About this episode

This episode discusses the potential implications of US ground troop deployments in the Middle East and features analysis from various guests.

This week on SUNDAY WIRE returns with host Patrick Henningsen reviewing the biggest and most impactful stories of the week—both in the US and internationally. It's now clear—based on reports of elite US ground troops being deployed to Middle East that Trump and Netanyahu are preparing for a ground invasion of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran—only with no clear objective or exit strategy. Will this massive doubling down move be a disaster for the US, the Gulf region and the world economy? It seems so. Later in the Overdrive segment, we're joined by teammates Bryan "Hesher" McClain , Adam "Ruckus" Clark , and Basil Valentine , for deeper comment and analysis on this week's earth-shaking geopolitical development. All this and more on this week's edition of the SUNDAY WIRE.
