## Resource

Examination of Trump-era foreign policy: Iran deal rhetoric, China-Taiwan tensions, and Middle East dynamics. Critiques US hegemonic ambitions, Israel's influence on policy, and military limits against modern weapons like drones and hypersonic missiles. Discusses shifting Arab alliances toward Iran after failed US-Israel attacks, concerns over presidential business conflicts, and the Israel lobby's political power tested in key primaries. Argues lasting peace is impossible while nations claim dominance over others, urging honest discussion of root causes driving global instability. Explores how economic integration, not military force, shapes China's Taiwan strategy, and why US attempts to control global oil flows face structural limits in a multipolar world. Hosted on Acast.
