Podcasts about us war

You may have heard that the US government recruited Nazi scientists to work for NASA, but did you know they also recruited them to experiment on US soldiers? Their recruitment was part of Operation Paperclip, and the scientists were only a fraction of this program. It also recruited Nazi SS spies and unleashed them into the Cold War, installed Nazi generals into top positions in West Germany and NATO, and helped Nazi war criminals flee prosecution. And this story goes even deeper, all the way to the initial rise of Nazi Germany, directly challenging the dominant US narrative about its history.We've compiled it all into an immersive, 1 hour and 20 minute podcast that explores the many facets of this scandal and how they are connected. We've combed through tens of hours of oral testimony to bring the story to life with shocking first-hand accounts. This is part of our new podcast series: ‘Socialist History,' which uncovers the real story of US imperialism through a socialist lens, told from the perspective of the people who fought back. In this first season each episode unpacks a different Pentagon or CIA operation. This is a preview, get the full episode at https://www.patreon.com/collection/2243748

It's sad to say but wars create opportunities to apply new technologies in novel ways as the combatants seek to gain advantage over each other. The US-Israeli War on Iran is a case in point. If you've been monitoring the public airwaves about the war, you'll have picked up hints about the role that digital innovations are playing in the crisis. These signals in and of themselves are almost always overshadowed by the big kinetic actions, such as bombings and destruction. Collect them together, project them forward, and they reveal how the world will likely be different when the hostilities abate. In this podcast I share several insights that I believe have significant bearing on the future of oil and gas infrastructure, not just in the Gulf area but globally wherever there is the potential for conflict. ⚒️ Additional Tools & Resources

Just over the last 24 hours, Trump announced that he is levying new 25% tariffs on Brazilian goods. This is supposed to combat supposed quote "UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES” by Brazil. In reality, Trump is rolling out these tariffs out in defense of his personal interests and those of his allies. That includes powerful US credit card companies. And as I look at in depth in this episode… Silicon Valley tech billionaires and their far right allies. There is one other important thing at stake in Brazil right now: the upcoming presidential elections in October. President Lula is running for reelection. The Bolsonaro family is trying to take the presidency back. Trump has already said that he sees this as his next big challenge. This episode is a joint collaboration together with my podcasts Brazil on Fire, Under the Shadow and the Battle for Free Speech. The Battle for Free Speech is my latest. It's an 8-part investigative narrative podcast series. I've been working on it for the last year. It looks at the attacks on free speech today from the Trump administration. But also how people are standing up and pushing back. This is episode 6 of that podcast. If you like what you hear, please consider subscribing and listening, wherever you get your podcasts. OK. I hope you enjoy the show… This is really a tale of two countries: the United States and Brazil. In both countries, far-right presidents come to power — Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro. In both those countries, the presidents spent several years unraveling democratic institutions and public policy. Both presidents then ran for reelection. Both presidents lied about their country's voting systems in order to undermine the elections and whip up their base. Both those presidents lost their reelections — Trump in 2020. Bolsonaro in 2022. They both claimed fraud and tried to carry out a coup to stay in power. But that is where these two paths diverged. In the United States, President Donald Trump continued to peddle his lies about the elections. He created his own social media platform and he used it to push his agenda. He was reelected in 2024 and returned to power. In Brazil, however, the country's Supreme Electoral Court blocked former President Jair Bolsonaro from running for office for eight years, because of the lies he told about the country's electoral system.It wasn't censorship. it was a different interpretation of free speech. One that said the right to free expression must be balanced with the other rights in the country and the country's democratic system. The United States doesn't agree. And the Trump administration has been pushing to bend Brazil toward its definition of "free speech."In this episode, Michael Fox journeys to Brazil to understand the lengths that the country has gone to fight disinformation. Michael is joined in the episode by Maximillian Alvarez, editor-in-chief and co-executive director of The Real News Network and the host of the Working People Podcast.The Battle for Free Speech is a production of The Real News Network.Hosted by Michael Fox and Marc Steiner. Theme music by Michael Fox, Jordan Klein and Daniel Nuñez. Other music from Blue Dot Sessions and Epidemic Sound. Production and Sound Design by Michael Fox and Stephen Frank. Editorial support by Kayla Rivara. Research by Ben Schweiger.Guests: Fabio de Sa e SilvaArtur RomeuFernando PaulinoBrian MierResources: Follow The Battle For Free Speech on Spotify or Apple PodcastsSupport Michael Fox's reporting at patreon.com/mfoxNever miss an episode — sign up for The Real News newsletter at therealnews.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/brazil-on-fire--5630445/support.

