Summary
Managing director at Beacon Global Strategies and host of the NatSec Matters podcast, Michael Allen, discusses the severe crackdown by the Iranian regime on civilian protesters, a digital blackout to suppress communication and whether the U.S. will get involved. Michael also explains the Trump administration's involvement in Venezuela following the detention of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He argues why this political action by the administration sets a strong precedent for defending issues abroad. I Wish Someone Had Told Me: Michael shares his analysis on the Russia-Ukraine war, including Russia's use of a hypersonic missile to attack Lviv. Learn more about your ad choices.
