## Resource

Matt Carano and CJ Killmer bring you the latest in news and politics. This week, Trump's own officials leaked a call to Axios where he called Netanyahu "crazy" and "ungrateful." Hours later, Israel ran its worst bombing campaign in southern Lebanon in weeks. The feud made headlines. The policy didn't move an inch. Matt and CJ Killmer break down why the blowup was theater, why the Iran war is the most unpopular American war in modern history yet nobody's in the streets, and what the $32 million it took to unseat Thomas Massie actually tells you about who runs US foreign policy. Plus: the case for capture, the Vietnam-era stat-juking playing out again, and the escalation that closed Kuwait's main airport. CJ also previews the new episode of the Dangerous History Podcast — the Peloponnesian War, the Sicilian Expedition, and why a 2,400-year-old "it'll be easy" war keeps repeating.
