How the Brits F***ed the Middle East, Italian Heroes, and JD’s A Beardo

This week Seena and Travis take it back to the beginning to help us understand the exact moment when everything went to hell in Palestine. They cover the secret deals and broken promises that led us to where we are today, as well as explain what we’re all getting wrong when we call the region the Middle East. That colonialism is a real cock-up is no surprise, but the inanity of the language is wild. They also talk about Trump’s plans for regime change in Venezuela, Italy standing up for Gaza, and, of course, they monitor JD’s steady decline into despotism.Sources/Extras:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Cn3UP6dp8d0https://youtu.be/YM8i4LsW0hw?si=2KZMMJjB63yqq2s2https://www.the-map-as-history.com/History-of-Middle-East-20th-century/the-sykes-picot-agreementhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8rdd5dzvrohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/us/politics/trump-venezuela-maduro.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/trinidad-us-military-venezuela-strikes-fishing-fcd24c441f58162b811a24b247334fc5?user_email=92bc3449781eed425b4f99e69ea51e8c0d0aa3f457676d4160e921b1bcac8241&utm_medium=Morning_Wire&utm_source=Sailthru_AP&utm_campaign=Morning%20Wire_7%20Oct_2025&utm_term=Morning%20Wire%20Subscribershttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/eXqLgDF3Lakhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZKKlZJqDU0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbdMz2wSY4I Follow The Show: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheForeignReportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/foreignreportshow/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@foreignreportlpnThreads: https://www.threads.net/@foreignreportshowWebsite: https://www.foreignreportshow.com/ Follow the Host:https://www.instagram.com/seenanow/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/travisirvineusa/?hl=en Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