In this edition of The World According to Irina Tsukerman, the bi-weekly geopolitical series on The KAJ Masterclass LIVE, host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) examines a dramatic escalation in the Iran-US war with Irina Tsukerman, a US-based national security and human rights lawyer, renowned geopolitical analyst, and Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Outsider. Together, they explore Iran's ballistic missile and drone strikes on US-linked targets in Kuwait and Bahrain, the US retaliation on Qeshm Island, the resulting spike in oil prices, and the broader strategic implications—including Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodríguez arriving in New Delhi for talks with PM Modi, as India seeks to diversify energy supplies amid the Hormuz crisis.

Abby Martin joins MintPress News founder Mnar Adley for a sweeping conversationabout the dystopian merger of AI, the U.S. war machine, and the Israeli military.From her groundbreaking new film "Cuba After Castro" — featuring the firstsit-down interview with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel by an Americanjournalist — to the explosive growth of AI data centers being built in Americancommunities, Abby breaks down how tech billionaires have folded into the Trumpadministration and are openly profiting off genocide, surveillance, and war.They discuss:- Trump's escalating sanctions on Cuba and the push for regime change- How AI is being weaponized in the Gaza genocide and U.S. strikes on Iran- Jared Kushner & Miriam Adelson's grip on U.S. foreign policy- The Thomas Massie primary and the death of American democracy- Iran's strategic closure of the Strait of Hormuz- Why independent media is more critical now than ever beforeAbby also shares an inspiring call to action: "It just takes 5%.

In this edition of The World According to Irina Tsukerman, the bi-weekly geopolitical series on The KAJ Masterclass LIVE, host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) examines whether Trump's pause of Project Freedom actually ends the Iran-US war with Irina Tsukerman, a US-based national security and human rights lawyer, renowned geopolitical analyst, and Editor-in-Chief of The Washington Outsider. Together, they explore Pakistan's new land routes into Iran bypassing sanctions, the third assassination attempt against Trump, and what new auto tariffs, shifting European defense, and Israel-Lebanon negotiations mean for the broader balance of power.

Iran is threatening "long and painful strikes" on US regional positions if the United States conducts any new attacks on their soil. As a deadline fast approaches for US President Donald Trump to make the case for Congress to extend the war, there are questions around the future of a nearly month-long ceasefire. This uncertainty also felt around the world as the crucial global shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz, remains an epicentre for the war's stalemate.

Shownotes The forever costs of America's war on Iran could disfigure economic life for generations to come, around the world and in the United States. In an earlier era, war spending helped pull the United States out of the Great Depression by pulling unemployed farmers into the cities and retraining them for manufacturing. Even through the Cold War, many Americans viewed war spending as a major driver of high-quality manufacturing jobs and consumer well-being. The war economy since 9/11 has been different. The wars themselves drive antidemocratic currents and undermine well-being even for people, like most Americans, who are far from the battlefields. These wars also undermine economic life in less obvious ways, like incentivizing endless private sector investment in defense rather than more productive industries. Eamon Kircher-Allen joins Order from Ashes to explain the profound distortions of the modern American war economy. Inflation and a possible recession are only the most immediate economic costs of the Iran war. As the forever wars after 9/11 proved, runaway war spending disfigures every aspect of the economy. The true long-term costs of this war will be much higher than the price of military operations.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BwJSoGnSfc&t=26s Premiered on 8 Apr 2026 A month of illegal US war on Iran: What have we learned? Joti Brar • A month of illegal US war on Iran: What ha... Joti Brar sums up the US imperialists' war on Iran, which has now been raging for a full month. 1. USA's war is illegal aggressive and unjust 2. The criminality and barbarity is unsurpassed, and the crass boasting of trump about murdering the grandfather of the revolution, and leader of the Shia faith, Ali Hosseini Khamenei (19 April 1939 – 28 February 2026) along with his family and baby grand-daughter as well as other other assassinations and strikes on civilian targets, show the depth of US depravity. 3. The US plan was decapitation, regime change, balkanisation, domination and occupation with looting of Iran's resources guaranteeing the ongoing looting of the entire Middle East. 4. This was a total failure. And there is no plan B. The stated objectives change and it can have escaped no-one that the aim if “opening the strait of Hormuz” could not possibly have been an objective of the war at the outset. As at the outset, the straight of Hormuz was already open! 5. Trump is now simply adding atrocity to atrocity. This is a sign of his and the USA's desperation and failure. 6. Minab was a deliberate atrocity aimed to break the spirit if the IRGC and the nation. It had the opposite effect. It is a war crime for which the US in defeat will be held accountable. 7. The Labour government and Party is fully involved and fully complicit in this criminal war. There is no such thing as a defensive participation in an aggressive war. Starmer as a “lawyer” knows this better than anyone. His weasel words fool only the credulous, misguided by the mainstream media. 8. Our trade union and anti-war movement have singularly failed in their duty to stop the war. A feat that IS within the power of the British working class. 9. Sharon Graham, general secretary of Unite the Union, has led a protest at Downing Street - demanding MORE weapons manufacture - and therefore SUPPORTING the war! This is the OPPOSITE of the role a real working class union and anti-war movement should be playing. We must discard such “leaders” and expose them as clowns and agents. 10. The only correct slogans to take to the anti-war movement and wider working class are: “Victory to Iran!” and “No cooperation with the war machine!” Subscribe! Donate!

