In this episode, we break down the rapidly escalating geopolitical tensions across the globe. We start with Russia's retaliation using the new "Oreshnik" hypersonic missile and what message this sends to the West regarding deterrence.

We also dive into the controversial US seizure of a Russian-flagged tanker—is this the start of a war on the high seas? We analyze the potential fallout of Trump’s operations in Venezuela and the coordinated social media push regarding protests in Iran. Finally, we discuss the shocking domestic incident involving the shooting of Renee Goode by an ICE agent and what the partisan reaction says about the state of American empathy.
