Ukrainian AI-guided drones have turned the R-280 land corridor into a 200km slaughterhouse, triggering a catastrophic fuel famine and rationing in Crimea. And to hide the smoke from their own citizens, Roskomnadzor's war on Cloudflare is accidentally bricking the Russian banking sector.Join us from the GonzoLab as we dissect the Z-patriot meltdowns, the "Cheburnet" kill-switch, and the Kremlin's desperate pivot to a 20-year infinite war.Become our patron:https://www.patreon.com/theeasternborderMerch store + another option for memberships:https://theeasternborder-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow what's going on here in the very border of Eastern Europe:https://bsky.app/profile/theeasternborder.lvDownload all episodes for free on our website; pictures accompanying certain episodes can be found there as well!http://theeasternborder.lv/Car4Ukraine Eastern Border Summer Campaign!https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/summer-sunshine-trucks-2026-eastern-borderSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

Scott Ritter : The US Will Never LearnSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Young commentator Adam Mockler recently confronted CNN's Scott Jennings on live television, reminding the pundit that he and his allies sold the Iraq war with the exact same arguments—WMDs, terror state, mushroom clouds—that they are now using to justify the Iran war, and that Jennings previously promised the war would last four to six weeks while it is now failing with no political concessions and Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz. Jennings became visibly enraged, falsely claiming Mockler had a finger in his face and calling him "ungrateful to American service personnel," while mocking his age and telling him to get "life experience" before having an opinion.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point to a Glenn Greenwald tweet noting that what truly enraged Jennings was not a finger but the fact that Mockler violated the "implicit self-protective taboo" in Washington against reminding war promoters that they were catastrophically wrong about Iraq. They conclude that the exchange perfectly illustrates why young people don't trust establishment media and war hawks, noting that Iran has killed zero Americans in 47 years while the US has spent trillions on failed Middle East wars that have made Americans less safe. Plus segments on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's closed-door testimony about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and disuputed claims about how long Iran can withstand a US blockade. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Scott Ritter! And a phone call from JD Vance and Benjamin Netanyahu!

Jimmy speaks with Professor Xueqin Jiang about the recent US seizure of an Iranian cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which Scott Ritter labeled an "act of piracy" and a violation of the ceasefire. Jiang argues the ceasefire is pure theater, allowing the US to build up 60,000 troops for a three-pronged attack involving a naval blockade, arming ethnic insurgents, and bombing Iranian civilian infrastructure like power and water plants to force surrender.  Jiang also warns that if the US resumes the war, Iran will strike Gulf Arab states and Israel hard, potentially knocking out desalination plants and one-third of the world's energy supply, rendering Gulf cities uninhabitable. Jiang concludes that the US National Security Strategy aims to create a "Fortress America" technate that makes the world dependent on American energy, but this will fail due to corruption, polarization, and a Russian-Chinese-Iranian continental trade bloc. Plus segments on the IDF soldier who smashed a Jesus statue in southern Lebanon, reports that Trump tried to nuke Iran over the weekend and just why that would be such a terrible idea. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jeffrey Toobin!

Jimmy Dore analyzes Donald Trump's absurd threat to "blockade" the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran already controls and has been charging $2 million per ship to allow passage, while military experts like Scott Ritter and Larry Johnson explain that any U.S. attempt to board foreign ships would be an act of war—and that U.S. naval vessels are staying 700 miles from the Iranian coast after being driven back by drone attacks.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point out that Trump will simultaneously beg for a ceasefire and threaten to bomb Iran again, all while admitting gas prices "could be a little bit higher" before the midterms — an admisstion that stunned even Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.  Ritter notes that the U.S. has already lost the war, that Iran holds all the cards, and that any new escalation would trigger Iran to destroy Gulf energy infrastructure, collapse the global economy, and end modern civilization in the region. Jimmy concludes that Trump is completely controlled by Netanyahu, who needs the war to continue to avoid prison and secure reelection in Israel. Plus segments on Trump's hostile response to Pope Leo, negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner's divided loyalties and the impending demise of NATO. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Col. Douglas Macgregor and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from JD Vance!

