America's SECURITY BRIEFING with EXPERT Joel Rubin

In this gripping episode of The Dangerous Ones, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Joel Rubin joins hosts Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen to unpack today's volatile geopolitical landscape. Rubin provides critical insights into escalating tensions between nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan, the chaotic state of U.S. foreign policy under Trump's second term, and the deteriorating American global image due to diplomatic neglect and controversial tariffs.   Joel Rubin also delves into complex issues like the breakdown of the Iran nuclear deal, the devastating conflict in Gaza, and why America's diminished diplomatic presence abroad poses significant threats to national security. Offering his extensive experience from the Peace Corps to Capitol Hill, Rubin emphasizes the urgent need for strategic diplomacy over aggressive tactics. Ending on an inspiring note, Rubin highlights the profound importance of public service and collective responsibility in navigating these challenging global crises.     ABOUT THE DANGEROUS ONES The Dangerous Ones isn't just a podcast—it's a movement.
