Are we sleepwalking into a major global conflict? In this episode, we discuss the alarming momentum toward a war with Iran, spurred by US naval movements and potential intelligence support from China and Russia. We analyze why the Gerald R. Ford carrier is steaming toward the Middle East, the terrifying accuracy of Iran's missile capabilities, and the "Samson Option."

We also dig into the dark political undercurrents, asking if the release of the Epstein files and Israeli leverage are forcing the Trump administration's hand. Finally, we look at the state of the Ukraine war and why the West seems to have no reverse gear despite looming disaster.
