Not Iraq. Not Afghanistan. Not 9/11. And now, with Iran, the cycle is repeating itself. For 23 years, Michael Scheuer served inside the CIA. In this week’s episode of The Tea, he joins us to pull back the curtain on what he calls America’s “imperial hubris” — a foreign policy driven by arrogance, endless intervention, and political capture. From Israel’s influence on Washington to the failures of the War on Terror, Scheuer argues the US keeps repeating catastrophic mistakes — while the cost is paid in blood, instability, and permanent war. “America is still trapped in a cult of World War II, acting as though it remains the unchallenged power of 1945, despite decades of global backlash.” Also in the show: ⚡ 9/11, bin Laden & missed opportunities ⚡ Israel’s grip on US foreign policy ⚡ The CIA rendition program ⚡ Iran — another example of American hubris ⚡ Trump’s “anti-war” promises — and the reality ⚡ The business of war — and who benefits from endless conflict ⚡ The cost of being under Israel’s thumb ⚡ Sanctions as a failed policy ⚡ AIPAC’s deep influence on Congress and the Senate ⚡ Is America drifting toward another civil conflict? “Trump’s words and actions are a reminder that we’re at the bottom of the barrel. How long can we keep voting for people who don’t do what they say they’re gonna do?” 👉 Subscribe for fearless, independent conversations 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #MichaelScheuer #Trump2026 #USPolitics #Iran #CIA #Israel #Zionism #MiddleEast #news # #currentaffairs AUDIO CREDITS Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam François Guest: Michael Scheuer Senior Producer: Sara Farolfi Producer: Sana Serroukh Assistant Producer: Poppy Jacobs Research: Constance…","meta_description":"https://www.theteanetwork.co America has learned nothing from its wars.
