About this episode

The episode discusses Trump's military actions and rhetoric regarding Iran, highlighting the absurdity of his claims.

Trump called it Project Freedom, but Iran has already made Hormuz look like the place his rescue mission goes to get mugged by reality. Right, so Donald Trump has now compared his own navy to pirates, launched a supposedly humanitarian ship-rescue mission into the most dangerous waterway on Earth, rejected Iran’s latest peace plan as again not good enough, is still maintaining a blockade on Iranian ports, which also happens to be hampering oil, gas and other exports to the rest of the world and threatened force against anyone who interferes with his new freedom plan; all now being justified with even stupider arguments about Iranian threat and aggression, the latest offering from the public excuse machine being a coughed up a claim about Iranian suicide dolphins. Seriously. Suicide dolphins. The war argument has got so stupid now that somebody has apparently looked at destroyers, drones, aircraft, sanctions, oil seizures, blockades and a failing ceasefire, and decided the missing ingredient was Flipper with a death wish.
