Summary

Donald Trump is a runaway train, and we’re all along for the ride. In this urgent solo “Manosphere Monday” briefing, Paul Rieckhoff rips into Week Three of Trump’s war in Iran, the total blackout in Cuba, and a stunning failure of imagination from both parties and much of the media as casualties mount and forever war becomes the plan, not the exception. From the lonely circuit breaker role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, to the growing cyber battlefield where the lights go out before the bombs drop, Paul breaks down how Trump is going “all gas, no brakes,” why allies still matter, and how the human cost of this war is already immeasurable for Gold Star and surviving families here at home. He calls out the politicians cashing in on conflict, the Congressmen openly attacking Muslim Americans, and the Pentagon and Wall Street players treating war like one more business opportunity.
