We break down the fallout from the Munich Security Conference, the growing strain between the U.S. and Europe, and what it means for NATO’s future. We also dive into the Iran talks and the U.S. military buildup in the region, asking whether diplomacy still has a chance or if conflict is becoming inevitable.

We break down the Havana Syndrome scandal with CIA veterans Marc Polymeropoulos and “Adam,” two of the earliest victims of the mysterious attacks that left U.S. personnel with traumatic brain injuries. We dig into the science behind directed energy weapons, the CIA’s internal response, the NIH and Walter Reed controversy, and why multiple administrations may have failed — or covered up — the truth.

We break down the U.S.–Iran negotiations and why the goalposts keep moving from nukes to missiles to proxy forces. With Israel, Turkey, and U.S. military power all in play, we dig into whether this is real diplomacy—or a setup for the next Middle East war.
