The market is trying to forget there's a war going on. I think the market is terribly wrong." — David Woo Former Bank of America head David Woo warns the Middle East is a U.S.-China proxy war, AI faces a regulatory crackdown, and gold remains a safe haven despite near-term pressure from rising real yields.

Antoun Issa grew up quietly aware of a profound grief in his mother's eyes. As an adult, after living and working in the Middle East, he finally knew how to ask her about surviving the Lebanese Civil War.Antoun is a journalist who grew up in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, after his parents had escaped the civil war in Lebanon in the 1970s.Growing up in Craigieburn as the baby of the family, Antoun was particularly close with his mother.He was always conscious of a deep sadness in his mother's eyes, but was wary of asking her too many questions.As an adult, Antoun went to live and work in Lebanon.There, in the Middle East, where he worked as a journalist, Antoun saw firsthand what happens when the trajectory of human life is interrupted by conflict and violence.Upon returning home to Australia, he was finally ready to ask his mother about the source of her quiet and enduring grief, and what came out of her was a remarkable story of true love, true loss and resilience.Upon returning home to Australia, he was finally ready to ask his mother about the source of her quiet and enduring grief, and what came out of her was a remarkable story of true love, true loss and resilience.REBIRTH: A Love Story from the Depths of War is published by Hachette.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

While the corporate media chased royal visits and partisan drama, they completely ignored one of the most important diplomatic developments in the Ukraine conflict in years.In this hard-hitting episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings delivers the behind-the-scenes conservative analysis you won't hear anywhere else.After a direct one-and-a-half-hour phone call, American leadership and Vladimir Putin reached a joint assessment that the Kiev regime under Zelenskyy has strong incentives to prolong the war as long as American taxpayers keep sending blank checks. The result? Russia has now declared a unilateral Victory Day ceasefire for May 8th and 9th — timed to the 81st anniversary of Russia's most important national holiday commemorating victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.Doug breaks down exactly what this means: the end of the blank-check era, the cracking of the old postwar order, and the return of clear-eyed America First diplomacy that puts American families, American security, and American interests first.You'll get the historical perspective on proxy wars, why the incentives in Kiev and Europe have been to keep the conflict going, and the hopeful reality that America is finally resetting the table on our terms — bringing lower costs, stronger security, and real possibility of peace.This is proud conservatism at its best: honest about the facts, unapologetic about putting America First, and optimistic about the future.If you want analysis the mainstream media refuses to give you, this is the episode for you.✅ Subscribe, rate, and review The Right Side on your favorite podcast app — it helps us reach more listeners.✅ Watch the full video version on YouTube @TheRightSideDougBillings✅ Follow Doug on X: @DougBillingsThe mainstream may try to bury these stories — but here on The Right Side we always dig them up and give you the truth.God bless America.The Right Side — unique conservative analysis you can't find anywhere else.#TrumpPutin #Ceasefire #VictoryDay #Ukraine #AmericaFirst #DougBillings #TheRightSide #Conservative #Podcast #BreakingNews #fypSupport the show

The conflict in Ukraine did not start in February 2022; it had started a long while before. The 2014 Maidan coup installed a fascist government led by the followers of WW2 Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera. This coup was actually the first blow in the yet-to-be-declared war against Russia. The coup enraged the people of Crimea and the Donbass, who refused to live in a state ruled by fascists. Crimea held a referendum in which the population overwhelmingly decided to rejoin Russia. Ever since 2014, the Ukrainian military, backed by the fascist Azov battalions, have been bombarding the Donbass republics, killing 14,000 people and terrorising the resistant population all over Ukraine on a daily basis. The conflict in Ukraine is not between Ukraine and Russia. It is a proxy war waged by the neo-nazi Nato alliance, which wants regime change in Russia in order to loot that country's vast resources. Faced with this threat to its very existence, Russia has had little choice but to resort to force, with the twin purposes of denazifying and demilitarising Ukraine. In this war, workers and all of progressive humanity must support Russia, which is waging a heroic fight against the combined forces of imperialism. ---------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

