US Dollar Collapse | Trump vs. Iran | Ukraine Blackouts

In this episode, we break down the escalating tensions in the Middle East following President Trump’s latest Truth Social post regarding a "massive armada" heading toward Iran. We discuss the potential for a catastrophic miscalculation, the risks of a preemptive strike by Iran, and the looming threat of false flag operations. We also analyze the "Great Unraveling" of the American Empire. From Mark Carney’s surprising pivot toward a multipolar world to the accelerating decline of the US Dollar, the writing seems to be on the wall. Finally, we provide an update on the war in Ukraine, covering the winter slowdown, massive power outages in Kiev and Odessa, and the growing internal unrest over forced conscription.

We also discuss the shocking admissions of economic warfare by US officials, the rumors surrounding an Israeli nuclear test, and how Zionist lobbying influences American politics.

Trump’s Greenland Ultimatum | Canada Pivots to China | Iran Wins? | Ukraine Goes Dark

Is the American Empire officially falling apart? In this episode, we break down the insane geopolitical developments of early 2026. We start with President Trump’s shocking letter to Norway and his doubling down on the annexation of Greenland—a move that is shattering NATO and humiliating European leadership. We also discuss the massive shift in the global order as Canada, led by Mark Carney, signals a pivot toward China, leaving the US isolated. Plus, we reveal the real reason the US called off the attack on Iran (hint: it involves Netanyahu getting cold feet), the ongoing humanitarian disaster in Gaza, and the total energy collapse in Ukraine as Russia closes in on Odessa.
