    Unconditional Surrender or Else? Trump on the Brink of War | Mike Drop Episode 245
    Jun 25 2025
    The war in Afghanistan didn’t end when the last C-17 lifted off from Kabul. That was just the beginning of the fallout. It was a trillion-dollar failure, and that failure didn’t just disappear—it sent shockwaves across the Middle East. Now, with Israel and Iran staring each other down and the world edging closer to full-blown war, we’re seeing the cost of the Global War on Terror in real time. On this episode of Mike Drop, I sit down with Navy SEAL and Afghanistan vet Jensen Larsen—someone who was there, who saw the writing on the wall years ago. Together, we pull no punches. We break down how the U.S. exit from Afghanistan wasn’t just a tactical blunder—it was a green light for our enemies. This isn’t about politics. It’s about reality. Washington failed. The signs were there. Jensen saw them. And if you think the worst is behind us, think again. What’s coming next could make Afghanistan look like a warm-up. ---------- #sponsored IDEO U Get 15% Off at www.ideou.com/mikedrop TEAM DOG FOOD, TREATS & SUPPLEMENTS Be Your Dog’s Hero: Veteran-owned by a former Navy SEAL and Special Operations K9 Trainer, Team Dog provides a complete diet of science-backed premium dog food, treats, and supplements to optimize your dog’s health, forged from rigorous standards and real-world expertise. https://www.teamdog.shop TEAM DOG ONLINE TRAINING Mike Ritland – a former Navy SEAL & Special Operations K9 trainer – shares his simple and effective dog training program to build trust and control with your dog.

If your an Alfa male in search of a podcast that has useful and relevant content and applies to today’s world Mike Drop is it. Mike does a great job shutting up and letting the guests speak! Mike asks the right questions to get his guests talking, I have heard every podcast and they are all good. One may think that a Navy Seal would be a moronic knuckle dragger but Mike is a very smart, and witty host and if you don’t like it, choke yourself.

Well worth the listen

Always has a guest with a story/view point that you can relate to whether you agree with the guest or not. Mike has a real no B.S. view on life and events but seems to genuinely care. When it comes to dogs training and behavior I don’t think there are many better. I always recommend him to others and I recommend him to you.

Very good show
