🎙️ EP#332 | GUEST | Breaking News & Broken Narratives w/ Ethan Levins
This week on Deep Shallow Dive, Ray Doustdar is joined by rising geo-political commentator Ethan Levins, known for his sharp takes and fiery delivery across social media. Tuning in from Europe, Ethan brings international perspective to the explosive situation brewing between Israel and Iran, dissecting the motives, misinformation, and military realities few are willing to confront. From nuclear ambiguity to aerial domination, this is a no-holds-barred breakdown of a crisis that could reshape the Middle East.
The episode dives deep into the geopolitical chessboard, where Ethan claims Israel’s long-term regional agenda is nearing its final phase. He pulls back the curtain on how historical events—from Iraq to Syria to today’s airstrikes—fit a 20-year pattern, all while shedding light on the information vacuum many Americans are caught in. Ray and Ethan challenge official narratives, spotlighting suppressed truths around blackmail, foreign lobbying, and the financial machinery that fuels endless war.
But the episode doesn’t stop at Israel-Iran. Ethan unleashes a blistering and thoroughly researched monologue on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, tracing it back to the 2014 U.S.-backed coup and the Western expansion of NATO. The two pull apart the mainstream story and lay out what most legacy outlets won’t say: why the war is far from unprovoked and why peace may never come unless the real motivations are acknowledged. If you want news that makes you think, this episode is for you.
