Meet Shawn, our guest in this riveting dialogue, a former military analyst who's bringing his wealth of experience to the table in an earnest exploration of the complexities of global conflict. Shawn takes us on an enlightening journey through the potentiality of a third world war, highlighting how China might take advantage of the US’s diverted attention towards Israel and Ukraine, to seize Taiwan. He delves into the intricacies of the Middle East conflict, scrutinising the shortcomings of the Iron Dome system when it comes to tracking low-flying targets. His analysis of the possible economic and political implications of a long-drawn proxy war on the United States is as insightful as it is thought-provoking, and his call to arms for increased defense spending is worth noting. In the second half, Shawn turns the spotlight on the United States, sounding an alarm about the possibilities of a weak leadership setting off a chain of economic and social issues that could culminate in the US becoming a third world nation. He underscores the imperative for American citizens to actively engage in the Israel conflict as a preventive measure against a war that could spiral out of control. Shawn’s perspectives on the role of older Imams in Palestine, the parallels between Hamas and ISIS, and the significance of Israeli intelligence in training other intelligence services are intriguing. This is an episode that you can't afford to miss, filled to the brim with invaluable insights that unveil the nuanced dynamics of worldwide conflicts.
