Today on Mea Culpa, I am joined by Malcolm Nance, a retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief, New York Times bestselling author, and expert on terrorism, extremism, and insurgency. We discuss global and domestic political issues, with a focus on Middle East conflicts and U.S. foreign policy. Nance explains Iran's long-term strategy to become a regional superpower and its use of proxies to influence Israel and Saudi Arabia. We also critique Trump’s isolationist stance, warning that it could weaken U.S. democracy and global alliances like NATO. Nance emphasizes the need for full support of Ukraine in its fight against Russia and warns of potential domestic insurgency if Trump regains power.