A shocking report claims China may have played a direct role in attacks on U.S. forces—by providing satellite targeting to Iran and its proxies. Tara breaks down what this means for U.S. national security, the broader conflict in the Middle East, and why this story didn't get the attention it deserved. Plus: fallout in Washington as Democrats push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, raising questions about political priorities during a global crisis. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY This episode centers on explosive allegations that China provided satellite intelligence to Iran, enabling missile strikes on U.S. bases that killed American service members and injured hundreds more. Tara frames the development as a major escalation—arguing it signals a deeper alignment between China and Iran and a shift toward proxy-style conflict involving the U.S. The conversation expands to include: Prior incidents involving Houthi attacks in the Red Sea The strategic importance of global shipping routes Rising geopolitical tension involving China and Iran Political backlash in Washington, including impeachment efforts targeting Pete Hegseth The episode ultimately questions whether the U.S. is already in a form of indirect conflict—and whether leadership is treating it with the urgency it requires.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes a new guest to the show David Woo. David is a Macro Analyst and Former Wall Street strategist. In this wide-ranging interview, Woo provides insights into the current geopolitical and economic landscape, focusing on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and its potential implications for global markets. Woo argues that the current war represents the first proxy conflict between the United States and China, with Iran playing a strategic role. He suggests that the conflict’s outcome could significantly impact global dynamics, particularly concerning oil trade and maritime control. Specifically, he highlights the potential for China to resist US control of the Strait of Hormuz, drawing parallels to historical conflicts like Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Regarding gold, Woo offers a nuanced perspective. He explains that gold’s recent performance has been more closely correlated with stock market movements, driven largely by retail investor behavior rather than traditional fundamental drivers like inflation or de-dollarization. While he remains long-term bullish on gold, he believes the metal’s short-term performance is more tied to broader market sentiment. On oil markets, Woo is fundamentally bearish, citing massive global production increases from non-OPEC producers like Ghana, Venezuela, Brazil, and the United States. He anticipates oil prices will eventually collapse, particularly once the current conflict resolves. He also sees potential opportunities in defense-related sectors, believing increased military spending is likely in the conflict’s aftermath. Woo’s analysis extends to broader geopolitical trends, including the potential reshaping of global economic relationships.

One of the most respected macro strategists on Wall Street, today he brings that same independent, data-driven analysis directly to retail investors — free from institutional bias, groupthink, and agendas. He is joined by John Hopkinson, PhD, a mathematician trained at MIT, who translates David’s macro vision into precise, actionable trading strategy — complete with stock selections, targets, and stop levels published every week.

The death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the hands of the United States marks the end of nearly four decades of authoritarian theocracy in Iran. Hawk reads and analyzes a piece from The Atlantic by Karim Sadjadpour examining Khamenei's life, his ruthless consolidation of power through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and how the Islamic Republic of Iran was built on three ideological pillars: death to America, death to Israel, and the forced covering of women. Drawing direct parallels to the Taliban in Afghanistan, Hawk walks through the Taliban's systematic oppression of women since retaking power in 2021, from banning girls from school after age 12 to prohibiting women from appearing in public without a burka. The comparison extends to white Christian nationalism, Project 2025, and the Heritage Foundation, examining how fundamentalist religion across Islam, Christianity, and other faiths has long been weaponized by insecure men to control and silence women and girls. The IRGC's role as Khamenei's political and economic power base mirrors how Trump has used loyal institutions to consolidate control. Eric Hoffer's observation that mass movements require belief in a devil, not God, applies as much to MAGA's targeting of immigrants, trans people, and the left as it did to Khamenei's America. The Iranian government's killing of 7,000 to 10,000 protesters over economic grievances, while spending on proxy wars instead of healthcare, parallels Republican cuts to Medicaid and SNAP alongside a $200 billion ICE budget. Khamenei lived by death to America and death to Israel. Those are exactly the forces that killed him.

