  • Getting progressively more bias

    This started off really well but now is incredibly bias against the USA & Israel. I am not Trump’s greatest fan, but I am fairly sure that balance of power lies in America’s gift.

    Iran’s economy is on the brink of collapse but you’d never understand this from the commentary on this show.

    Most of the guests seem to be pro Iran, now.

    The guy tonight seems to have zero qualifications to speak about this subject, but has a strong hatred towards America.

    The combination of these two entities, mak... more

  • They could be journalists-but mostly propaganda

    The telegraph has a lot of resources, and the potential to be a truly great journalistic product. Unfortunately, you only have to listen for about 30 seconds to detect the extreme pro-totalitarian anti-democracy nature of their coverage.

    These are leftists who find little to no fault with the anti-democratic forces of the world, and focus all of their biased propaganda-like reporting on attacking the United States and other democracies.

    A well done podcast until they dip into editorial opinion.

  • Ok, different perspectives.

    Generally good but we gotta moderate some of these people. The woman on 19 Aug who gave 10 minutes of disclaimers of how she couldn’t speak for all 90 million Iranians. Just shut up and answer the question. Why tolerate such bloviated responses?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump vows ‘mini Operation Epic Fury’ as Iran plots to kill Americans
Q: Do you think the American presence will return to what it was before this war, or do you think some of these changes will become more permanent?
Bruchmann expects major changes, including possible relocation of US forces and a greater emphasis on Gulf defense industries, alliances and unmanned military technology.
Trump vows ‘mini Operation Epic Fury’ as Iran plots to kill Americans
Q: When does it make sense from a military perspective to delay military action based upon elections?
Oliphant says military readiness should be assessed by capabilities and targets, but political leaders may delay action to limit effects on voters, news coverage and oil prices.
Netanyahu ‘pushed Trump for Iran strikes’ to delay first wartime Israeli election
Q: If Benjamin Netanyahu stays as Prime Minister, do you think he will go back to war with Iran?
Citrinowicz says renewed conflict is likely whether Netanyahu wins or loses. He argues that Netanyahu may use Iran as a political tool and that a loss could lead him to push for a unity government by invoking an emergency.
Netanyahu ‘pushed Trump for Iran strikes’ to delay first wartime Israeli election
Q: How could the outcome of this election actually affect or change Israeli foreign policy?
Citrinowicz expects limited change in stated positions on regional issues, but says a new government could restore a more substantive decision-making process and be less likely to rush into another war with Iran.
Trump backs Bibi as Israel readies for new Iran strikes
Q: What do you think is the timeline for when the conflict will re-erupt? Is Israel going to wait for America to get its ducks in a row, or could it go ahead alone?
Both correspondents expect Israel to wait for Trump rather than act alone, while saying renewed military action appears likely and could be limited and targeted. Trump may delay a decision until after the US midterms.
