On COI #426, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman cover the Empire’s latest escalations against Russia as well as the increasing tensions with Iran as Israel threatens war.

Kyle breaks down an admission by Ukrainian military intelligence that they are actively seeking to assassinate Vladimir Putin, Warsaw’s announcement that they are ready to begin training Ukraine’s pilots on flying F-16s, Boris Johnson’s trip to Texas lobbying the GOP for the Ukraine war, an attack on a Russian warship in the Bosphorus Strait, and the Fifth fleet conducting more patrols in the Persian Gulf eyeing Tehran.

Connor details a peace mission led by six African nations seeking a ceasefire in Ukraine, the Israeli military chief saying  “we have the ability to hit Iran,” the US military posting pictures of their bunker buster bombs in a threat to Iran, dozens of House Democrats recent attempt to force the Joe Biden administration to end its support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, and the White House’s continuing push for an unlikely Saudi-Israeli normalization deal.
