https://shop.ukcolumn.org/product/the-column-issue-1/In this hard-hitting geopolitical breakdown, Jamar sits down with Carl Zha (host of Silk & Steel) to dissect the real-world fallout from the US war of aggression against Iran. The Wall Street Journal admits America’s ammunition stockpiles are now too depleted to defend Taiwan. Carl explains why China’s strategic oil reserves dwarf those of the US, Japan, and Europe combined, how the US is not even oil-self-sufficient, and why Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea should be terrified. They also discuss Trump’s crumbling leverage ahead of a potential Xi meeting, Israel’s grip on US foreign policy, and why Iran should just get the bomb.
