Ep. 186 - The War Nobody Voted For

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of America's military actions in Iran and the underlying forces driving the conflict.

America is bombing Iran — and less than 30% of the country wanted it. So who does this war actually serve? In this episode, I break down the real forces behind the conflict: Netanyahu's decades-long push for regime change, the Greater Israel project, and the Christian Zionist apocalyptic theology embedded inside Trump's cabinet. Add a Congress that just voted to surrender its own war powers, and you have a country drifting toward catastrophe with nobody at the wheel who was actually put there by the people. This is what happens when religious fundamentalism gets a seat at the table. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Leave a rating and review — it keeps the show going.
