## Resource

The Parliament makes confusing global geopolitics and American national security digestible. Not just acronyms but explanations. In this episode, Darion invites Heritage Foundation Vice President of National Security Victoria Coates to the show. Darion and Dr. Coates discuss everything from the military operations in Iran to global energy supply and demand, the Palestinians, China (of course), and even owls. We learn about how Iran is just a part of the global grand strategy of President Trump, and what the day-after can look like.
