Worth It? The Strait, the Threat, and the War Receipt

from The Briefing Room · host Marcus S. Atkinson

War isn’t a headline right now — it’s the headline font. Today on The Briefing Room, we break down the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, the battle for the Strait of Hormuz, Trump’s Truth Social threat, and the Russia/China positioning while allies hesitate to fully jump in. Then Barbershop Court puts the whole thing on trial with one question: Is this war worth it when the cost shows up at the pump, the grocery store, and the ballot box?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-briefing-room--5656912/support.
