War in Iran: We Told You This Would Happen + Trump Flip Flops & Vietnam Gets Tough
About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing war in Iran, Trump's shifting stance on military presence, and geopolitical tensions involving China and Vietnam.
This week we couldn’t help ourselves, we had to do it. This war is such a shitshow a collective “we told you so” just needed to be said. From the reaction of the proxies to the swiftness with which Iran took control of the Strait of Hormuz to the continued and ever deepening suffering of the Iranian people, all of this was foreseeable. We looked into Trump’s recent change of heart on troops in Poland and the danger of China procuring our AI tech. Who woulda thought that could be a bad idea? We also checked in on why Vietnam is beefing up its maritime footprint and why JD gave Dems fighting fraud the cold shoulder. Apparently simply being inept wasn’t cutting it anymore.
