This podcast interview features retired Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who served under Colin Powell, offering insights into US foreign policy decision-making. He reveals a US strategy of achieving global hegemony, highlighting the significant influence of the Secretary of Defence and the neoconservative movement, particularly after 9/11. Wilkerson also discusses the role of intelligence agencies, questioning their objectivity, and controversially posits that Israel serves as a tool of US foreign policy, rather than the reverse. Finally, he underscores the often overlooked influence of powerful, unelected advisors in shaping US foreign policy.
