## Resource

In this episode, we analyze the shifting geopolitical landscapes of the Middle East and Eastern Europe. We discuss the ongoing conflict in Lebanon, the strength of Iran’s "arc of resistance," and the strategic leverage Tehran holds over Washington and Tel Aviv. The conversation exposes the deeply intertwined US-Israeli military and intelligence apparatus, questioning true US sovereignty in foreign policy. Finally, we assess the war in Ukraine, highlighting Russia's strategic advances, the impending collapse of Ukrainian defenses in the Donbass, and why a distracted US is powerless to alter the outcome. Tune in for an unfiltered look at global power dynamics and the future of US foreign policy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
