#002 - Foreign Policy and Trump 2.0 feat. Mike ter Maat

Welcome back to The Spin Cycle. In this episode, Robert and Ryan are joined by former Libertarian vice presidential candidate and veteran economist Mike Ter Maat. Throughout the show, they expose the truths behind America's boldest military strikes, border enforcement, and international alliances.From the chaos of current US foreign policy in Iran to the complexities of drug cartel designations, Mike breaks down why many of our government’s actions are not only legally questionable but also strategically misguided. You'll hear how the War Powers Act is misinterpreted, why some military operations are illegal yet still executed, and how America's power projection is slipping in real-time—potentially leading us into a long and costly conflict.Mike shares candid insights on the tragic consequences of current policies and offers a rare look at alternative strategies—legal, economic, and diplomatic—that could restore America's leadership role worldwide.Perfect for policymakers, skeptics, and anyone fed up with the narrative that we’re powerless to change course, this episode reveals the hidden mechanisms of global influence and national security. You’ll learn how to recognize the signs of impending economic disaster, understand the limitations of military interventions, and why the future depends on our willingness to question authority and think outside the narrative.Follow the show everywhere! https://linkbio.co/spincyclev2Follow us on X!Robert: https://x.com/realrobertherrRyan: https://x.com/ryanthomastalksMike: https://x.com/miketermaat_
