Show Notes

  • Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down a quarter-billion-dollar American drone on Thursday, the latest in a series of attacks and provocations against America and Western interests—including rocket attacks on American bases and oil infrastructure in Iraq, and Houthi drone strikes against Saudi Arabia.
  • Meanwhile, Iran is denying that it is behind some of the attacks, and Europe says it isn’t sure whether to believe Iran or America—remarkable evidence of its hardening attitude toward the U.S.
  • Cash-strapped Venezuela has opened its doors to more funding from Iran-funded Hezbollah, and Russia is sailing its most modern warship in the Caribbean Sea—troubling developments in America’s backyard.
  • We also talk about Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to North Korea, a new European fighter jet program, and U.S. lawmakers trying to address the problem of Internet censorship.
