199. THE US IS RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS: Iran, Ukraine, Venezuela & the Crisis of American Power
Colonial OutcastsShow Notes
A bombshell leak to the Washington post on Sunday, August 31st, demonstrated that US General Officers in the Pentagon are vying for increasingly finite assets and matériel across Combatant Commands, limiting the military viability of interventions in Iran, Ukraine, and Latin America. This episode examines how and why that is. Here is our general outline: Part 1: Russia–Ukraine Why did the CIA Director urgently fly to Russia?
The US trying to freeze the Ukraine conflict
NATO’s fragility
Can the US rebuild its industrial base?
Part 2: Iran, Sanctions & Economic Warfare The limits of military force
The new sanctions / economic isolation
Iran’s capacity to withstand the war
Iran’s international partners
Part 3: Venezuela & Latin America Securing Latin America
The Venezuela deal
Long-term objectives
China & multipolarity in the Americas
Final synthesis: ● The three sections ultimately connect: ○ Ukraine: limits of US/NATO military power. ○ Iran: limits of US military and financial coercion. ○ Venezuela: attempt to compensate by consolidating influence closer to home. ● Central question: Is the US adapting to a declining relative position—or attempting to reverse it through increasingly aggressive economic, military and political coercion?
