The Empire Has No Clothes: Why Iran is Exposing America's Paper Tiger Military | Silk and Steel

In this explosive episode, Carl Zha joins Rasheed for a no-holds-barred analysis of the catastrophic Iran war that has exposed the hollow core of American military power.
The headlines are writing themselves:
* The US is now publicly begging Europe, Japan, and China to bail them out
* Pete Hegseth claims "total victory" every day while requesting $200 billion more for a war they supposedly already won
* Two F-35s have fallen out of the sky – and US pilots are flying 36-hour missions on drugs because their bases are destroyed
* Iran is exporting more oil now than before the war – and getting paid in yuan
* China's Beidou satellite system is more advanced than GPS and guiding Iranian missiles
We break down:
* The illegality of the US attack under international law (UN Charter Article 2.4) and US Constitution
* How Trump was negotiating with Iran – they accepted all terms – then he bombed them (Pearl Harbor-style)
* The "Clean Break" plan from 1996: Israel's 30-year obsession with destroying Iran
* Why Iran's Mosaic Defense means there's no one left to negotiate with
* The real reason Trump did this: Epstein files and domestic failures
* How China stockpiled 1.2-1.5 billion barrels of oil while Trump drained the US reserve
* Why India's betrayal of Iran backfired spectacularly (now paying $100/barrel for Russian oil they used to get at $50)
* The fertilizer crisis: China and Russia stopped exports – it's planting season and farmers have nothing
* Why the AI bubble is about to burst (helium from Qatar is gone, energy is gone)
Plus: The Gallipoli comparison, the DOOM Butlerian Jihad meme, and why the world will never be the same after the Strait of Hormuz closure.
