Escalate Tensions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trump takes the UN stage and talks about Iran the way politicians talk when they want options to expand a war without owning the cost. I walk through what he said, why it lands as bluster instead of strategy, and how that kind of rhetoric can still be dangerous when it becomes the basis for real policy. If you care about US foreign policy, Middle East war risk, and how diplomacy gets weaponized, this one is for you. From there, I compare the Iranian president’s response to the American narrative
Joe Terwilliger: Tensions Flare in East Asia as North Korea Tests Hypersonic Missiles! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A single phrase can change the whole global chessboard: nuclear first use. We start by reacting to speculation about a US nuclear strike in Iran and lay out why even “unlikely” decisions matter when escalation could pull in Russia, China, and every other nuclear-armed state. Deterrence is supposed to prevent war, but it also creates terrifying edge cases where leaders gamble for leverage and everyone else has to guess what comes next. From there, we pivot to the Korean Peninsula and the reality
BILL BUPPERT: Are the Houthis a Real Threat to Saudi Arabia and the American Empire? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen has dragged on for years, but one detail should stop you in your tracks: the New York Times reports Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has reached out to Donald Trump three times asking for US military help against Ansar Allah and each time Trump declines. That raises a bigger question than day-to-day headlines ever do: what is it about the Houthis and Yemen’s battlefield that makes even Washington hesitate? We sit down with Bill Buppert to break down the core drivers o
LT. COL. KAREN KWIATKOWSKI : Rescued Pilot Finally Surfaces, Hegseth Goes on Tour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A miracle survival story can be true and still be used as propaganda, and that tension is exactly what we can’t ignore. We bring back Lt.Col. Karen Kwiatkowski to react to the long-awaited 60 Minutes appearance by the rescued Iran shootdown survivor known as “Bravo” and to explain why the interview lands as flat, scripted, and oddly incomplete. We look at what’s emphasized (patriotic messaging, praise for institutions, polished phrasing) and what’s missing (messy human memory, granular sensory d
