Paul Craig Roberts: Xi and Putin Can't Save Trump in Hormuz — Here's Why
Summary
This episode examines the discrepancy between US claims of high oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz and independent data showing minimal transit, with guests debating the validity of official figures. They analyze the stalled Iran-Oman agreement on maritime transit, suggesting Saudi Arabia intervened to block its announcement to maintain regional instability. The discussion also covers the ineffectiveness of the Mecca defense pact and the US-Israel alliance, arguing that external mediation by China or Russia is futile due to Israel’s control over Washington.