Please Follow Angry Male Vet Here: SubStack: https://angrymalevet.substack.com/ YouTube: @AngryMaleVet TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/discover/angry-male-vet Hawk and Angry Male Vet cut through the noise on the U.S. war with Iran, four days in and already without a clear objective, an exit strategy, or a definition of what victory even looks like. The conversation covers how Netanyahu and Trump pushed the U.S. into military conflict with Iran while Gulf allies opened their airspace and stayed out of offensive operations entirely. Rubio's admission that the U.S. knew Iran strikes were coming and did nothing to stop them draws sharp scrutiny from a combat veteran's perspective. The discussion covers the depletion of U.S. and Israeli interceptor missiles, Iran's deliberate strategy of using cheap drones and missiles to drain stockpiles, and what happens when the Iron Dome starts running out of ammunition. The purging of senior military leadership, including the firing of Iran cyber experts by Kash Patel just 36 hours before the war began, raises serious questions about institutional knowledge inside the Pentagon and FBI. Pete Hegseth's performance as Defense Secretary, Dan Cain's appointment as Joint Chiefs Chairman over 43 active generals, and Tim Pool's presence at Pentagon briefings paint a picture of an administration running on perceived loyalty rather than competence. The AIPAC money trail, the Tom Malinowski primary story, and Mark Kelly's shifting position on the war powers resolution expose how a foreign lobbying organization controls votes in both parties. The call to action is clear: contact representatives, reject AIPAC money, support the March 28th No Kings protest, and register voters for 2026.

The discussion delves into the complex historical eras of Iraq, challenging binary understandings of its past and present. A professor at Haverford College and author of "Political Undesirables: Citizen Denaturalization and Reclamation in Iraq and Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia", Zainab Saleh discusses how the Iraq she grew up in—during the Ba'ath Party reign and under Saddam Hussein—was a time of fear and repression, despite the earlier period of high hopes and political aspirations in the 1940s and 1950s. She explores the concept of nostalgia for the Saddam era, which exists even among those who suffered under the regime, because of the basic services that were provided. The conversation offers a nuanced timeline of modern Iraqi history, from World War I's role in creating Middle Eastern nation-states through the Ottoman and British rules, the monarchy, and the Ba'ath Party. A key focus is placed on the 1990s as a major turning point, with the 1991 bombardment and subsequent sanctions leading to the rapid deterioration of infrastructure, increased social problems like begging and corruption, and environmental collapse. We consider the argument that the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the US invasion should be viewed as one long, continuous war. Saleh critiques the simplistic narrative that Americans brought to Iraq after 2003, arguing that it institutionalized a sectarian political system. She emphasizes that the American discourse—classifying Sunnis as loyalists and Shia or Kurds as oppressed—ignored the reality of mixed communities and complex political loyalties. Saleh explores the historical use of denaturalization in Iraq, a topic central to her latest book. She details how the British and subsequent Iraqi regimes used the pretext of "political undesirables" to strip citizens of their rights, citing examples such as Iraqi Jews in the 1950s and Iraqis of Iranian origin in the 1980s. 0:00 Introduction 1:50 When Did The Iraq You Grew Up In Start?2:54 The High Hopes of the 1940s and 1950s3:33 Nostalgia, Time, and Loss7:09 The Broad Phases of Iraqi History9:33 Cultural Renaissance Under the Monarchy10:00 Vibrant Leftist Politics in the Monarchy Era11:39 Nostalgia for the Monarchy13:00 The Largest Effect on Daily Life: 1991 Bombardment and Sanctions16:29 Connecting the Wars: One Long War17:59 The Lead-up to Saddam's Invasion of Kuwait19:33 The Vision of the Neoconservatives20:40 Misunderstandings about US Imperialism22:11 The Myth of Iraqi Sectarianism23:24 The Institutionalization of a Sectarian System25:27 The Role of the Iraqi Opposition Abroad28:29 Phases of Post-2003 Iraq29:12 The Civil War and Proxy War (2006-2008)30:20 Displacement and the Reorganization of Iraqi Society30:52 Social Mobilization: 2011 and the Tishreen Uprising (2019)31:24 The Catastrophe of ISIS34:29 The Problem with Nostalgic Photos40:14 When One Dictator Becomes a Source of Nostalgia41:16 The Book: Political Undesirables and Denaturalization41:59 The Deportation of Iraqis of Iranian Origin (1980)44:48 Denaturalization as a Systemic Pattern48:19 Issuing Passports After World War I51:00 The Expulsion of Iraqi Jews (1950)51:25 Iraqi Jews as an Integral Part of Society52:44 The Ancient History of Babylonian Jews55:20 The Basis for Expulsion58:19 Recommended Readings on Iraqi History Zainab Saleh is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College and the author of books "Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia" (2020) and "Political Undesirables: Citizenship, Denaturalization, and Reclamation in Iraq" (2025).Connect with Zainab Saleh

