On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by former Navy SEAL and the man who killed Osama bin Laden, Rob O’Neill, for a deep dive into today’s escalating global conflicts. They discuss the military operations behind Operation Epic Fury, the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, and the broader geopolitical strategy involving Iran, China, and Russia.

Tudor and Rob also discuss media narratives, national security threats at home, and what these conflicts mean for America’s future.
From covert missions to the global chessboard of power politics, this conversation breaks down the strategy behind the headlines and what Americans should understand about the rapidly shifting world order.

What do the fall of Venezuela’s Maduro regime and the war with Iran mean for China?
On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa is joined by China expert and bestselling author Gordon Chang to break down the geopolitical ripple effects of Operation Epic Fury and President Trump’s foreign policy moves.
Chang explains how China has relied on Iran and Venezuela as strategic proxies, why Chinese weapons and defense systems have failed against U.S. and Israeli forces, and how losing discounted oil from those regimes could hit China’s struggling economy.
They also dive into the biggest question: Does this make China more or less likely to invade Taiwan? Chang analyzes Xi Jinping’s political vulnerabilities, the turmoil inside China’s military leadership, and the growing risk of conflict with the United States.
Plus, they discuss China’s surveillance state, potential internal unrest, and why this moment could be a turning point in the global balance of power.
