  • Ep. 65 | Inside Trump's Ukraine Peace Strategy: From Alaska to the White House

    Ep. 65 | Inside Trump's Ukraine Peace Strategy: From Alaska to the White House
    Aug 19 2025

    Hey friends! We're back with another episode where we break down everything the media got wrong about Trump's historic weekend of diplomacy. From the Alaska summit with Putin (complete with stealth bomber flyovers that had Vlad's eyes bugging out) to the unprecedented White House meeting with EU leaders and Zelensky, we're covering it all. Plus, Amanda Peterson joins us to dive deep into foreign policy, the sketchy Nvidia-China chip deal, and why nobody's talking about the brewing conflict in the Philippines. We'll also roast Chuck Todd's terrible takes, celebrate Zelensky finally wearing a suit, and update you on the Texas Democrats' latest theatrical performance. Buckle up – it's been a wild week and the media is still trash!


    Episode Highlights
    • Stealth Bomber Flex at Putin Meeting - Trump welcomed Putin to Alaska with B2 bombers flying overhead, sending a clear message that this wasn't exactly rolling out the red carpet.
    • Historic White House EU Summit - The largest gathering of heads of state in the Oval Office since 2003, proving this wasn't just Zelensky bringing his "wingmen" to protect him from big bad Trump.
    • The Nvidia-China Revenue Sharing Deal - A deep dive into why the US government is now taking 15% of Nvidia's China chip sales and what this means for the AI race.
    • Philippines-China Brewing Conflict - Amanda breaks down the dangerous "gray zone" tactics in the South China Sea that could spark the next major conflict before Taiwan.
    • Subway Sandwich Assault in DC - Because apparently throwing a sandwich at a federal officer and running away like a coward is now considered resistance.

  • Ep. 64 | Trump-Putin Alaska Meeting, Nvidia Revenue Sharing, and the Philippines-China Problem

    Ep. 64 | Trump-Putin Alaska Meeting, Nvidia Revenue Sharing, and the Philippines-China Problem
    Aug 14 2025
    Meseidy and Rachel are back with foreign policy queen Amanda Peterson to break down the biggest geopolitical moment of Trump's second term - his high-stakes meeting with Putin in Alaska tomorrow. We're diving deep into what this means, why Alaska (hello, former Russian territory!), and whether Zelensky calling for more sanctions is the dumbest political move of 2025.But wait, there's more! We're unpacking Trump's genius tariff strategy that's apparently just now being discovered by the Washington Post (eye roll), the weird Nvidia-China chip deal that has us all feeling icky about government-corporate partnerships, and why the Philippines might be where World War III actually starts (spoiler: it's not Taiwan).Plus, Amanda breaks down why Biden's Ukraine strategy was basically "here's how to finance your war" and we react to the most pathetic federal crime of the year - the Great Subway Sandwich Assault of DC. Because nothing says "resistance" like chucking a mediocre sandwich at a federal officer and running away like a toddler.Fair warning: Rachel mysteriously disappears halfway through due to technical difficulties, but don't worry - she's there in spirit and we pretend everything is normal because that's how we roll.Connect with AmandaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amandatalksgeopoliticsX: https://x.com/amandatalks__Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandatalksgeopoliticsYoutube: https://youtube.com/@amandatalksgeopoliticsSubstack: Amanda TalksTrue Crime Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dont-waste-this-f-cking-podcast/id1757463535Episode HighlightsTrump-Putin Power Play in Alaska - Why meeting on former Russian territory that's now US soil is the ultimate diplomatic flex and what it signals about America's new position of strength.The Washington Post's "Shocking" Discovery - Media finally realizes Trump's tariff deals involve more than trade deficits, because apparently they've been asleep for four years while his advisors explained this repeatedly.Nvidia's Sketchy Government Partnership - The 15% revenue sharing deal with the feds over China chip sales that has everyone feeling uncomfortable about corporate-government coziness.Biden's Ukraine Strategy Exposed - How the previous administration basically gave Putin a playbook for financing his war while providing just enough aid to keep the conflict going indefinitely.The Subway Sandwich Federal Crime - DC resistance reaches peak patheticness as DOJ employee throws sandwich at federal officer, gets felony charges, and loses his job over the lamest assault ever recorded.Listen Ad FreeLove what you’re hearing and want even more?
