FPF #227 – Trump’s Foreign Policy Playbook
by Kyle Anzalone | Aug 1, 2018 | Conflicts of Interest
On FPF #227, I discuss Trump's foreign policy. It appears Trump is using the same plan with Iran that he believes brought North Korea to agree to denuclearize. I explain how Trump misunderstands how the peace process developed in North Korea and why a similar US...

by Kyle Anzalone | Jul 13, 2018 | Conflicts of Interest

The Kyle Anzalone Show guest Jon Hoffman: Did Trump Put Saudi on the Path to Nuclear Weapons?!
A nuclear power deal can sound like paperwork until the fine print turns into a proliferation crisis. We sit down with Jon Hoffman of the Cato Institute to unpack the reported US Saudi nuclear agreement and the real meaning of a “Section 123 agreement” under the...
The Kyle Anzalone Show guest David Benner: Israel Stays on the Sidelines While Trump Fights Netanyahu’s War Against Iran
A single line in a must-pass defense bill can change U.S. foreign policy for years, and most people will never hear about it until it is too late. We dig into Section 219 of the NDAA and why critics say it moves beyond “supporting Israel” into something far more...
The Kyle Anzalone Show guest Larry Johnson: How Can Iran Keep Bombing US Bases
The story we’re being sold about Iran doesn’t survive contact with the facts: if Iran’s military is supposedly “obliterated,” why are US bases still getting hit and US troops still dying? We unpack that disconnect with Larry Johnson, walking through the mechanics of...
