A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar... Andrew Fox & Shana Meyerson Talk Israel

The Art of the Desperate 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Strait Up Strategy

As the stalemate in negotiations between the United States and Iran drags on, Trump has issued yet another assurance of an imminent “very good deal” on the way. But can Trump get the nuclear deal he has been promising or will he compromise on his own red lines. The IRGC is a very patient monster and there seems to be a war against the clock. With Trump telling Netanyahu to back down from Lebanon, is this the sign of a real deal ahead or just another fruitless effort to appease our enemies in Iran? In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the ongoing Iran Deal negotiations and the diplomatic quagmire we like to call the United Nations. Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast. He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major. He completed 3 tours in Afghanistan including one attached to US Army Special Forces, as well as further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland and the Middle East. He was a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, teaching in the War Studies and Behavioural Science departments. In the last year he has visited Gaza twice as well as Hezbollah tunnels in Lebanon. Andrew is a regular Middle East commentator on GB News, TalkTV and LBC radio, and has been published in The Spectator, The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, New York Post and The Tablet, amongst others.

Somaliland’s Dirty Breakup 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Horny for Independence

Somaliland, by all measures, fulfill the standards of statehood, so why has only one country, Israel, recognized them? And is UN recognition on the horizon? Unlike “Palestine,” Somaliland has defined borders, a democratic government, and a standing military. So why has the world yet to recognize them as a state? Today we learn all out Somaliland, it’s geopolitics, economy and history to better understand this potentially quite strategic African nation. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox joins A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, for a live update from Somaliland on their 35th Liberation Day.

If the Law Doesn’t Fit, Rewrite It 🪂 🤸‍♀️ How Super Is Israel's Power?

When someone says “genocide,” what is the first thing that comes to mind? If it’s Israel, it proves a point. When something is said enough times, people accept it as true. Fact is, the ICJ has not yet ruled on the genocide case against Israel in Gaza, but the world has already accepted it as fact. Despite the preponderance of evidence, the International Court of Justice is literally rewriting the legal standards in a way that will unjustly shove Israel into the genocide box. And the repercussions will be dire. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the ICJ’s relentless pursuit of a genocide conviction against Israel and what that will mean for the Jewish State.

War No More? 🪂 🤸‍♀️ LAF'ing Hezbollah Out Of Lebanon

The Strait of Hormuz is still blocked. America still has the Iranian blockade blockaded and today Donald Trump launched Operation Freedom to help the thousands of stranded sailors get out safely. Rumors swirl about a possible deal and no deal other than complete surrender seems like it could possibly be a good deal. Meanwhile, Israel’s war on Hezbollah rages on as the world continues to misunderstand the very nature of that war on terror. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss Israel’s war with Hezbollah, the continue crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, and the chances of a good deal with Iran.

NATO No More? 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Strange F'ing Bedfellows

As the war in Ukraine continues to take extraordinary casualties on both sides, Putin continues to press on and now it seems Russia is at least posturing threats against greater Europe and even NATO allies. Are these threats credible and what would a Russian war on NATO look like? Would America step up if Article Five is invoked and would a direct confrontation between the United States and Russia, two global superpowers, put the whole world at threat. Would Donald Trump stand with America’s NATO allies against his sometime pal, Putin? In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Europe, potential NATO response, and unholy Russian alliances with The White House and Jerusalem.
