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.

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.

As the Iran War is muddled with messages from President Donald Trump and various IRGC leaders, we are all trying to muddle through the confusion and try to figure out what is actually happening. Is war going to restart? In what form? And what about the Iranian people????

In this live conversation, Shana Meyerson talks about the war (or ceasefire) in Iran—both kinetic and economic—as well as the war of words that keeps on raging against Israel and the Jewish people. A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, military expert Andrew Fox, was unable to make it to the bar this week...

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.

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? President Trump has set many deadlines with Iran and some…well…perhaps they shouldn’t FAFO.

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss five potential ways this war finally ends and the merits and challenges of each.

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? Regime change or not? Nuclear program destruction or not? 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.

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? Or with even more military assets heading to the Gulf, is it just a few days of confusion and stalling in order to regroup, take the Hormuz Strait and force regime change in the IRGC? Where does this leave Israel? And should the world care?

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, debate the success of the war on Iran and whether it’s even possible for the United States and Israel to get this win.

As the war in Iran rages on and Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion continue to ratchet up their intensity, there is still no clear answer of if and how America and Israel will emerge victorious from this war with an ideological terrorist regime that vows to never give up the fight. The Strait of Hormuz and Kharg Island are now fully in play, as the war becomes more entangled and complex.

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, have a heated discussion about the global implications of this war and whether World War III is at hand.
