Gold Goats 'n Guns Podcast

This week The Saker and I sit down for a chat about all thing Empire, what their motives are, why they act the way they do, and why they collapse. We compare and contrast the behavior of the U.S. and Russia in the post-Soviet era while looking carefully at why the U.S.'s lack of foreign policy is the biggest threat to humanity at the moment.

Former British Diplomat Alistair Crooke and I sit down for a wide-ranging chat on the loss of institutional legitimacy all across the West and the Middle East. Starting with Brexit and what it means for the U.K. and spanning the globe to include Europe, its relationship to Russia and the ideological wars being waged by various factions against Iran and China, this is an episode I don't think anyone should miss.Show Notes:Crooke:https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/02/03/israel-in-the-middle-east-a-civilisational-and-metaphysical-war/https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/01/20/many-matryoska-dolls-america-way-imagining-iran/Luongo:https://tomluongo.me/2020/01/10/after-missiles-fly-iraq-becomes-battleground/https://tomluongo.me/2020/01/19/does-gangster-economics-iraqi-desert/Support my work on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/goldgoatsngunsInstall and Use Brave to Support the Channel: https://brave.com/tom405Donations welcome via paypalTwitter: www.twitter.com/tfl1728Blog: www.tomluongo.me

Iran's move to pull out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty looks like an invitation to the U.S. to bomb them back to the stone age. But is it? Russian military strategy is predicated on creating cauldrons, encircling an over-confident enemy and cutting off their means of retreat.Is this move by Iran part of their larger gambit to get what it wants in the Middle East? Are the Neocons about to fall into the biggest geopolitical quagmire of all time? This week we explore all of these issues and what the Taliban downing an E11-a BACN Communications plane means knowing that the CIA's head of its Anti-Iran division, Mike D'angea was onboard.

With impeachment of Donald Trump the talk of the town, Hillary Clinton stepping into the spotlight with a perfectly timed fluff piece in the Hollywood Reporter and a new four-part Netflix documentary, it's clear to me the prep work has begun to save the Democrats from their Loonie Lefties and again stop Bernie Sanders.

Today I sit down with The Duran's Editorial Director Alexander Mercouris to discuss in fine, granular detail the sweeping changes proposed this week by Russian President Vladimir Putin and how this sets Russia up for the next couple of decades. This is can't miss analysis from one of the real giants in geopolitics.

Former OMB Director and publisher of Contra Corner David Stockman and I sit down for a big talk on what's really going on behind the scenes of the markets, why the equity markets keep rising and how that fits into the potential for a breakdown in Europe.Against this backdrop U.S. political insanity is pushing the world to the brink of crisis and war. And no one in power seems to see the big picture.

I sit down with the Head of the Mises Institute and Publisher of Lewrockwell.com, Lew Rockwell for a wide ranging talk about the duty of all libertarians to remind the world why we should all be anti-war and why there is always another side to the story.

The lead up to Trump's murder of General Qassem Soleimani is important to understanding the context of why it happened. The key figure is Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi and his relationship with the U.S. as it tried to dissuade him from charting a path for Iraq's independence.

President Trump's murder of Iran's Qassem Solemaini was a brazen act of near lawlessness which will continue to widen the gulf between the U.S. and every other nation on earth. This lack of humanity is a wake-up call to the world.

We close out 2019 with two pressing issues for 2020.. Will there be war with Iran and the U.S. and with Brexit effectively in the books, what does this mean for the European Union and its looming debt crisis.
