1:01:48Now PlayingIn this episode of Colonial Outcasts, we’re joined by Elina Xenophontos to break down one of the biggest narratives circulating right now: that the United States is executing some kind of grand strategy to preserve the petro-dollar through global energy blockades, military escalation, and economic warfare.
We’re here to challenge that idea.
From the escalating tensions with Iran to the deployment of additional carrier strike groups, the so-called “blockade,” and ongoing threats of further military action, we take a hard look at what’s actually happening—and whether any of it resembles a coherent long-term plan.
Is this 4D chess… or something much simpler?
We discuss:
The reality behind the US “blockade” of Iran
Why the petro-dollar “master plan” theory doesn’t hold up
Military escalation and contradictions in US strategy
The role of chaos, miscalculation, and short-term decision making
How online narratives can overestimate state competence
If you’ve been hearing that everything is part of a carefully orchestrated imperial strategy—this episode is for you.
