Five Years Living Inside a Movie: Trump, Covid, Assassination Attempts, and Now Drones

from The Joe Rogan Experience | The Tim Dillon Show #422 · #422

3 min

Tim recaps the chaotic run of events from Trump's first win through Covid, Biden's decline, assassination attempts, and now drones and China tensions, wondering if it's all connected.

In this bit7 moments
  • Tim hopes Trump can bring peace but doubts how that would work without reopening communication channels that Biden closed.
  • The National Security State figures like Blinken and Sullivan take orders from unknown people above them, pursuing consensus geopolitical goals without public knowledge.
  • Overthrowing Assad was a long-standing strategic goal for the US and Israel despite the instability that followed.
  • After removing Assad, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda moved into Syria, leaving no good Western Democratic options in the region.
  • Iran was surprisingly progressive before the US and Britain orchestrated a coup, a historical mistake that gives them reason to resent America.
  • The recent drone sightings turn out to be out-of-focus stars, not a foreign threat.
  • Tim concludes the drone panic is overblown—everything's fine except for the Syria situation Biden created.
