In this thought-provoking debate, I sit down with John E. Herbst (former US Ambassador to Ukraine, and head of the Eurasia Center at the Atlantic Council) and political theorist + Neoreactionary godfather Curtis Yarvin to clash over the trajectory of U.S. support for Ukraine, American foreign policy, and global hegemony.
This deep-dive discussion tackles some of the most contentious geopolitical questions of our time: Is the conflict in Ukraine a vital defense of the liberal international order, or an overextension of American empire? What are the broader risks regarding Russia, China, and global security? Watch as two distinct perspectives collide over history, statecraft, and national interest.

I am joined by former US Air Force Nuclear & Missile Operations Officer Jake Broe for a thorough discussion on the threat that Russia poses to Ukraine as well as Western Civilization at large — should the rules based order decline give way to a Muli-Polarity with China and Russia gaining leverage against the US,

The tragic murder of Henry Nowak has become the ultimate case study in the collapse of Western institutional trust: the recognition of a two-tier system of justice that fails to protect the citizen, yet works with ruthless efficiency to manage the narrative of those who are non-Western being perpetual victims while the former are cast as villains.
Joined by @DiscoOrpheus and Stelios Panagiotou, we break down the mechanics of the "Anarcho-Tyranny" currently governing the UK and its implications for the broader West. Likewise, what would revolting against such a system look like, and whether the reactions to Henry Nowak will make for any change.

I am joined by Ashton Forbes, an independent researcher known for his meticulous investigation into high-altitude anomalies and his refusal to accept mainstream narratives regarding the UFO phenomenon. We are likewise joined by mathematician and amateur physicist Didier Gaulin, who provides the rigorous analytical framework necessary for the deeper exploration of the physics and mechanics under discussion.
Together, we are looking deep into the forbidden UFO tech to dismantle the established record on "breakaway" civilizations. We move beyond the standard UFO phenomenon to investigate the reality of suppressed systems—from the propulsion mechanics of anti-gravity craft to the dangerous implications of zero-point energy manipulation.
