What The Fugg is a hard-hitting geopolitics and world affairs podcast that cuts through propaganda, performative diplomacy, and political theater. Each episode breaks down global power struggles, wars of influence, sanctions, empires in decline, and leaders who mistake ego for strategy. From U.S. foreign policy and Middle East flashpoints to great-power rivalry, energy politics, and global hypocrisy — nothing is treated gently, and nothing is taken at face value. This is not “both-sides” comfort analysis. This is direct, uncomfortable, and unapologetic commentary for listeners who are tired

    Manufacturing the Enemy - Iran, Trump, and America’s Recycled War Doctrine

    Manufacturing the Enemy examines how the United States repeatedly constructs foreign adversaries to justify coercion, sanctions, and war. Drawing sharp parallels between the campaign against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and the current pressure on Iran, the series explores how propaganda, economic warfare, and moral absolutism replace diplomacy. Through historical context and geopolitical analysis, this work exposes how “maximum pressure” strategies devastate civilian populations while entrenching authoritarian power, destabilizing entire regions, and empowering rival global actors. It challenges the myth of strength through domination and questions whether the United States has learned anything from its past interventions. This is not a defense of regimes—but an indictment of a system that mistakes punishment for policy and arrogance for leadership.
