The Forever War Machine Shifts Its Sights to Cuba. Hegseth and Trump Want the Focus Off of Iran.
About this episode
The episode discusses the shift in focus from Iran to Cuba by political figures amidst ongoing military spending and public safety concerns.
Two months in, $25 billion spent, more than a dozen Americans dead, gas at 4.30 a gallon — and now Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump want to change the subject from Iran to Cuba. This is the forever war machine in real time: shift the target, claim the win, drag allies along, and hope the country doesn't notice. The angry middle is noticing. And they don't feel safer.
