Summary

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Anthony Scaramucci, President Trump’s Former White House Communications Director and Founder of SkyBridge Capital. He discusses whether Donald Trump is losing in his war on Iran and what his likely strategy will be, his belief that the decision-making in the Trump Administration is a ‘council of one’, the Epstein Files and whether the war is a distraction from the damaging revelations, the prospect of US boots on the grounds in Iran, his goals for the war on Iran despite his opposition to the war beginning, Joe Kent’s assertion that the war on Iran is for Israel, whether the war on Iran was part of an effort to save US hegemony, the consequence of de-dollarisation as oil is priced in Chinese yuan, and much more.
