Episode notes
Distractions As A Political Strategy
- The Trump regime is deliberately manufacturing distractions to hide scandals and foreign deals.
- These diversions shift media and public attention away from Epstein files, Ukraine, and corrupt financial dealings.

- Trump’s Venezuela oil deal routes funds to a Qatar bank account tied to his allies.
- That flow suggests personal enrichment and conflicts, not U.S. Treasury benefit or oversight.

- Consider how deterrence moves against one threat weaken responses to others like Russia or Ukraine.
