On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton, whose security protection was revoked by the US president this week. He discusses the danger to his life after his security protection was voided, why Donald Trump forced Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire deal in Gaza, why he believes Israel must go after Iran’s nuclear program now, and why he believes Israel’s strikes on Tehran’s ballistic missile production facilities have crippled Iran. In the second half of the interview, he discusses the victory of HTS in Syria and the threat of a terrorist state emerging there, his continuing call for regime change to depose Iran’s leaders despite Iran’s economic integration with BRICS, Donald Trump’s view of the world as a ‘long line of deals’ and what his desire to bring the Ukraine proxy war to an end means for Kiev, why Vladimir Putin views Donald Trump as an ‘easy mark’ and will take advantage of his personal approach with world leaders, Trump’s focus on Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal, Trump’s demand for European NATO members to spend 5% of GDP on defense, and much more.

Twice a week, award-winning journalist Afshin Rattansi and his team go underground to cover geopolitics and current affairs from a perspective you won’t find in the mainstream media, with some of the most high-profile guests.
