Episode notes
Nuclear Monopoly
- The US debate over Iran's nuclear program is about Israel maintaining regional nuclear monopoly, not just nuclear non-proliferation.
- This is why the US cannot justify Israel having nuclear weapons while Iran cannot.
Misguided Advice
- In April 2022, Col. Macgregor advised Trump against supporting Ukraine, predicting Russia would win.
- Trump's advisors wrongly believed Ukraine was winning, highlighting the influence of advisors over Trump's instincts.
Ending the Ukraine War
- Trump, as NATO's effective leader, can end the Ukraine war by ceasing support.
- This would remove Zelensky from power and destabilize his corrupt regime, which is why Zelensky is so invested.
