Danny Haiphong is joined by Mark Sleboda and Stanislav Krapivnik. He says sirens sounded at three RAF bases, including Lakenheath, after suspected drones, while the Mossad chief met Trump and Netanyahu keeps pressing to restart the war on Iran.
Sleboda says Washington is still moving between bad options, with limited stocks of Tomahawks and JASSMs. The Theodore Roosevelt is due within a few days.
Nvidia Gate is starting to look a lot like Russiagate. New reporting claims Marco Rubio rewrote a CIA report to help topple Jensen Huang and push the China hawks' agenda.
Alex Christoforou goes through the Bessent and Lutnick feud over MegaSpeed, Europe's team of seven E5 negotiators for the Russia talks, and the Kremlin line that Europe was never invited, despite what Kushner and Witkoff promised. Putin is demanding that NATO roll back to 1997.

The episode looks at the largest collection of tridactyl specimens found near the Nazca Lines in southern Peru, including two new bodies given to doctors and forensic experts from three countries, and a large head from the same finds.
The narrator says San Luis Gonzaga University in Ica, under rector Dante Calderón, has taken custody of the bodies known as the Nazca mummies. With Jaime Maussan, the team pressed the custodians to hand them over so researchers could separate authentic remains from ritual dolls, and they met Peru's Ministry of Culture.

Andrei Martyanov says the only thing NATO thought it could do, it cannot. He says the US edge left is ISR passed to Ukraine, and that American doctrine still rests on a massed air and missile strike whose conditions no longer hold.
Richard Wolff tells Glenn Diesen that the competition between the United States and China is over, and that China has won. He calls the high-tech buildout the largest single bet in the history of American capitalism, ahead of electricity and the railroads, and says investors are already shorting those companies in case the bubble bursts.
He also discusses why the US is increasingly likely to answer that loss with military power.

Seyed M. Marandi tells Nima Alkhorshid that the IRGC reported hitting an MQ-1 in southern Iran, and that Iranian air defenses have hit 17 MQ-1s and 56 MQ-9s so far. He says the drones fly from Arab states on the Persian Gulf into Iranian airspace to map anti-ship missiles.
The Iranian Navy reported an oil tanker struck a naval mine in the south of the Strait of Hormuz, in an area it calls prohibited. Marandi says Iran has hit ships harder since the US midterms, with mines, anti-ship missiles, and heavy drones, and that some of those ships sink.
SpaceWeatherNews says November 14 was an extremely quiet solar day, with large Earth-facing filaments and developing sunspots that are not yet eruptive. Tami's note, shared with Craig Stone, finds equatorial geoid anomalies on Mars like Earth's LLSVPs.
A new solar-forcing paper ties cosmic energy to business optimism. Superflare dates in the 600s, 700s, and 900s fall about 110 years apart, and the show says the 800s event left no record on Earth. The Grok Bot chart puts modern, medieval, and Roman warm periods below Younger Dryas and Dansgaard-Oeschger events in both speed and magnitude.
Glenn Diesen asks Larry Johnson about the possibility of a larger war between Europe and Russia, and between Europe and Iran.
Johnson says the US is negotiating to end both wars while still claiming to mediate a Russia-Ukraine conflict, and that Wednesday's Kremlin meeting left the cameras on while Witkoff and Kushner spoke with Putin.

Putin handed Witkoff and Kushner his toughest terms yet in Moscow, demanding NATO return to its 1997 force configuration and warning that any foreign troops in Ukraine would be legitimate targets.
Alex Christoforou goes through the Ushakov readout, the Konstantinovka challenge to Zelensky, the EU scramble between Macron, Merz, Costa, Stubb and Kaja Kallas to become chief negotiator, and why the Nvidia spy story around Jensen Huang is falling apart.

Larry Johnson tells Danny Haiphong that the USS George H.W. Bush has gone 187 days without a port call, with the Navy extending the deployment at least another year, and he puts the chance of a new phase of the Iran war by November 18 or 19 at about 80%.
Danny says Iran fired ten missiles at US warships with no reported result, and that Iran says it hit a US Army early-warning radar in Bahrain. Theodore Roosevelt is due within about four days, with the Bush and the George Washington.
Putin has brought back the December 2021 draft treaties and is demanding NATO pull its forces back to the German border, turning the Kremlin talks with Witkoff and Kushner into something close to an ultimatum.
Alexander Mercouris goes through the Ushakov briefing and Peskov's conditions for Europe, asks whether Kushner is misrepresenting Putin on European participation, and explains why Antonio Costa and the EU chief negotiator split leave Europe with no seat at the table.

Luke Reagan tells Danny Jones he found an undocumented mound complex in Louisiana, about 970 yards long, which he reads as an ancient city of packed-earth platforms and pyramid mounds in swamp land.
A state GIS survey did not have the site. The owner said no archaeologist had asked about it, and Reagan will not publish the location.

Chas Freeman tells Nima Alkhorshid that Iran's strike on a US-linked radar in Bahrain answers an attack on a communications tower in southern Iran, inside a blockade and an economic war of attrition over the Strait of Hormuz.
He says the stalemate is unstable, with no diplomacy and tit-for-tat strikes, while Netanyahu keeps pressing Trump to attack and Israel's military chief and intelligence agencies oppose it.
Armando Mema, a Finnish politician, tells Glenn Diesen that Finland's post-war neutrality has been replaced by NATO's longest front toward Russia, a 1,340 km border.

Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou say Putin told Witkoff and Kushner in the Kremlin to pull forces back to Germany, dismantle NATO structures in Eastern Europe, return to the 1998 line, and raise the December 2021 demands.
They say Kushner's claim that Russia agreed to include the Europeans has no Russian confirmation. On Jensen Huang, they say administration and intelligence reports found no evidence he was a Chinese spy, and that the firing began as a narrative.

Andrei Martyanov says the Abu Dhabi talks were mainly about European security, not Ukraine, and that Russia's position on territory is unchanged. He says Europe stays out until Moscow lets it in, and that France is pressing Germany on long-range missiles because a launch from NATO territory could bring a nuclear response.
He cites an El Mundo report that Europe is starting winter with minimal gas reserves, while Russian LNG diverted to Asia sells at about four times the old contract price. He says those contracts, including Spain's, end in 2027.
Alexander Mercouris says there is no end to the war in Ukraine unless Russia wins outright or the United States and Europe accept a new European security architecture. He says Sergey Lavrov and Vladimir Medinsky made that point in Abu Dhabi, and that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff then flew to Moscow to ask Vladimir Putin to step back.
From the Kremlin's preliminary remarks, he says Putin is refusing. The meeting looked icy, Medinsky was in the room, and Putin rejected gray zones and foreign troops in Ukraine. He also covers the Konstantinovka evacuation offer, Europe's lack of a chief negotiator, and strikes on Kiev and Zaporozhye.

Alex breaks down the Axios scoop, why this mirrors the Minsk playbook, Zelensky mocking Trump over Greenland in Denmark, Israel preparing a possible Iran strike, and the Nvidia board moving to oust Jensen Huang.

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are back in Moscow, asking Putin to resubmit a European security architecture he already handed to Biden back in 2021. In this episode we break down the Axios report, the hardline Russian positions coming out of the Abu Dhabi talks, and why this push for deescalation and a Ukraine ceasefire looks like a rerun of the Minsk agreements.
