Trump's Iran reversal: What it means for U.S. credibility
2026-03-10 | 14 mins.
Sean Speer and Rudyard Griffiths discuss President Trump's apparent reversal on the Iran conflict, just days after launching military action. They examine the implications of Trump's inconsistency for U.S. credibility and global deterrence, arguing this represents his fourth major policy "taco" alongside China, Russia, and Greenland. They also explore the moral costs of the conflict, the opportunity costs of American unreliability, and whether fears about Trump being an existential threat to Canada are overstated.

Lawrence of Arabia: War, betrayal, and the birth of the modern Middle East
2026-03-09 | 37 mins.
Veteran war correspondent Scott Anderson discusses his book "Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East" live at the Royal Canadian Military Institute. Anderson explores the eccentric T.E. Lawrence's transformation from British intelligence officer to a rebel fighting mercilessly for Arab independence, his pioneering guerrilla warfare tactics in the desolate desert, and his ultimate betrayal through the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement. The interview examines Lawrence's conflicted loyalties, his rejection of British imperialism, and how the post-WWI partition of the Middle East planted seeds of war that continue to be felt today. This episode was taped live on February 11, 2026, as part of the RCMI's military history night series.
