The Players:
The Host: Mario Nawfal, a twenty-something Lebanese-Australian Entrepreneur and War Podcaster with an Australian accent living in UAE. Slender, fast-talking and intense, his knowledge-base of current conditions is high quality. He seems to interview more highly qualified observers than other podcasters, serves as a central switchboard of interviewees' observations which he communicates between them in their separate interviews. His value is to be the best source of the most complete state of the contemporaneous war-information. He seems to lay awake at night worrying about all this stuff. Moderately opposed to Iran.
Col. Daniel "Deep Dive" Davis, a sharp, fast-talking southerner who smilingly wraps in molasses with a friendly "mouth full of mush", the most cogent observations of the worst of the news.
Their flexible, respectful, highly interactive dialogues, without drama, keep listeners abreast of the latest conditions without drama.
On YouTube, it is suggested that listeners turn down the speed using the Gear-Icon "Settings" > Playback Speed, say, to 90%.

The Iranian militants have played this game of blustering defiance for decades and the West has always eventually capitulated. Defying Trump is foolish and he will respond not with appeasement, but with terrible resolve. Pity the Iranian people who will suffer by the decisions of their erstwhile leaders.
It’s not like Iran can hide their ships.
LTC Davis is an embarrassment to those of us who served and retired from the U.S. Army. I don’t know why anybody would listen to him. If you want an intelligent opinion from a retired officer, listen to General Keane.
U.S.: Highly trained, competitive, intense. The lower you go on the food-chain, down to the actual warriors, the closer to truth and PC-incorrect questioning of the conventional orthodoxy.
Iran: The actual fighters were not in the Iran-Iraq war 1990-1998, they are the sons, nephews or grandsons of Iran-Iraq war veterans. Highly patriotic, inclined to self-sacrifice, my image of their handling of enriched uranium is of drivers of trucks transporting 100 gallon size containers of enriched uranium to remote desert locations, most, deliberate dummies, red-herrings, mobile "Potemkin Villages", designed to give off a radiation signature indistinguishable by satellite from the real thing, perhaps, 1 out of 20 transporting actual, live uranium.

We sank their navy; whether or not we will need to sink their merchant fleet is up to them.
If Israel and the U.S. gave birth to Al Qaeda;
Then, was Al Queda, which is credited for the Twin-Tower attacks, working against, or for, the U.S., on September 11, 2001?
Osama bin Laden, who acknowledged "doing it", Muammar Gaddafi, Sadaam Hussein and the Ayatollah Khomeini, all, either worked directly for the U.S. at different times, or accepted large amounts of American money.
At one time or another, we’ve propped up most of the bad guys out there.

I thought it is only our grandchildren who've been brainwashed in school to instinctively believe it is wrong to listen to or talk with anyone outside one's ideological tribe, needing to resort to safe spaces so we don't come to harm from them.
"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." - JFK
Not that I have a particular problem with Jack Keane, but you’re referring to the same Jack Keane who (check the videos, don’t believe me) who spent the first 8 months of the Ukraine War going on news shows and podcasts every day saying Russia would absolutely wipe out Ukraine in the next 7 to 10 days?
That Jack Keane?
Davis is an idiot. I agree.
The problem is that november is coming fast and this war does not play well to large sections of the american electorate.
without change the democrats will regain control of the house.
agree. there is something not right about that guy. His service in afghanistan twisted him.
I think the Russians and almost everybody else (Including me) thought the Russians would wipe out Ukraine in 7 to 10 days. I have a son who is a Special Forces 0-6 (Colonel) who shared that belief at the start of Russia’s’ invasion. Despite all of us being wrong, Davis is still an Idiot.
He is a youtube “influencer”. LOL. ok
