America's Frontlines Podcast 25 February 2026

In this episode: As China’s leadership purges its own generals, Colonel Denny and Skip discuss how the CIA is exploiting that instability with targeted recruitment messaging—raising the stakes in the intelligence battle between the world’s two most powerful nations. Colonel Denny and Skip break down rising global tensions—from President Trump’s deadline to Iran amid a U.S. military buildup, to American troops deploying to Nigeria, high-stakes diplomacy with China over Taiwan, a strategically ironic missile sale to Denmark tied to Greenland, and major drug seizures in the Pacific—revealing how security, strategy, and power are colliding across the globe. Colonel Denny delivers more of his one liners to keep us smiling. Our primary guest is retired Army veteran Jay Richards and he tells us about his time in service as well as some additional details that we normally don't hear about. Of course we get our regular dose of military history that happened around this date. Retired Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Roland Ashby delivers more of his warrant wisdom. We get to finally meet out "invisible" team member Dave Bystry who is responsible to keep the entire team out of trouble, well at least with the government.
