A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar... Andrew Fox & Shana Meyerson Talk Israel

Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion are in flux as mixed messaging from President Trump leaves the whole world guessing. Is the war in Iran really going to end this week? Or with even more military assets heading to the Gulf, is it just a few days of confusion and stalling in order to regroup, take the Hormuz Strait and force regime change in the IRGC? Where does this leave Israel? And should the world care?

In this live conversat...

As the war in Iran rages on and Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion continue to ratchet up their intensity, there is still no clear answer of if and how America and Israel will emerge victorious from this war with an ideological terrorist regime that vows to never give up the fight. The Strait of Hormuz and Kharg Island are now fully in play, as the war becomes more entangled and complex.

In this live conversation, military expert...

Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion have positioned the United States and Israel in a militarily dominant position in their war on Iran. But do tremendous military successes necessarily translate into victory? Will IRGC regime change come as a result of this war and, if so, can that be accomplished without boots on the ground?

The United States and the Jewish State have attacked Iran hard. But all the IRGC has to do is survive to win. Despite tremendous wins right out of the gate, do the U.S. and Israel have what it takes to truly overthrow the regime? Or will this become another endless war with tremendous global financial consequences?

Iran exploded this weekend. After months of speculation, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu finally pushed the “on” button and the war on the IRGC started with a bang. Is regime change inevitable? And what does this all mean for the Iranian people? And all people, for that matter?

While the Middle East seems to be in something of a holding pattern right now, the rhetoric of the Islamic forces in both Gaza and Iran continues to ramp up. Propaganda and posturing abound as their leaders scramble to show power and threat, as they are increasingly disemboweled by Israel and the United States. Top of their list of priorities: discredit and delegitimize Israel on the world stage. Sadly, that soft war is the one the...

So much and not much at all has happened since last week. The US continues to move military assets toward Iran, while simultaneously negotiating…or stalling. Gaza remains a ball of confusion as the Rafah Crossing re-opens sort of and efforts to demilitarize Hamas get ridiculous and go nowhere.

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss Iran and G...

The Gaza War has been, in many ways, a war like no other, replete with lessons that all Western militaries will need to learn in order to succeed in the increasingly complex urban warfare landscape.

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss Andrew’s most recent report, Tactical Lessons From Gaza (https://tinyurl.com/28bdrfkn), and also celebrate...

President Trump promised Iran the US has their backs, meanwhile protestors in the streets of Iran are being shot in the back by IRGC forces. When will the United States intervene and will it be too late? The people of Iran need help now. American military assets are on the way. What will the attack look like, what will be the results, and who will pay the price?

And, of course, what will this mean for Israel?

In this live conversati...

Thousands of Iranian civilians--peacfully demonstrating--have now been massacred by their own government. And the protests defiantly continue. But for how long? Donald Trump has vowed that he is coming in, but when and how and in what capacity? How long can the people maintain momentum and will this mean the end of the regime in Iran? And if the Ayatollah and IRGC fall, does that mean a new world order? Does it mean peace? Stabilit...

Ever since October 7th, 2023, it seems every day is a completely new reality. Geopolitics are making tectonic shifts and the Middle East is as unpredictable as it is unstable. Israel has been hard at work fighting the war on terror to make a very dangerous neighborhood safer and maybe even one day peaceful...?

(🔊 SORRY ABOUT THE SOUND! TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT!)

With all the many, many fronts of the Israel (Gaza) War, Syria finds itself in the spotlight. After an ISIS terrorist killed three US citizens (two servicemembers and a translator) in Syria, the United States retaliated in a massive way. President Trump and Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, have vowed to destroy any enemy anywhere that dares to threaten America or its allies. And yet...

Yesterday in Sydney, Australia, a nightmare unfolded as two Islamist terrorists opened fire on 1000 Jews celebrating the first night of Hanukkah. Innocent victims including a Holocaust survivor and a ten-year-old girl were murdered for being Jewish in public. Without any leadership from PM Albanese, it seems such a terrorist attack was inevitable. Sydney has been festering with antimsemitism since October 7th. Now we have to ask: w...

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar co-host, Shana Meyerson discuss the UN"s lamentable but entirely predictable anti-Israel resolution demanding the return of the Golan Heights, Judea & Samaria (West Bank), and East Jerusalem. Looking at the geopolitics and the realpolitik behind the resolution, Andrew and Shana explore the reasons why friends, enemies and frenemie...

In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss three topics:

1. In the wake of the brutal attack on two National Guard soldiers in DC, what do we really know about the Afghan refugees who came to the West, largely unvetted, in the wake of the disastrous US military withdrawal from Afghanistan?

2. How bad of an actor is Putin, really? And what cost is ...

In the past week, President Trump had high-profile meetings with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (aka MBS) and New York Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani. And then he declared "certain chapters or subdivisions" of the Muslim Brotherhoood as designated terrorist organizations.

While DJT cozied up to these questionable figures, it left a lot of people asking a lot of questions. Can these men be trusted? Should they be trusted? And what does...

Last night at the United Nations, the U.S.-backed Resolution essentially codifying President Trump's 20-Point Peace Plan passed 13-0. Red flags are flying everywhere over what this means for Palestinian Statehood and the viability (or lack of viability) of the Gaza Plan altogether. At the heart of this controversy are Qatar and Turkey and whether, as patrons of the Hamas terrorists, they can be trusted to play a significant role in...

Now that Hamas has repeatedly broken the 20-Point Trump Peace Plan & Ceasefire in the most sadistic and savage ways, all eyes are on Israel...again...and exactly no eyes are falling on Hamas. Global scrutiny of the Jewish State is relentless and Israeli retaliation is never acceptable to the world at large. So, what will Israel do? Will they resort to a Lebanon-style Whack-a-Mole strategy or will Israel finally go in hard and a...