──────────────────────────────────────── [00:03:36] Philippines Declares National Emergency — Fuel Supplies Measured in Days, Not Months The Philippines has declared a national state of emergency due to war-related supply chain disruptions. Jet fuel reserves are down to 38 days, LPG to 23 days, with the IEA confirming the current disruption already exceeds the combined supply losses of both 1970s oil shocks. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:09:25] US Only Has Two Months of Rare Earths Left — Trump Cut the Supply Chain Before Securing a Domestic Source China's rare earth embargo following Trump's tariff war has left the US with approximately two months of the materials needed to manufacture precision guided weapons — the same weapons being consumed at record rates in the Iran campaign — with no domestic replacement source established. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:14:24] The Real Strategic Goal: US Control of All Major Oil Export Resources Outside Russia Analysis presented argues that the war's actual objective is to use Iran's destruction of Gulf State infrastructure as a pretext for the US to seize control of Middle Eastern oil resources — giving Washington the power to turn energy on or off for any country that resists its economic agenda. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:18:13] Bank of America Warns European Gas Could Jump 17-Fold — Mortgage-Sized Monthly Energy Bills Ahead Bank of America has warned that European natural gas prices could surge from 29 euros to as high as 500 euros this winter — a 17-fold increase — which would produce monthly energy bills potentially exceeding mortgage payments and trigger a full economic emergency across Europe and large parts of Asia. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:22:05] NASDAQ and NYSE Moving to Tokenize the Entire $126 Trillion Equity Market on Blockchain Wall Street's two largest exchanges are partnering with crypto platforms to tokenize the entire US equity market, with analysts warning this adds another layer of abstraction between investors and actual ownership — and that in a crisis, token holders would be last in line behind brokers and the Depository Trust Company. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:37:38] US Treasury Officially Declared the United States Insolvent — Media Missed It A Forbes headline reports that the US Treasury's own numbers amount to an official declaration of insolvency, with real debt estimated at $143 trillion rather than the reported $38–39 trillion when unfunded liabilities like Social Security are included. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:01:49] Trump Reversed on FISA 702 — Now Pushing Warrantless Surveillance He Campaigned Against Trump, who called for abolishing FISA Section 702 warrantless surveillance during his 2024 campaign, is now pushing to extend it — described as part of a broader pattern of paving the way for a police state, AI-driven technocracy, and permanent emergency powers under war conditions. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:20:00] Trump's FDA Chief Seamlessly Moved to Pfizer Board While Simultaneously on DoD Biodefense Contractor Board Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who approved COVID interventions under Trump, transitioned directly to Pfizer's board while simultaneously sitting on the board of a DoD-subsidized biomanufacturing firm — cited as the structural model now being replicated with glyphosate immunity and AI deregulation. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:23:04] Joe Kent's Resignation Torches the Bridge — FBI Investigation, Graham Calls Him a Traitor Joe Kent resigned from the National Counterterrorism Center directorship amid a firestorm, with Lindsey Graham and Laura Loomer immediately branding him an anti-Semite and traitor.

Scott Ritter : Could US Officials Face War Crime Charges?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched an illegal attack on Iran that has ignited the Gulf Region and sent ripples throughout the world. Clearing the FOG speaks with military analyst Scott Ritter who argues that the US and Israel lost the war on the first day by targeting Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and by throwing the rules of engagement out the window, as evidenced by the double bombing of a girl's school in Minab. Ritter explains that Pete Hegseth and others are guilty of war crimes. He describes the region as being at an existential crossroads that could weaken Israel and strengthen Iran in the end. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

Jimmy and former weapons inspector and geopolitical analyst Scott Ritter break down the stunning geopolitical shift underway that finds a desperate Donald Trump, facing strategic defeat in Iran, lifting all sanctions on Russian oil and begging Russian president Vladimir Putin for help—with Kremlin economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev now meeting U.S. negotiator Steve Witkoff in Miami to broker the bargain.  Ritter tells Jimmy that Russia holds all the cards: with the Strait of Hormuz closed, global energy markets are collapsing, and only Russia can supply oil to Asia and Europe, solving its economic problems overnight while the U.S. runs out of missiles and faces economic catastrophe.  The potential deal would see America withdraw from the Middle East, lift sanctions on Iran, and constrain Israel—allowing Trump to claim "peacemaker" cover for a humiliating retreat. Ritter concludes this is 100% happening because the U.S. has no other option, and the only question is whether Israel can be stopped from destroying regional energy infrastructure entirely.

During a recent broadcast, former MAGA stalwarts Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes expressed a sense of betrayal over Donald Trump's response to the Epstein files and his foreign policy, particularly claiming Trump is an "errand boy for Israel" and that he has abandoned his America First mandate. Jimmy is highly critical of Fuentes, accusing him of being disingenuous while Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger suggests his sudden anti-Trump stance is a calculated "scam" or dialectic operation to funnel frustrated supporters back to the Democratic Party.  Jimmy says that Fuentes' solution—voting for Democrats—is absurd given the Dems' record on wars and censorship, and he dismisses the duo's outrage as a performative credibility play. Ultimately, the entire exchange is framed as manufactured and designed to manipulate and dissipate genuine populist anger. Plus segments on former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's threat to take out Turkey next, TPUSA being caught lying about Charlie Kirk's position on an Iran war and the global economic impact of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers. Also featuring Scott Ritter, Max Blumenthal and Stef Zamorano!

Jimmy Dore and The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal respond to Steve Bannon's claim that Trump has rejected a large-scale bombing campaign on Iran and that the Iranian government is supposedly on the verge of collapse. Max argues that the opposite is true, saying sanctions have failed to topple the state, pro-government rallies are massive, and a U.S. or Israeli attack would likely unify the population around the government.  Max warns that Israel and hawkish U.S. politicians like Lindsey Graham are still pressuring Trump to escalate and draw the U.S. into a long regional war, and could succeed in those efforts. The two conclude by pointing out that regime-change fantasies ignore Iran's history, political base, and the catastrophic outcomes of similar interventions in Iraq and Syria. Plus segments on Lindsey Graham's sadness over the lack of bombing of Iran, Trump critic Scott Ritter being debanked and an unhinged BBC talking head's theory about Iran controlling Trump.
