## Resource

This episode dives deep into the escalating US-Iran confrontation in the Persian Gulf and the broader Middle East crisis. We explore Iran's unified resistance, the severe economic and military strains on the US—including oil disruptions and depleted munitions—and Israel's desperate multi-front wars driven by eschatological delusions. The discussion also unpacks the profound influence of Anglo-Zionist networks on Western foreign policy. Can the US truly withdraw from endless wars, or is it trapped by oligarchic forces pushing for further global conflicts, including potential new flashpoints in Cuba and Eastern Europe? Tune in for a comprehensive geopolitical analysis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
