About this episode

Cameron and Ray discuss the impact of the Trump administration's foreign policy on Cuba and the global stage.

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
