Are We Watching History Rhyme? Iran, Cuba, and the Warning Signs of Regime Collapse - with Jared Knott Part 1

As unrest intensifies across Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and beyond, Bill Bernardoni is joined by historian and author Jared Knott to examine whether today’s global crises are isolated flashpoints or part of a broader historical pattern. Drawing on lessons from the collapse of the Soviet Union, the French Revolution, and other pivotal moments, Knott explains why socialist systems repeatedly fail, how economic pressure and internal stress weaken regimes, and why history often looks obvious only in hindsight. The conversation connects current events in Iran and Cuba to past collapses, highlighting inflation, scarcity, and desperation as key indicators that a regime may be nearing the end. It’s a timely, big-picture discussion of how small missteps, structural failures, and ignored warning signs can reshape the world faster than anyone expects.Do you think the unrest we’re seeing in Iran and Cuba signals the beginning of a larger global realignment—or are these still separate, isolated crises?
