2026/10/04

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

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 of

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

Sixty thousand bombs is not a headline you just scroll past, especially when the bill is picked up by U.S. taxpayers. We start by unpacking reports that Washington has agreed to provide Israel a huge package of heavy munitions, including 2,000-pound bombs and penetrator “bunker buster” style weapons. We talk through what that amount of firepower means in practical terms, why it raises immediate concerns about how it will be used in Gaza and beyond, and how funding mechanisms like foreign military

World War II is the one war we’re still not allowed to talk about like history, and that’s exactly why we should. I’m joined by Darryl Cooper to dig into what happens when a past conflict becomes a civic religion, complete with taboos, approved villains, and moral shortcuts that shape how Americans see today’s wars. When you try to tell the German perspective with real nuance, people often assume you’re “carrying water” for the worst actors. We explain why that reaction is so common, what it reveals

We’re not buying slogans, so we pull the thread on what “going great” is supposed to mean when U.S. munitions stockpiles are thinning, regional bases are taking hits, and the Strait of Hormuz still looks anything but normal for global shipping. If you care about U.S. foreign policy, oil prices, and the real costs of escalation with Iran, this conversation is built for you.I’m joined by writer Nolan Denaro,
