About this episode

The episode discusses Iran's ultimatum to Trump, US military deployments, the war in Lebanon, and the situation in Mali, among other geopolitical issues.

In this packed week of WWIII analysis we (Conrad & Dmitriy) discuss the 14-point plan Iran presented to Trump, how Trump has already rejected it, and the high likelihood of fighting starting again THIS WEEK. We also discuss the latest US deployments to CENTCOM, the naval blockade, & the economic damage from the straits of Hormuz remaining closed. Then we get into the war in Lebanon, the growing rifts in Lebanese society as more civilians show support for the resistance, news on Syria/Gaza, & other regional updates. Russia continues to advance in Ukraine while Ukraine hit critical Russian energy facilities throughout the past weeks & Trump has pulled 5000 troops out of Germany while pledging to pull out far more. Finally we discuss the near collapse of the Malian junta & their defenders: the Russian Africa Corps, the advances of the JNIM (al-Qaeda adjacent)/Tuareg forces, the latest advances by the Myanmar junta in the civil war there, China/Taiwan, Church news, & MORE!
