The War on Cartels & the Battle for Ukraine

The War on Cartels & the Battle for Ukraine

Author: Last Podcast Network February 22, 2025 Duration: 1:03:34
An update on the TikTok ban, the U.S. labels Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, and Trump and Putin have left Zelenskyy out of any peace talks. We dive into the secret CIA drone operations over Mexico and the potential military action that could follow. Major shifts in the Russia-Ukraine war negotiations—Trump is making moves with Putin while sidelining Europe, fueling tensions at the Munich Security Conference. As U.S. officials clash with European leaders over NATO, defense policy, and Ukraine’s future, is a transatlantic split inevitable?
