TGP—This video features an interview between host Judge Andrew Napolitano and former intelligence analyst Larry Johnson. The conversation covers several geopolitical events as of September 14, 2026:
Ukraine Train Attack: Larry Johnson discusses a recent Russian military strike on a train station at the Ukrainian-Polish border. He suggests that Russian intelligence deliberately targeted the engine to send a message while avoiding civilian casualties, following the passage of high-profile officials.
US Air Base in Jordan: The two discuss recent Iranian strikes on a U.S. air base in Jordan (6:40), with Larry Johnson claiming significant damage to aircraft and helicopters, contrasting this with official U.S. accounts of “light damage” (7:01 – 8:10).
Energy Markets and the Houthis: The primary focus is the Houthi takeover of territory near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and a port crucial to Saudi Arabia. Larry Johnson explains that this, combined with U.S. sanctions on Iran, is driving up global diesel prices. He disputes Donald Trump’s claims that the high cost of fuel is solely due to the conflict in Ukraine, labeling it “sheer nonsense”

TGP—Yesterday a Reuters piece quoted head of the Ukrainian Parliamentary Budget Committee as admitting that Ukraine’s daily war costs are $190M. This would mean such a drone barrage could make up a significant portion of the entire allotted military budget for each given period. This should quickly demonstrate why such massive sustained drone campaigns are in fact not sustainable for Ukraine, and any claims to the contrary by Zelensky are fibs meant to give the impression that Ukraine still has a chance to do anything significant against Russia.

TGP—This video features an interview with Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi from Tehran University, who discusses the escalating tensions and the high possibility of a major conflict involving the United States, Iran, and Yemen (0:00 – 1:56).
Imminent Conflict: Prof. Marandi argues that despite diplomatic rhetoric, current indicators such as troop movements and US security warnings suggest that a significant US-led strike on Iran or Yemen could be imminent (1:56 – 5:57).
Military Preparedness: He notes that both Iran and Yemen are on full alert, have moved critical military assets deep underground, and have improved their defense capabilities against drone warfare, rendering the US military option costly with limited potential for success (5:57 – 12:20).
Economic Consequences: The professor warns that if the US targets Iran’s critical energy infrastructure, it would lead to an immediate collapse of the global economy. He emphasizes that Iran has the capability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, which would cause energy prices to surge globally (15:00 – 17:10).
Nuclear Program: Addressing the US rationale for potential strikes, Marandi asserts that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons for religious and strategic reasons. He contends that the current pressure is ironically pushing Iran closer to becoming a nuclear-threshold state (34:53 – 41:37).
Geopolitical Alliances: Marandi explains that US pressure has acted as a catalyst for a closer partnership between Iran, Russia, and China, shifting the focus of Iranian foreign policy away from the west toward the east and north.

TGP—Eman Abu Jame had counted her family among the lucky ones. Israel bombed their home in the southern Gaza Strip at the beginning of the war, forcing them to move from one shelter to another. But throughout the first two years of the genocide, neither she, her husband, nor her children suffered any serious health problems.

That all changed in October 2025, when they took refuge in a crowded tent camp in Khan Younis.

TGP—As the Pentagon secretly burns through its finite stock of missile interceptors, top foreign policy insiders and U.S. troops on the ground are sounding an unprecedented alarm: Washington is running out of time, leverage and ammunition. In this explosive interview, top foreign policy analyst Dr. Trita Parsi (Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute) breaks down the hidden reality behind the Middle East conflict and warn that America has walked into an unmitigated geopolitical trap.

LJ—I came away with two clear impressions.

The first is that Russia’s negotiating position toward the West has not moved an inch since Putin addressed his foreign ministry on June 14, 2024. In that speech he made the terms explicit, and they are the terms still on the table: the West must recognize Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson, along with Crimea, as permanent Russian territory. These former Ukrainian oblasts are not going back. In Moscow that is treated not as an opening bid but as a settled fact. Beyond it, Russia is building buffer zones through its advances in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk. Those territories could, in time, be incorporated as well — though officials frame that as something that would follow a vote or plebiscite rather than a foregone conclusion. It is not formally on the menu. But it is, in my read, very much in the cards.
