A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar... Andrew Fox & Shana Meyerson Talk Israel

When someone says “genocide,” what is the first thing that comes to mind? If it’s Israel, it proves a point. When something is said enough times, people accept it as true. Fact is, the ICJ has not yet ruled on the genocide case against Israel in Gaza, but the world has already accepted it as fact. Despite the preponderance of evidence, the International Court of Justice is literally rewriting the legal standards in a way that will unjustly shove Israel into the genocide box. And the repercussions will be dire.In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the ICJ’s relentless pursuit of a genocide conviction against Israel and what that will mean for the Jewish State.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

The Strait of Hormuz is still blocked. America still has the Iranian blockade blockaded and today Donald Trump launched Operation Freedom to help the thousands of stranded sailors get out safely. Rumors swirl about a possible deal and no deal other than complete surrender seems like it could possibly be a good deal. Meanwhile, Israel’s war on Hezbollah rages on as the world continues to misunderstand the very nature of that war on terror.In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss Israel’s war with Hezbollah, the continue crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, and the chances of a good deal with Iran.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

As the war in Ukraine continues to take extraordinary casualties on both sides, Putin continues to press on and now it seems Russia is at least posturing threats against greater Europe and even NATO allies. Are these threats credible and what would a Russian war on NATO look like? Would America step up if Article Five is invoked and would a direct confrontation between the United States and Russia, two global superpowers, put the whole world at threat. Would Donald Trump stand with America’s NATO allies against his sometime pal, Putin?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Europe, potential NATO response, and unholy Russian alliances with The White House and Jerusalem.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

Iran has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz. And now the United States has blockaded the blockade. As Donald Trump tries to force Iran to surrender and give up their nuclear program by choking their economy, there is another major player to consider: China. Will a potential U.S. - China showdown spark World War III? Will the world economy survive this crisis? Will the IRGC survive?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the US blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and its geopolitical implications.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

President Donald Trump has changed the Iranian negotiation deadline again. Now, the IRGC has until 8pm Eastern Time tomorrow to seal a deal or seal their fate. Trump is threatening to knock them back into the Stone Age. Can he do that without breaking international rules of war? Will he even try?

Has the Trump Administration dropped its war aim to remove the Iranian nuclear threat? Mixed messaging from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and, of course, President Donald Trump seems to be confusing the narrative. What are our goals in Iran?

What happened to ending Iran’s funding of terrorist proxies?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the goals of the war, the Israeli problem of settler violence, and how we should best use our words to convey our aims.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion are in flux as mixed messaging from President Trump leaves the whole world guessing. Is the war in Iran really going to end this week?

While the Middle East seems to be in something of a holding pattern right now, the rhetoric of the Islamic forces in both Gaza and Iran continues to ramp up. Propaganda and posturing abound as their leaders scramble to show power and threat, as they are increasingly disemboweled by Israel and the United States. Top of their list of priorities: discredit and delegitimize Israel on the world stage. Sadly, that soft war is the one they continue to win.In this live conversation, Shana Meyerson talks about the double talk coming out of the mouths of Hamas and IRGC leaders.

Gaza remains a ball of confusion as the Rafah Crossing re-opens sort of and efforts to demilitarize Hamas get ridiculous and go nowhere.In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss Iran and Gaza, America and Israel, the IRGC and Hamas, bad actors and futile attempts at good faith agreements.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

President Trump promised Iran the US has their backs, meanwhile protestors in the streets of Iran are being shot in the back by IRGC forces. When will the United States intervene and will it be too late? The people of Iran need help now. American military assets are on the way.

And, of course, what will this mean for Israel?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the prospects of an American attack on Iran as well as the dangers of what is going on with the Kurds in Syria.

Thousands of Iranian civilians--peacfully demonstrating--have now been massacred by their own government. And the protests defiantly continue. But for how long? Donald Trump has vowed that he is coming in, but when and how and in what capacity? How long can the people maintain momentum and will this mean the end of the regime in Iran? And if the Ayatollah and IRGC fall, does that mean a new world order? Does it mean peace? Stability? In the Middle East? And beyond...?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss what so much of the world is shamefully silent about: the civilian uprising in Iran and what it would take to make it successful.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

(🔊 SORRY ABOUT THE SOUND! TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT!)With all the many, many fronts of the Israel (Gaza) War, Syria finds itself in the spotlight. After an ISIS terrorist killed three US citizens (two servicemembers and a translator) in Syria, the United States retaliated in a massive way. President Trump and Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, have vowed to destroy any enemy anywhere that dares to threaten America or its allies. And yet…the same standards are not applied when it comes to Israeli anti-terror maneuvers across the region.In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the unstable situation in Syria and the mirage of Mira Gaza in the ever-changing Middle East.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

