Iran-Israel War with Joseph Solis-Mullen

In this episode, we explore one of the wildest what-if scenarios in modern geopolitics: a potential Israeli preemptive attack on Pakistan’s nuclear facilities. We dig into what such an operation would require, why it’s almost certainly a fantasy, and what the fallout could look like if it ever happened. We also unpack Israel’s past preemptive strikes on Iraq (1981) and Syria (2007), the logic of nuclear deterrence, covert sabotage efforts, Indo-Israeli security ties, and why this bizarre scenario keeps popping up in strategic circles.

Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in broad daylight with a homemade shotgun. But the real story? It wasn’t political extremism. It was personal. In this episode, we break down how Japan’s most influential modern leader was killed by a man with a vendetta against a powerful religious group—the Unification Church. We explore Japan’s eerie history of political assassinations, the cult's strange ties to government, and how loneliness and disillusionment are reshaping modern societies. This is the wildest story you've never heard—all 100% true.