Sudan's collapse isn't a natural disaster — it's a deliberate act of imperial design.For decades, Washington has waged economic warfare and proxy conflicts to dismantle Sudan's sovereignty. Now, with Israel and the UAE leading the charge, Sudan is being stripped of its gold, oil, and independence under the banner of “stability.”In this episode, Mnar Adley exposes how U.S. policy, Israeli intelligence, and Emirati financing have turned Sudan into a war laboratory — and why its destruction is central to the West's war on the Axis of Resistance and China's Belt and Road Initiative.From the famine in Darfur to the blood gold flowing to Dubai, this is the architecture of U.S. imperialism at work — and a warning to every nation daring to defy it.Guests:Mnar Adley — Founder and director of MintPress News, host of Behind The HeadlinesAlan MacLeod — Senior Staff Writer and producer at MintPress NewsTopics Covered:U.S. sanctions and the deliberate destabilization of SudanIsrael and the UAE's proxy war roleThe theft of Sudan's gold and control of Red Sea portsWashington's strategy against China, Russia, and Iran in AfricaThe humanitarian façade behind imperial wars

John Anderson speaks with David Eubank and Dr. Sean Turnell about the realities of China's involvement in Myanmar's civil war following their 2021 military coup and why it matters for Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. They reflect on Eubank's first-hand experience providing humanitarian relief at the front line of guerilla warfare in the jungle, and Turnell's harrowing ordeal as a political prisoner for 650 days under the military regime. They explore Myanmar's struggle for freedom, the staggering human cost of resistance, and the courage of those who continue to serve amid war and persecution.The discussion calls for urgent attention to the expansion of China's Belt and Road Initiative and Russia's growing footprint in the region. The crisis in Myanmar is not isolated but emblematic of the moral test facing free societies—whether they will stand with those who fight for liberty under tyranny. This is a sobering reminder of the need for moral resolve and principled leadership in an increasingly dangerous world. Dave Eubank is a former U.S. Special Forces soldier who has spent nearly three decades on the front lines of some of the world's most brutal conflicts. He is the founder of the Free Burma Rangers and continues to deliver humanitarian aid in active war zones alongside his family.Sean Turnell is an Australian economist and former economic policy advisor to State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar. He spent 650 days in a Myanmar prison and wrote about the experience in his book An Unlikely Prisoner: How an Eternal Optimist Found Hope in Myanmar's Most Notorious Jail.

Trump's campaign promise to end the Ukraine war “within a day” has given way to a more complex reality. DeCamp […]

In this explosive interview on *Judging Freedom*, journalist Max Blumenthal dissects the West's role in escalating global conflicts, from British-backed drone attacks sabotaging Ukraine-Russia peace talks to Israel's AI-driven genocide in Gaza. He exposes Palantir's deep ties to the U.S. government and its complicity in surveillance and warfare, while condemning figures like Lindsey Graham for endorsing violence against activists like Greta Thunberg. Blumenthal also reveals how Trump's diplomacy is being undermined by neocons and intelligence agencies. A chilling analysis of power, technology, and imperialism, this conversation is a must-watch for understanding the hidden forces shaping today's wars.Watch on Telegram TheGrayzone.com

This episode delivers a searing exposé on the roots of the U.S.-Russia conflict, tracing it back to 2016 when Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Amy Klobuchar flew to Ukraine with tanks on Russia's border—while knowing the Russia collusion narrative was false. Now, amid drone strikes deep inside Russian territory, the mystery deepens: Did Donald Trump know? His aides say no. Ukraine says yes. Former intelligence officials and commentators, including Mike Flynn, Steve Bannon, and Rebecca Koffler, warn of escalating NATO involvement and a dangerously uninformed Trump. Is the U.S. already in a direct kinetic war with Russia? And if Trump's being kept in the dark, who's really in control?

