Guarding Borders and Global Conflicts

This chapter explores the deployment of California National Guard troops in Los Angeles amid debates over immigration enforcement and tensions between state and federal authority. It delves into the impact of a federal court ruling on the National Guard's role and raises concerns about the Trump administration's accelerated ICE operations. The discussion then transitions to escalating U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict, evaluating military strategies and the implications of Iran's nuclear facilities on regional stability.
