Are we watching the collapse of the US Military Industrial Complex in real-time? In this episode, we break down the Trump administration's panic over the Strait of Hormuz, warnings of $200-a-barrel oil, and the catastrophic economic fallout of a wider Middle East war. We also discuss the shocking reality of an F-35 being hit by Iranian air defense, Netanyahu’s push for US boots on the ground, and what this all means for the future of the US dollar and global hyperinflation. Plus, why Europe continues to double down on energy suicide.
