Dire Straits of Hormuz 🪂 🤸‍♀️ What's in a Deal?

The Vance vs. Rubio "Peace-Off" 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Ti-i-i-ime Is Not On Our Side

America is running dangerously low on munitions and defensive capabilities and it seems like maybe only dumb bombs will save us from this stupid war in Iran. Iran may have seized complete and permanent control of the Strait, but the Gulf States have something to say about that. Meantime, Marco Rubio and JD Vance are floating dueling peace initiatives as Trump watches the dog fight on and Israel and Lebanon make nice. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss America’s dire munitions stockpiles, the plan to destroy Hezbollah, the GCC, and World War III. 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.

Vance Bombs 🪂 🤸 Pain Incoming

Iran negotiations have begun in Switzerland and no one rolled out a welcome mat for JD Vance. The Iran delegation and Qatari negotiators have been publicly snubbing him even as he tries to smooth things over with slick diplomacy. Meanwhile, Vance is quite intent on passing the whole debacle off on Benjamin Netanyahu and America’s Israeli allies. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss JD Vance’s statements and positions and what these Iran talks will honestly mean for the world economy in the short run.

Dire Straits of Hormuz 🪂 🤸‍♀️ What's in a Deal?

The Iran Deal—or at least the Memorandum of Understanding—is poised and ready to be signed. No one knows exactly what’s in the MOU, but anyone paying attention knows it is a bad deal for America, Israel, and the West. This is not a new era of Peace in the Middle East and while Donald Trump takes his victory laps, Benjamin Netanyahu is, once again, cast in the role of the fall guy. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the emerging deal, who it helps, who it hurts, and what is likely to come out of it.

The Art of No Deal 🪂 🤸 How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Ceasefire

Ceasefire in Iran...over. Iran fired four rounds of missiles on Israel and despite Donald Trump's implorings, Benjamin Netanyahu gave the IDF the go-ahead to retaliate against Tehran. Is this the end of the ceasefire? Will the war escalate or is a deal on the horizon? And is there any possibility of a good deal with the IRGC? Or are we headed down the road to a very bad deal? As the crisis in the Hormuz Strait plunges the world towards economic demise, something has to give...what will it be? In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the Israel-Iran war, and what it means for the future not just of the Jewish State, but for the United States-Israel relationship as a whole.

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.
