In this episode, we analyze the escalating conflict in Yemen as Ansarullah launches devastating missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia, exposing the failures of Western air defenses. We discuss how this war signals the erosion of the American imperial order and the rise of formidable regional powers. We also examine rumors of a potential joint US-Israeli operation against Iran ahead of the US midterms. Despite triumphalist narratives, Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz and vast anti-ship missile arsenal leave the US with limited options. Finally, we break down the domestic political fallout, exploring how these wars and surging oil prices will influence the upcoming elections and political maneuvering in Washington.
