About this episode

Cameron and Ray discuss the impact of the Trump administration's foreign policy on Cuba and the global stage, including humanitarian crises and financial shifts.

In this episode of *The Bullshit Filter*, Cameron and Ray dissect a world seemingly gone mad under the pressure of the Trump administration’s "maximum pressure" foreign policy. The duo explores the unfolding humanitarian disaster in Cuba, where a modern fuel blockade has pushed the island’s socialist experiment to the brink of collapse and triggered a "mini Bay of Pigs" skirmish. Beyond the Caribbean, they analyze the "Board of Peace"—a privatized, multibillion-dollar alternative to the UN Security Council run by Trump and a circle of luxury real estate developers. Finally, the conversation shifts to the global stage as the BRICS nations and the EU accelerate their "de-dollarization" efforts, launching digital payment systems like Wero to escape the reach of American financial weaponization. It’s a deep dive into an era defined by "grifts within grifts" and the slow-motion collapse of the post-WWII global order. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