Yesterday in Sydney, Australia, a nightmare unfolded as two Islamist terrorists opened fire on 1000 Jews celebrating the first night of Hanukkah. Innocent victims including a Holocaust survivor and a ten-year-old girl were murdered for being Jewish in public. Without any leadership from PM Albanese, it seems such a terrorist attack was inevitable. Sydney has been festering with antimsemitism since October 7th. Now we have to ask: will the world finally wake up and step up to fight this terror? Or will we succumb to the darkness? This Festival of Light, our prayers are for conquering the darkness.In this conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the tragic massacre at Chabad's Hanukkah party in Bondi Beach and how we can win this fight for civilization.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

In the wake of the brutal attack on two National Guard soldiers in DC, what do we really know about the Afghan refugees who came to the West, largely unvetted, in the wake of the disastrous US military withdrawal from Afghanistan?2. How bad of an actor is Putin, really? And what cost is Trump willing to have the world pay for peace?3. Benjamin Netanyahu submitted a 111-page request for pardon. Will Herzog grant it?

In the past week, President Trump had high-profile meetings with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (aka MBS) and New York Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani. And then he declared "certain chapters or subdivisions" of the Muslim Brotherhoood as designated terrorist organizations.While DJT cozied up to these questionable figures, it left a lot of people asking a lot of questions.

Last night at the United Nations, the U.S.-backed Resolution essentially codifying President Trump's 20-Point Peace Plan passed 13-0. Red flags are flying everywhere over what this means for Palestinian Statehood and the viability (or lack of viability) of the Gaza Plan altogether. At the heart of this controversy are Qatar and Turkey and whether, as patrons of the Hamas terrorists, they can be trusted to play a significant role in the peace-keeping effort. For Israel, that's a hard NO. But will they have the final say of what happens in their own backyard?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the UN Security Council resolution, America's uncomfortable alliances with Arab-Muslim frenemies, and what it all means for the security of the Jewish State.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society.

Now that Hamas has repeatedly broken the 20-Point Trump Peace Plan & Ceasefire in the most sadistic and savage ways, all eyes are on Israel...again...and exactly no eyes are falling on Hamas. Global scrutiny of the Jewish State is relentless and Israeli retaliation is never acceptable to the world at large. So, what will Israel do? Will they resort to a Lebanon-style Whack-a-Mole strategy or will Israel finally go in hard and and fast, now that all the live hostages are home, and finally finish the job?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the current state of the tenuous Israel-Hamas Ceasefire and what to expect from here.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

With the tenuous Gaza ceasefire in place, it's anybody's guess how long this so-called peace will last. Trump's 20-Point Peace Plan hasn't so far gotten past Phase One, as JD Vance visits Israel to keep Phase Two negotiations on track. Meanwhile in Judea and Samaria, a shadow war is being fought that very few are paying attention to. As Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority are framed as the "good guys" in all this, the truth is they are eerily similar to their Gazan rivals, Hamas.In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the often-overlooked Judea and Samaria (aka The West Bank) and a few notes about the current ceasefire.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

This morning saw the start of the highly anticipated Gaza hostage release, wherein Hamas terrorists handed the last 20 living Israeli hostages over to Israel. This is the moment that the entire Jewish State has been holding its breath for. It feels like a miracle, but there are still 28 murdered hostages yet to be released. Four will come home today, instead of 28, as agreed upon in President Donald J. Trump's 20-Point Peace Plan. Once again, the joyous holiday of Simchat Torah is marred with a devastating sadness. Israel and the Jewish People cannot rest, cannot breathe again, until all 48 hostages are home.In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss this morning's hostage release and the possiibility of real peace.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

Last week at the UN General Assembly (UNGC), there seemed to be just one item on the agenda: bashing Israel. After a week-long antisemitic session, full of double standards, lies and slanders against the Jewish State, it seemed like Israel stood alone with only the US by its side. How things change! Days later, US President Donald J. Trump presented a peace plan that the whole world basically signed on to. The whole world but Hamas, that is. Now who's standing alone?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the 2025 United Nations General Assembly and the Trump 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan that followed.

The United Nations General Assembly stands poised to recognize an independent Palestinian State in what they claim to be the Two State Solution to the centuries-old war in the Middle East. Emanuel Macron and Keir Starmer have led this effort and the world’s dominoes have fallen into place. This crown jewel, awarded to Hamas in response to their savage massacre on October 7, 2023, is nothing more than a tremendous reward for terror. Meanwhile, Trump stands with Netanyahu and guarantees a veto on the resolution. So why recognize “Palestine” at all?In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the implications of the UN Resolution to grant Palestinian Statehood and how it will affect the global geopolitical balance.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society.

As the war in Gaza rages on, the lies and propaganda surrounding the war with Israel just get more intense and more insane. No, there is no genocide in Gaza, Israel is not starving the Gazans, there is no ethnic cleansing and certainly no intentional killing of journalists.
