GVS Deep Dive   President Trump’s first trip to China since 2017 was supposed to reset relations between the world’s two largest powers. Instead, markets fell, trade breakthroughs never came, Taiwan tensions took center stage, and President Xi Jinping openly raised the “Thucydides Trap” — the idea that conflict often emerges when a rising power challenges an established one.   GVS Deep Dive examines why this summit may ultimately be remembered not for what was signed, but for what it revealed: a shifting balance of global power between the United States and China. |

The Jimmy Dore Show   Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins Jimmy Dore and explains that the US has no viable military path to victory in the Iran war, as the US lacks ground forces to invade Iran's million-man army, cannot assemble troops anywhere without them being devastated by Iranian missiles, and is running out of precision munitions like Tomahawks and JASSMs because rebuilding them requires rare earth minerals controlled by China.    He notes that Iran has built underground facilities capable of withstanding nuclear blasts and continues producing missiles, and that US air and naval options are limited since ships must stay 200 miles offshore to avoid being hit. Johnson further reveals that Russia and China are coordinating with Gulf states to "expel the United States from the Persian Gulf," and that Saudi Arabia shut down US airspace for Trump's "Project Freedom" after consulting with China and Pakistan. He concludes that Iran's five non-negotiab...

A leaked audio recording points to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, Javier Milei, and Donald Trump as attempting to create a platform to spread fake news about the administrations of Claudia Sheinbaum, Lula, and Gustavo Petro by Andrés Rodríguez Part 2 - Milei’s financial support In the conversation between Hernández and Asfura, the former president tells the Honduran leader that he needs $150,000 to rent an apartment in the United States, where he plans to set up an office for a digital journalism unit. This unit will publish information about Manuel Zelaya, who accused Trump of “protecting the plunderer of the state,” referring to Hernández’s pardon last November, and about Xiomara Castro, who served as president until handing power to Asfura. “Someone else here, from the U.S. president’s team, will handle it for me. Well, he’s one of the Republicans who are helping us. They’re going to set up a news site for us.” Asfura’s response is: “I’m going to transfer it from ...

GVS Deep Dive   Iran’s pressure over the Strait of Hormuz may no longer be limited to oil tankers, naval routes, and energy prices. New reports suggest Tehran is considering control over undersea internet cables passing through Hormuz, potentially requiring permits, fees, Iranian law, and Iranian companies for repair and maintenance. This video breaks down why the Strait of Hormuz is not only an oil chokepoint, but also a digital chokepoint connecting Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. Beneath the waters that carry global energy flows are fiber-optic cables carrying banking data, cloud services, AI traffic, telecom networks, financial messaging, and e-commerce. If Iran turns Hormuz into a digital leverage point, the consequences could reach far beyond the Gulf.
