This breaking-news episode of the Eyes on Geopolitics segment tackles a viral Tucker Carlson tweet claiming the Trump administration may be days from launching a tactical nuclear strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain facility under pressure from Netanyahu. Former special operations officers Andy Milburn and Jon Hackett systematically dismantle the plausibility of the claim, explaining why tactical nuclear weapons are ill-suited to destroying deeply buried enrichment sites, while also exploring whether the leak was a deliberate signal to Tehran amid Doha negotiations and upcoming midterm elections.
In this episode of Eyes on Geopolitics, host Dee and his panel — former CIA officer Marc P, former Joint Chiefs strategist Jon Hackett, and retired Special Forces officer Andy Milburn — dissect the Trump administration's contradictory Ukraine policy, from a delayed $2.1 billion Patriot missile sale to the pressure campaign against Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil, then turn to Aaron McLean's five courses of action for a renewed war with Iran, the doomsday-prepping hysteria, Brent crude pricing, Poland's constitutional crisis, and midterm predictions.
Jack Murphy interviews Alex Dekker, a retired Green Beret who served in 5th Special Forces Group and later spent roughly a decade in a compartmentalized special operations unit, about his path from Army brat to combat diver to 18F intelligence sergeant, his ambush wounds in Afghanistan, the early fight against ISIS, and how a bout of forced dwell-time boredom produced his debut novel 'Desert Heist,' now out from Emily Bestler Books.
In a live, free-flowing episode of Eyes on Geopolitics, hosts Jon Hackett and Jack work through Israel's deadlocked election and its coalition math, the Kushner-era foreign policy apparatus, the hollowing out of US counterintelligence, the Iranian-linked sabotage network arrested around RAF Fairford in the UK, and a New York Times piece on the special ops podcast space and whether the 'we never took the gloves off' reading of the forever wars holds up. The episode closes with updates on their own writing projects, including Jon's forthcoming book 'American Insurgent.'
Former Delta Force commander Pete Blaber joins The Team House to discuss his career from Ranger Battalion through Delta, his Colombia and Bosnia manhunting tours, and his new book 'Common Sense Leadership Matters: Toxic Leadership Destroys,' which presents his own investigation into the friendly-fire death of Pat Tillman and argues that toxic leadership and a broken command-and-control system — not the Rangers on the ground — set the conditions for the tragedy.
A major escalation looms in the Middle East as the U.S. and Israel prepare potential strikes on Iran, prompting regional evacuations, military buildup, and fears of a prolonged conflict. Simultaneously, Ukraine faces a crisis as U.S. policy shifts and private tech power—specifically SpaceX’s Starlink—undermine its war effort against Russia, which continues grinding off massive casualties while resisting diplomatic pressure.
In a gripping episode of The Team House, Jack Murphy interviews Stephen Wolk, a survivor of the 1968 USS Pueblo incident, in which the U.S. Navy intelligence ship was captured by North Korea. Wolk recounts his harrowing 11-month ordeal as a prisoner of war, including torture, inadequate medical care, and psychological resistance, while shedding light on a largely forgotten chapter of Cold War history.
John Kiriakou, a former CIA officer, recounts his journey from analyst to case officer, his pivotal role in counterterrorism operations in Greece and Pakistan, his whistleblowing on the CIA's torture program, and the personal and professional consequences that followed, including a 23-month prison sentence. He reflects on systemic issues within the intelligence community, the politicization of intelligence, the moral failures of U.S. interrogation policy, and the need for reform in both national security practices and the criminal justice system, while also exploring the paradox of truth-telling in an era of propaganda and institutional distrust.
