Poker, Popes, and the Art of the (No) Deal
from Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour Podcast
If you thought "unconditional surrender" was a nuanced diplomatic opening, you’re in for a wild ride. Stephanie Miller breaks down the latest chaotic installment of U.S.-Iran relations, where the White House is playing a game of geopolitical poker with a deck that seems to be all jokers. Between the President's "10 conditions" for a deal—which somehow involve both lifting sanctions and demanding total control over the Strait of Hormuz—and the truly bizarre pivot to threatening the Vatican, the world stage has never felt more like a high-stakes improv set. She also gets into the weeds on the "D-word" (the draft) and what this military posturing actually means for the future of young Americans.
