Has the US found a way to beat Iran at its own game?
About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing Iran war, the impact of democratic socialists on US capitalism, potential changes in the UN, and the concept of an 'aura battle'.
As strikes resume, we discuss whether the Iran war could stretch on forever. Then: are democratic socialists going to ruin US capitalism? Could a new secretary-general rebrand the UN? And what the hell is an “aura battle”? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
