In this episode, Victor and I try to make some sense on what is happening in the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran. Some things just don't seem to make any sense, especially from a politically and militarily strategic point of view, but we do our best. Netanyahu benefits from the conflict, but in the big picture, China could ultimately be the winner here, especially as the Trump administration continues to alienate US allies.

The city is on the Gulf Coast of Texas and has approximately 500,000 residents. Petrochemical plants account for roughly half of the city's water use. City leaders have known for years and have been warned repeatedly about the looming water shortage and have not taken any substantive action to address it, and now the city is faced with the very real possibility of running out of water in the very near future.
