Has any movement collapsed more completely than MAGA? In this episode of Colonial Outcasts, we examine Trump’s stunning reversal on every key populist promise: escalation in Ukraine, saber-rattling toward Iran, backing Israel-first policy, and promoting a ballooning Pentagon budget. With bipartisan support for more war and sanctions, Trump now openly threatens Russia with ultimatums and long-range strikes—an aggressive pivot cheered on by neocons like Lindsey Graham and think tanks like the Atlantic Council.

We break down the fantasy of secondary sanctions, the economic impossibility of isolating Russia, and how Trump’s foreign policy is now indistinguishable from the unipolar imperial doctrine of his predecessors. From NATO expansion to the looming confrontation in Lebanon, we connect the dots between the collapsing facade of MAGA and the emerging Axis of Upheaval—a global order driven by elite panic and escalating militarism.

We also take a critical look at the Atlantic Council and Chatham House as mouthpieces for the military-intelligence elite shaping this next phase of global conflict.

Hello and Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that doesn’t pay wall that doesn’t Paywall it’s primary content… unlike Reuters, who this week decided to introduce a 1 dollar a week paywall for the first time ever, and get ready for that to go up next fiscal year.

We are gathered here today with our regular geopolitical contributor, Elina Xenophontos, to talk about the Gaza ceasefire farce, the impending resumption of war in Lebanon, the push to secure the entire Levant for western interests in order to encircle Iran before it attacking again - and then tying all of this into the recent BRICS summit which concluded on Monday.

Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the unapologetically anti-imperialist podcast where we break down how Operation Excalibur — an ICE/National Guard raid on LA’s MacArthur Park — connects to Netanyahu's "voluntary migration" speech at the White House.

Governments learn from each other — and this week, we're watching that play out in real-time.📄 We examine leaked National Guard documents, dissect the media framing, and expose how militarized policing and state violence are converging under a unified imperial agenda.
