TRUMP'S IRAN WAR: "I'LL NEVER APOLOGIZE!" - Larry Johnson EXPOSES ALL

Gas prices don’t rise in a vacuum. They rise when chokepoints tighten, reserves drain, and officials pretend the pain will stay contained. We sit down with Larry Johnson of Sonar21 to pressure-test the story you’re being sold about the war with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and why “it’s only $4 a gallon” can quickly turn into a very different reality when global oil supply, diesel, and aviation fuel get squeezed.From there, we connect the dots to US military readiness in plain terms: reports of Iran downing a large number of US Reaper drones, the growing strain on air and missile defenses, and what it means when key munitions run low. We also get into the uncomfortable supply-chain truth behind modern warfare, including how rare earth minerals and other inputs tied to China can stall weapons production no matter how big the Pentagon budget is.The hardest part of this conversation is the human cost. We talk about Navy logistics breaking down at sea, extended aircraft carrier deployments, conditions families are describing from the USS Abraham Lincoln and other ships, and the wider mental health crisis reflected in suicide numbers since 2001. We also hit the geopolitics beyond Iran: South Korea war games, alliance management, Oman and the reality of who controls Hormuz, and Israel’s escalating rhetoric on Gaza alongside questions about whether US leverage can change the trajectory.If you care about energy security, US foreign policy, military logistics, and what war looks like once the slogans fade, listen all the way through.
