In today's episode, we analyze the expanding economic and logistical fallout of the Middle East conflict as a drone strike disrupts Dubai International Airport and President Trump pressures allies to form a naval coalition in the Strait of Hormuz. We also examine the intensifying aerial warfare in Eastern Europe, where massive Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow coincide with fierce diplomatic friction over the Druzhba oil pipeline. Our deep dives explore the comparative media framing of the reluctance among US allies to commit warships to the Gulf, and the strategic narratives surrounding Europe's contradictory energy policies. Plus, a look at an Australian data scientist who used AI to create a custom cancer vaccine for his dog, and the discovery of a massive T-Rex ancestor.
