IRAN, TAIWAN & AI: The New World Order! With Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis - #950

from THE SAVAGE NATION · host Michael Savage

Michael Savage interviews retired Army Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis about China, Taiwan, Iran, and his book The New AI Cold War: Liberty vs. Tyranny in the Age of Machine Empires. McGinnis says the Trump–Xi summit produced pomp but few substantive outcomes, possibly favoring Xi. He argues AI was central given the executives traveling with Trump. They discuss Taiwan as strategically vital due to geography, allied credibility, and semiconductor dominance, and unpack Xi's "Thucydides trap" warning. Turning to Iran, Maginnis frames a "fork" between tolerating Tehran's nuclear progress or seizing and dismantling dispersed facilities, a difficult ground operation with uncertain intelligence. The conversation closes on AI's sweeping military and societal impact, China's open model strategy, and potential theological implications.
