This episode breaks down the "magic thinking" in Washington, the lack of clear military objectives, and the shifting mindset of GCC nations. We discuss the deepening US-Israel military integration via the NDAA, the clash between AIPAC and shifting American public opinion, and the asymmetric realities in Lebanon. Plus, an analysis of failed US-Russia diplomacy in Ukraine, the emerging Russia-China-Iran tech alliance targeting Starlink, and the bizarre Greenland acquisition rumors.
