Conversations on Groong - June 28, 2025In this episode of Conversations on Groong, retired Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski joins us to unpack the so-called “12-Day War” between Israel and Iran, and the troubling ways in which Donald Trump has redefined his “America First” doctrine to justify U.S. involvement. We examine Trump’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and the muted response from MAGA influencers. The conversation also explores Israel’s goals, the regional fallout, the near-total silence from Congress, and what this moment says about the erosion of anti-war sentiment in America.Topics:<ul><li>Israel’s War on Iran</li><li>Where did Trump’s America 1st Go?</li></ul>Guest: <a href='https://podcasts.groong.org/guest/kkwiatkowski'>Karen Kwiatkowski</a>Hosts:<ul><li><a href='https://podcasts.groong.org/host/hovik'>Hovik Manucharyan</a></li><li><a href='https://podcasts.groong.org/host/asbed'>Asbed Bedrossian</a></li></ul>Episode 450 | Recorded: Jun 26, 2025 SHOW NOTES: <a href='https://podcasts.groong.org/450'>https://podcasts.groong.org/450</a>VIDEO: <a href='https://youtu.be/mk9DqOxG-i8'>https://youtu.be/mk9DqOxG-i8</a>#iranwar #iran #israel #usa #maga #netanyahu Subscribe and follow us everywhere you are: <a href='https://linktr.ee/groong'>linktr.ee/groong</a>

Karen Kwiatkowski - War on Iran, Where did Trump’s America 1st Go | Ep 450, Jun 28, 2025

Weekly review of Armenian News from https://groong.org. Keeping up with news related to Armenia and Armenians can be challenging; the sheer volume of news in the past few years has increased greatly, and the rise of the “Fake News” phenomenon contributing to the erosion of trust in the news media. The diversity of languages used by the worldwide Armenian community also poses a challenge for Armenian news; there is a significant portion of news that originates in Armenian, sometimes in Russian, and does not get adequately translated into English, or Western Armenian, for those in the Diaspora who are not proficient in Eastern Armenian. Finally, with the COVID-19 pandemic and the political turbulence in countries where significant communities of the Armenian Diaspora reside, be it Syria, Lebanon, the United States, etc., many of our friends and colleagues indicate that they’re simply overloaded with information and lack the time and energy to separate the good from the bad. So we’re creating this weekly digest of news and analysis that we find relevant to share with our friends and the wider ANN/Groong audience. Our goal is to provide a brief overview of the main headlines of the past week, and then cover a smaller set of the more important developments, curated by ANN/Groong editors and contributors who spend an inordinate amount of time daily to process Armenian news. We hope that over time this podcast will help our listeners in becoming more astute consumers of Armenian news. We will strive to provide a rich set of notes with each installation, with links to the most relevant articles and information as a starting point for your further investigation.
