World on the Brink: Iran, Ukraine, Taiwan — and the Ideological War Driving It All

Is the world sliding toward a multi-front war — or are we already in one?

In this explosive episode of the Yaron Brook Show, Yaron Brook tackles the escalating threat of war with Iran, the future of Ukraine, China’s designs on Taiwan, trade battles, AI militarization, and the ideological rot infecting the West.

From Pentagon deals with Anthropic to MAGA’s AI populism… from Marxist rhetoric to Alexander Dugin’s civilizational mysticism… this episode exposes the philosophical roots behind today’s geopolitical chaos.

If you care about freedom, capitalism, foreign policy, AI, or the survival of Western civilization — this is the episode you cannot afford to miss.

Censorship Rising, Empires Colliding: Iran, Russia, Tariffs & the War on Individualism

Is the West drifting toward censorship, nationalism, and economic self-sabotage?

In this episode, Yaron Brook tackles the biggest cultural and geopolitical flashpoints shaking the world right now—from censorship and Iran to Russia/Ukraine, tariffs, and the dangerous ideas of Alexander Dugin.

We break down the philosophical roots driving today’s conflicts—and why bad ideas about nationalism, collectivism, and tribalism are fueling chaos from Washington to Moscow to Tehran.
Plus: The Jones Act, Mamdani, Spike Lee, China’s global strategy, secession movements, and whether fascism is making a comeback under Xi Jinping.

This episode connects politics, economics, culture, and philosophy into one powerful narrative about the future of Western civilization.
