Guest: Dave DeCamp – Trump’s Geopolitical Chess Moves & Being Anti-War in the Age of Empire

Jason, Matt, and Don sit down with Dave DeCamp, news editor at Antiwar.com and one of the most well-informed voices on U.S. foreign policy and global conflict, to break down the military-industrial complex’s never-ending grip on U.S. policy. While Americans are being told that federal spending is being slashed, the war machine keeps getting fed more and more taxpayer dollars. We discuss Trump’s call for increased military spending, the illusion of small government as a smokescreen for endless war, and the U.S.’s quiet plan to extract Ukraine’s rare earth minerals once the dust settles.

We also dive deep into Trump’s proposal to take over Gaza and the potential consequences for the region and beyond, the labyrinth of international relations, including Trump's unexpected dialogues with Putin, the contentious military budget proposals, and the moral implications of U.S. foreign policy, the multifaceted discussion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the potential trajectory of AI-driven surveillance in America. Dave brings his expert analysis on what’s really happening behind the scenes and why both parties keep America locked into permanent war—no matter who sits in the Oval Office.

But it’s not all doom and gloom—Dave leaves us with a white pill, offering a path forward that could break this destructive cycle and lead toward a more peaceful future.

If you care about foreign policy, government overreach, and how the war machine operates, this is a must-listen episode. (Length: 1:02:55)
