A podcast dedicated to discussing all things foreign affairs and military conflict and the histories thereof. Join me as I present today’s headlines and give you the “so what” that comes from decades of military intelligence and law enforcement investigative experience. We will even have interviews with military leaders, historians, and educators along the way. If you want more than the evening news, but less than a college course, you’ve come to the right podcast.

Ep 39: U.S. World Police? (Part 3 with LTC Stephen Totter)
Wednesday Dec 04, 2024
Wednesday Dec 04, 2024
Welcome to another episode of Headlines and History with Jon Molik. This week we have a special guest returning to the show: LTC Stephen Totter. For those that have been with us since the start, you will remember LTC Totter joining us to discuss his time in Iraq, his views on the international order, and even some advice in the real estate world. This week we have him back to talk about the United States' role in policing the world, who it benefits, who it hurts, and if such activity should even occur at all. We cover events from World War I through today as we dig into the pros and cons of U.S. global intervention. In fact, our conversation went so well we had to split it into two episodes. So, enjoy this first half of our discussion and be sure to join us next week for the second. Enjoy!
