About this listen

Tonight’s International Flavor pulled no punches. We explored the idea of Israel as America’s unofficial 51st state—militarily, financially, and politically. We dissected the Trump administration’s disastrous Iran strategy, driven by neocon influence and Lindsey Graham-style hawkish delusions. Then we shifted gears to highlight China’s Belt and Road Initiative—not as a threat, but as a transformative global infrastructure project that’s reshaping trade and diplomacy. While Washington doubles down on old empires, Beijing is building roads, ports, and railways. It’s time we asked: Who’s really winning the 21st century? Spoiler—it's not who’s dropping bombs.
