## Resource

5pm-8pm UK Time | 12pm-3pm EST (US) | 9am-12pm PST (US) Show more This week on SUNDAY WIRE returns with host Patrick Henningsen reviewing the biggest and most impactful stories of the week—both in the US and internationally. It's now clear—based on reports of elite US ground troops being deployed to Middle East that Trump and Netanyahu are preparing for a ground invasion of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran—only with no clear objective or exit strategy. Will this massive doubling down move be a disaster for the US, the Gulf region and the world economy? It seems so. Later in the Overdrive segment, we’re joined by teammates Bryan “Hesher” McClain, Adam “Ruckus” Clark, and Basil Valentine, for deeper comment and analysis on this week’s earth-shaking geopolitical development. All this and more on this week’s edition of the SUNDAY WIRE. \*SUPPORT OUR FUNDRAISING DRIVE HERE: [https://21w.co/support](https://21w.co/support) Listen to the Sunday Wire every Sunday at 5pm UK Time/12pm EST: [https://21stcenturywire.com/category/sunday-wire-radio-show/](https://21stcenturywire.com/category/sunday-wire-radio-show/) OUR FEATURED MUSIC ARTISTS: The Real Anthem Band: [https://therealanthemband.bandcamp.com/](https://therealanthemband.bandcamp.com/) Joseph Arthur: [https://josepharthur.bandcamp.com/](https://josepharthur.bandcamp.com/) Peyoti for President: [https://peyoti.com/](https://peyoti.com/) Red Rumble: [https://www.youtube.com/@RedRumbleBand](https://www.youtube.com/@RedRumbleBand) Peter Conway: [https://www.peterconway.net/](https://www.peterconway.net/) VISIT OUR AFFILIATE SPONSORS: Health Solutions - Shop at Clive de Carle: [https://21w.co/shop-clive](https://21w.co/shop-clive) FOLLOW OUR TELEGRAM CHANNEL: [https://t.me/My21wire](https://t.me/My21wire) Countdown Music: Song: C…
