    Trump Throws Israel Under The Bus? | US-Iran Deal | Putin's Strategy

    In this episode, we break down the geopolitical shockwaves of the new US-Iran-Pakistan Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Is Donald Trump preparing to throw Israel under the bus and decouple the US from endless Middle East wars? We discuss Israel's meltdown over the Lebanon ceasefire, whether the US is surrendering to Iran or scoring a victory for the American people, and if this marks the true end of the American empire in the Middle East. Plus, we pivot to Eastern Europe to analyze Putin's shift away from diplomacy, the role of Elon Musk's Starlink in Ukraine, and the UK's dangerous "piracy" of Russian shadow fleet oil tankers.