In this two-part deep dive, we trace a dangerous arc from the 2016 Russia collusion hoax to today's open proxy war with Moscow. Part one revisits how key figures like Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Amy Klobuchar—armed with tanks and false accusations—provoked Russia while knowing the narrative of election interference was fabricated. Part two uncovers the alarming disconnect between U.S. intelligence agencies and Donald Trump, as massive drone strikes target Russian nuclear bombers. Former intel officials and insiders sound the alarm: if Trump didn't know, we may be heading toward World War III under a shadow government. If he did—why is he silent? A gripping investigation into the lies, cover-ups, and escalations driving us to the brink.

In this discussion, Aaron Maté analyzes the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, highlighting how European leaders and NATO continue to escalate tensions with Russia through dire warnings and increased military support. He critiques the lack of diplomatic efforts, pointing to Russia's consistent demands—such as no NATO expansion and recognition of Crimea—while the U.S. and Europe dismiss them as unreasonable. Maté also examines the political dynamics within the Trump administration, where figures like Marco Rubio advocate for prolonging the war, while others, like JD Vance, push for negotiations. The conversation underscores the human cost of the conflict, including forced conscription in Ukraine, and questions the motives behind Western policies that prioritize confrontation over peace.

In this powerful episode of xMonks Drive, Kargil War Hero and Param Vir Chakra awardee Captain Yogendra Singh Yadav speaks with Gaurav Arora about the Pahalgam terror attack, the truth about Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, and what it truly means to be an Indian soldier.From surviving 15 bullets at Tiger Hill to calling out cowardice masked as ideology, Yogendra Singh Yadav brings raw courage, unfiltered truth, and deep patriotism to this conversation.He reflects on:- Why religion doesn't exist on the battlefield- The mindset of Indian soldiers versus terrorists- What really happened in Pahalgam- His thoughts on Pakistan, war, and national security- What Bhagat Singh and the youth of India can still teach us todayThis is more than a political debate — it's a soldier's lived truth. Watch till the end for a message every Indian must hear.

In this powerful two-part exposé, the host delivers a searing analysis of how foreign adversaries—led by China, Iran, and Venezuela—are allegedly working hand-in-hand with the Democratic Party to undermine U.S. sovereignty, military strength, and election integrity. From China supplying satellite data to Houthis for attacks on U.S. Navy ships, to Democrat-linked platforms like ActBlue allegedly laundering foreign donations, to judicial obstruction of Trump's executive orders aimed at securing federal elections—this narrative pulls no punches. The host draws bold connections between college campus radicalization, compromised voter rolls in swing states, and a judicial system weaponized against Trump. A dire warning: America's enemies aren't just overseas—they're embedded within.

Joe Biden has just weeks left in his presidency. Israel's genocidal war against Gaza is continuing at full force. In Lebanon, the so-called ceasefire was one-sided by U.S. design, meant to require only Hezbollah to cease its fire. A U.N. peacekeeping force official told CNN Tuesday that Israel had committed roughly 100 violations of the ceasefire, including gradually intensifying military strikes in southern Lebanon. After several days of Israeli attacks, Hezbollah fired back what it said was a warning to Israel. And now Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is saying he is going to escalate even further.In the midst of all of this, in Syria, armed opposition forces seeking to topple the government of Bashar al-Assad stunned the region when they marched into Syria's second largest city, Aleppo, and encountered almost no resistance from the Syrian armed forces or their allies. That operation was led by the group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or the Organization for the Liberation of the Levant, which the U.S. government has classified as a terror organization. HTS has its origins in ISIS and Al Qaeda, though the group's leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani has spent years seeking to rebrand HTS as a national liberation front that is no longer affiliated with either Al Qaeda or ISIS. While the events in Syria unfold against the backdrop of the U.S.-facilitated Israeli wars in Gaza and Lebanon, there are many factors that led to this moment in Syria. On the new episode of Drop Site News's podcast Intercepted, Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi, a historian who focuses on jihadist groups in Iraq and Syria, joins Jeremy Scahill for a wide-ranging discussion on the unfolding situation.This episode is a production of Drop Site News, brought to you, in part, by a grant from The Intercept.
