Is the West sleepwalking into a catastrophic escalation?
In this episode, Charlie and Peter Erickson dive deep into the rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape. With Iran warning that the UK is now a direct party to the conflict by allowing its airbase in Fairford to be used for US military operations against Iran, the threat of a retaliatory strike has never been more real.
But there’s a bigger player in the background. Is Russia itching to get back at the UK? We discuss the very real possibility of Russia using Iran and the Houthis as proxies to strike NATO assets—allowing Moscow to bypass a direct confrontation while letting Iran take the “moral high ground” in the eyes of the global majority.
Finally, we address the chilling reality facing Western citizens: Do we actually live in a democracy, or is the political system just an illusion designed to keep us controlled? From the deep state’s manipulation of Donald Trump to our gradual slide into an authoritarian future, we ask the hard question: How do we fight back?