The afternoon episode of the Rush Hour podcast dives into the latest chaos unfolding in the escalating U.S.–Iran conflict, as tensions hit a terrifying new level. After overnight U.S. strikes on key Iranian military targets, Iran has gone radio silent—refusing to engage in negotiations and effectively ghosting the United States amid mounting threats and global pressure. Donald Trump has issued a chilling ultimatum, warning of total destruction and even hinting at nuclear escalation if Iran does not comply with U.S. demands. His rhetoric has grown increasingly extreme, with talk of wiping out infrastructure and forcing regime change, sending shockwaves through both allies and critics alike. Meanwhile, Iran is digging in. Officials are rejecting diplomacy under threat, signaling they will not come to the table while under military pressure, and promising retaliation if attacks continue. Behind the scenes, global leaders scramble to prevent full-scale catastrophe, while reports surface of internal panic within U.S. military leadership over the legality—and consequences—of Trump's threats. We break down everything: the latest strikes, the failed backchannel talks, the eerie silence from Iran, and what this all means for the future of the conflict. Is this a standoff… or are we on the brink of something far worse?

As diesel prices cross $8/gal. in parts of California, more and more Americans are shopping for EVs and hybrids, and that's driving record sales of electrified vehicles for brands like Toyota and Hyundai. It's also brought the ability to generate your own "electric fuel" with a home solar panel system back into the limelight, whether you qualify for a tax credit or not!

In Episode 471 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Gregg Carlstrom — Middle East correspondent for The Economist, based in Dubai and Riyadh, and a veteran reporter covering the region for fifteen years — about the mood across the Gulf States since the US and Israeli military campaign against Iran began on February 28th, and what the conflict's trajectory reveals about the widening gap between operational success and strategic victory. The conversation opens with an assessment of shifting opinion inside Saudi Arabia and across the Gulf — from early opposition to the war to hawkish demands in some quarters that the United States, having opened Pandora's box, now finish what it started. Carlstrom and Kofinas examine the human and material toll the conflict has taken so far, the extent and internal logic of Iranian restraint in targeting Gulf infrastructure, and the implications of Iran's decentralized Mosaic Defense Doctrine for command and control and efforts at de-escalation. The conversation then turns to the growing gap between the operational success of US and Israeli airstrikes and the larger strategic picture — including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and its consequences for global oil and LNG markets — before examining the divergent strategic objectives of Washington and Tel Aviv, the nuclear question as it applies to both Israel and the United States, the opaque power struggles within what remains of the Iranian regime, and what a near-term resolution — or further escalation — might look like.

Why is the USA waging war on Iran? It's not just because of Israel. Washington wants to control the oil of the Middle East (West Asia) to maintain the petrodollar system.

https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260306.mp3 Right-click here to download this episode (“Save link as…”). Column (3/4/26) This week on CounterSpin: As a radio producer, you get pitches; to paraphrase one we got this week: Dear Janine, the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iranian military targets and leaders this weekend. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei was killed, as were key Iranian leaders.  President Trump is urging Iranians to rise up and overthrow the regime…. What will the impact be on the economy? On Wall Street?  What does this mean for markets and investors going forward? We were then offered a guest who will tell listeners that “concerns about the attacks causing economic chaos are overblown…. The markets will panic initially and then stabilize.” And, most importantly, “this ends the uncertainty that was impacting the markets over Iran…. If American and Israeli objectives are met, it could lead to dramatically reduced gas prices long-term.” No mention of parents in Minab, who dropped their daughters off at school March 3 and now have to bury them. What's losing a child when we’re talking about you maybe—or maybe not—paying less at the pump, amirite? It would be one thing if it were a guy at the end of the bar, but we have official “smart people” news media instructing us on how we should think and feel about attacks—paid for with our sometimes important “tax dollars”—raining horror on Iranians whose crime is that they didn't overthrow their disapproved leadership. Ask yourself if you want that to be the criterion for violent aggression around the world. It's hard to parse US corporate news coverage of the attacks on Iran if you aren't willing to let go of the idea that might does not, in fact, make right—along with your ideas about what a better world could look like. That's why we grow our critical faculties, and support media outlets that, whatever else they do, don't tell us that the US and Israel killing Iranian children is just something to consume with your breakfast cereal. Gregory Shupak is an academic and activist, as well as author of The Wrong Story: Palestine, Israel and the Media from OR Books. We talk with him about the US war on Iran this week on CounterSpin. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260306Shupak.mp3
