Aug 29, 2026 · 48m

Summary

The MeidasTouch Podcast features former National Security Advisor Susan Rice discussing the geopolitical consequences of the Trump administration’s war in Iran. Rice characterizes the conflict as a strategic failure that has depleted US munitions, damaged military credibility, and alienated key allies like Canada and NATO members. She argues that this perceived weakness emboldens adversaries such as China and Russia, who are strengthening alternative alliances like BRICS and the SCO while the US pursues ineffective, retrograde military policies.
