CJ Killmer of the Dangerous History Podcast is back after a brutal few months, and we walk through where the United States actually stands two and a half months into the war with Iran.The blockade is theater. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. Every justification the administration has given has shifted, and every objective they set is unreachable. Trump is in Beijing this week asking Xi for help on a war he says he doesn't need help with.CJ takes us back to 1948 and walks the full history of the Israel lobby's grip on American foreign policy. Truman's reelection calculation. Eisenhower at Suez. Kennedy on Israeli nukes. Reagan's one and only pushback. Carter's Camp David walkback. Why Netanyahu's time preference is shorter than Trump's term.We get into the Massie primary, the Tucker apology, the Charlie Kirk void, the campaign promises Trump has run against, and why the midterms are going to cream Republicans.Subscribe for new episodes weekly.
