Platner Collateral Damage Continues. Iran War Overflows Again. Trump Embarrasses at NATO.
About this episode
The episode discusses the expansion of Trump's military engagements, the implications of framing Antifa as a terror threat, and recent NATO gaffes.
Trump's forever war is expanding faster than anyone in the mainstream press is willing to say out loud. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has quietly invited more than 60 countries to a meeting framing Antifa as a transnational terror threat — the rhetorical scaffolding for troops in American cities and a move on Cuba before the midterms. Iran is a sucking chest wound draining roughly 40% of the US Navy into the Arabian Sea. A brave American, Commander Gabriel Edwards, was lost in the Seahawk crash on July 1st and almost no one covered it. And at NATO, the commander in chief confused Iran with Japan and Zelensky with Putin on camera.
