Date recorded: Feb 23, 2026
Description:
More countries have been targeted by the U.S.’s push for dominance on the global stage. Is there something deeper lurking behind Trump’s push to take Greenland? Is Cuba on the brink of a humanitarian crisis due to U.S. actions? And are there other actors or agencies working inside Iran manipulating the narratives we’ve been given? Listen in as Terra and Peter explore what lies behind these shocking U.S. aggressions.
