Chas Freeman: Trump Back Down - Armageddon Postponed? Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

Ambassador Chas Freeman discusses Trump backing down instead of carrying out his 48-hour threat of destroying Iran's energy facilities. Iran's threat to destroy the energy and desalination plants of the Gulf States appears to have deterred the US, yet armageddon has only been postponed as there is no off-ramp. Ambassador Freeman was a former Assistant Secretary of Defense, earning the highest public service awards of the Department of Defense for his roles in designing a NATO-centred post-Cold War European security system and in reestablishing defence and military relations with China. He served as U. S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (during operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm).

Seyed M. Marandi: Total War - Attacking Nuclear Plants, Desalination & Infrastructure Mar 22, 2026

Show notes

Seyed Mohammad Marandi discusses the targeting of nuclear plants, desalination plants, critical infrastructure, and the civilian population. Trump has given Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz (capitulation), otherwise the US will destroy Iran's energy facilities. Then there will be no limits on Iran's response, and the consequences will be global. The future of global stability will be decided over the next few days. Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran's Nuclear Negotiation Team.

Larry Johnson: Trump & Netanyahu Seek Exit Ramp in Iran Mar 21, 2026

Daniel Davis: U.S. Military Options & War Narrative Collapse Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

Lt. Col. Daniel Davis argues why opening the Strait of Hormuz, putting boots on the ground, or seizing Kharg Island are not feasible options. The US could invade Yemen to control the key strait to the Red Sea—Bab el-Mandeb. The resignation of Joe Kent indicates that the military options and war narratives are collapsing fast. Lt. Col. Davis is a 4x combat veteran, the recipient of the Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling, and is the host of the Daniel Davis Deep Dive YouTube channel.Daniel Davis Deep Dive: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielDavisDeepDive/videosFollow Prof. Glenn Diesen: Substack: https://glenndiesen.substack.com/ X/Twitter: https://x.com/Glenn_DiesenPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/glenndiesen Support the research by Prof. Glenn Diesen: PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/glenndiesenBuy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/gdiesengGo Fund Me: https://gofund.me/09ea012fBooks by Prof. Glenn Diesen: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B09FPQ4MDL
