This episode of the Shawn Ryan Show features Michael T. Lester, a former Marine Corps combat pilot and U.S. Naval Academy graduate, discussing his disillusionment with U.S. foreign policy. Lester, author of a book offering a non-partisan analysis, argues that repeated negative outcomes in international affairs are systemic, driven by an "imperial playbook" involving regime change, sanctions, proxy wars, and economic control. He connects foreign policy to domestic narrative management and applies his framework to current events in Ukraine, Gaza, and Venezuela. The discussion encourages an honest reckoning with U.S. global actions and the perception of the U.S. as an antagonist from a global viewpoint.
