A startling conversation about the rise of political violence at home and abroad. Karen Kwiatkowski, retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, joins us moments after the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk to analyze what this means for America's future. "These kinds of things are coming home now," she warns, drawing parallels between political killings abroad and this disturbing development on American soil.

The conversation takes a powerful turn as we examine Israel's provocative airstrike on Hamas negotiators in Qatar—a direct challenge to U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region. Kwiatkowski offers a scathing assessment of the U.S.-Israel relationship: "Israel believes that it can and will act with impunity... its actions are actually directly against the United States." She questions whether this relationship is maintained through financial influence, religious ideological alignment, or more troubling forms of leverage.

We dive deep into the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where Kwiatkowski presents evidence suggesting a systematic depopulation effort. "They intend to vacate Gaza of all Gazans. Whether they have to starve them, they die of disease, they export them somewhere or they kill them and bury them under the rubble." This frank analysis challenges listeners to confront the ethical implications of U.S. support for policies that may violate international humanitarian norms.

The episode concludes with a critical examination of NATO's contradictory stance on Ukraine's sovereignty, revealing how principles like national self-determination are selectively applied in global politics. Whether you're concerned about domestic political violence, Middle East policy, or the shifting global order, this conversation offers clarity and perspective on some of today's most pressing issues.
