The Kyle Anzalone Show guest Larry Johnson: Is Trump Done With Zelensky?
If you feel like the headlines about Ukraine, Russia, and “energy deals” never add up, you’re not imagining it. We sit down with Larry Johnson to separate political theater from the underlying mechanics that actually move wars and markets and to ask why so many public claims collapse the moment you put real numbers next to them.
We start with Trump’s escalating pressure on Zelensky and the idea t
The Kyle Anzalone Show guest Nolan Denaro | Are We Becoming What We Condemn?
A single debate clip can reveal an entire foreign policy reality: we demand ritual condemnation of October 7, then treat any mention of Gaza’s devastation as taboo. Kyle is joined by Nolan Denaro to unpack a heated Michigan campaign exchange and the bigger story behind it, including how U.S. politicians lean on inflated or debunked claims when they need moral cover for ongoing violence. We keep th
The Kyle Anzalone Show guest Lt. Col. KAREN KWIATKOWSKI: Will Iran Build a NUCLEAR WEAPON?!
A promise not to attack Iran before the US midterm elections sounds calming until you ask the uncomfortable question: who benefits from the world believing it? We sit down with Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski to sort through the noise, the incentives, and the real risk of escalation hiding behind confident social media posts and campaign season talking points.
We dig into the political crosswind
The Kyle Anzalone Show: Will Trump Sacrifice the Midterms So Netanyahu Can Win Reelection?
Something big hides inside a simple question: if the US and Israel are thinking about striking Iran, why would the timing cluster around elections? We pull apart a Reuters-style headline and treat it like a map, tracing how US midterm politics and Israel’s vote can shape escalation decisions just as much as military “readiness” can. I walk through the incentives for President Donald Trump to keep
The Kyle Anzalone Show guest ANDREW DAY: ‘Let Iran Take Them Out’
“Let them take out Los Angeles” is the kind of line that explodes online, but the real story is what comes after the clip: how an unpopular Iran war gets sold to the public, and how critics keep missing the most effective, factual attacks. Andrew Day returns to help us separate viral framing from what the president is actually arguing, and why sloppy media narratives can backfire by making Trump l
The Kyle Anzalone Show guest LARRY JOHNSON: Super Power Suicide
The fastest way to sell a war is to blame the same villain for everything, and right now that villain is Iran. We walk through Donald Trump’s comments on the alleged FlyDubai attack and the broader pattern of turning unclear events into “proof” of an Iranian terror campaign. We talk attribution, the Sunni extremist profile behind most post-2001 international terrorism, and how vague official langu

If the plan keeps
The Kyle Anzalone Show guest COL. LAWRENCE WILKERSON: After 23 Years, Is the Iraq War Finally Over?
The Iraq War has been a “still going” story for so long that it barely feels real when someone says it might finally be ending. We sit down with Col. Lawrence Wilkerson to talk through what the last American forces leaving Iraq could actually mean, not just for Baghdad, but for the bigger U.S. posture […]

The Kyle Anzalone Show guest LARRY JOHNSON: Trump’s Iran War Threat Reaches the Brink
A lot of foreign policy talk collapses into slogans until you ask one simple question: if things are going fine, why are oil prices still telling a different story?

The Kyle Anzalone Show: Showdown at the UN as the US and Iran Escalate Tensions
Trump takes the UN stage and talks about Iran the way politicians talk when they want options to expand a war without owning the cost. I walk through what he said, why it lands as bluster instead of strategy, and how that kind of rhetoric can still be dangerous when it becomes the basis for […]
Shoddy Investigative Practices
I watched the Caleb Flynn trial and was shocked by how little physical evidence there was. Although I think the jurors got it right, could innocent people be convicted?
The Kyle Anzalone Show guest Joe Terwilliger: Tensions Flare in East Asia as North Korea Tests Hypersonic Missiles!
A single phrase can change the whole global chessboard: nuclear first use. We start by reacting to speculation about a US nuclear strike in Iran and lay out why even “unlikely” decisions matter when escalation could pull in Russia, China, and every other nuclear-armed state. Deterrence is supposed to prevent war, but it also creates […]
The Kyle Anzalone Show guest BILL BUPPERT: Are the Houthis a Real Threat to Saudi Arabia and the American Empire?
Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen has dragged on for years, but one detail should stop you in your tracks: the New York Times reports Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has reached out to Donald Trump three times asking for US military help against Ansar Allah and each time Trump declines. That raises a bigger question […]

The Kyle Anzalone Show: Impeachment, Empty Arsenals and a War Without End

World War II is the one war we’re still not allowed to talk about like history, and that’s exactly why we should.

Bush says America didn’t overreact after 9/11. We don’t let that pass.

The Kyle Anzalone Show guest Matt Hoh: JD Vance and Ben Shapiro Attempt to Sell Israel’s War to the American People
The loudest voices keep insisting the U.S. is “winning” against Iran, but winning should be measurable and explainable, not just repeated until it feels true.

The Kyle Anzalone Show: America’s Iran War Is Unraveling — Is Ukraine the Next Domino?
Netanyahu doesn’t just hint at confrontation with Iran, he says the quiet part out loud: the aim is to bring the regime down.

The Kyle Anzalone Show guest ANDREW DAY: Trump’s New Iran Strategy and Warning to Putin
“Economic D-Day” might sound like a clean alternative to missiles, but economic war has its own escalation ladder.

The Kyle Anzalone Show: China Blows Up Trump’s Economic War on Iran
The Strait of Hormuz is where slogans go to die.

The Kyle Anzalone Show: Trump Declares Total Economic War Against Iran! Will It Work?

The Kyle Anzalone Show: DESTROYING The Washington Post’s War Propaganda
A US aircraft carrier packed with 5,000 sailors is not supposed to become a story about empty shelves, broken plumbing, and desperate messages to families.

Trump says the war is going great and the “bully of the Middle East” is no longer in charge.

A threat is not a strategy, and it definitely is not a negotiating position.
