About this episode

David Pyne discusses Donald Trump's war on Iran and its implications for US foreign policy and Israel.

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to David Pyne, Deputy Executive Director of the US Taskforce on National and Homeland Security. He discusses Donald Trump’s war on Iran being a war based of lies for the Greater Israel project, the prospect of thousands of US soldiers dying in a ground invasion of Iran, Trump’s behaviour as an Israeli vassal, why he believes many in the Gulf States are angry at the US for the destabilisation caused by the war on Iran and the prioritisation of defending Israel, the extent of the damage against US bases in the Middle East, the most recent assassination attempt against Donald Trump, why this war shows the necessity for the US to end its security relationship with Israel, the future of the US military’s presence in Western European NATO and the state of the Ukraine proxy war, and much more.
