We break down the failure of US deterrence in the Strait of Hormuz, reveal how Gulf states are quietly making security deals with Iran, and discuss the controversial congressional acts aimed at merging the US and Israeli militaries. Later, we explore the rapid collapse of public trust in American institutions, the abuse of the WWII narrative to justify modern conflicts, and provide a frontline update on the Russia-Ukraine war, including the truth behind battlefield casualties and Zelensky's PR-driven counter-offensives.Timestamps:00:00 - Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz & Failure of US Deterrence04:33 - Are Gulf States Making Secret Deals with Iran?11:06 - Is Israel a Liability?
