Taking Your Questions for Your Weekly Q&A!

Hey @everyone I will be taping your weekly Q&A tomorrow evening Moscow time 08/04/26. If you have any questions for me, please post them here or on the Discord Community in the Weekly Q&A chennel.
What do you think of these Friday US/Iran negotiations? Do they have a chance? Araghchi's letter said they will work off the 15 point US and the 10 point Iranian proposals. I assume both Iranian reparations and US demands for disarmament both get nixed. Iran and Oman get transit fees on Hormuz in lieu of reparations at a guess. Basing? No idea. Many of them are wrecked, the important equipment is destroyed and takes years to replace and the US basing strategy has been ridiculously asinine for more than a decade.

Taking Your Questions for Your Weekly Q&A!

Hey @everyone I will be taping your weekly Q&A tomorrow evening Moscow time 01/04/26. If you have any questions for me, please post them here or on the Discord Community in the Weekly Q&A chennel.
You frequently rely on sources like Rebar, Armchair Warlord, DD Geopolitics. Entirely reasonable, and clear you trust them. And we trust you to use them
sceptically and accurately. It’s why we support you (money well spent) and
not the mainstream who maintains BS like Ukraine is winning, or is just one more taxpayer funded offensive away from
turning momentum around, despite every morning when we wake up, Ukraine is a
little smaller than it was the night before.
Your sources - how well can you trust them? What do you know about their own
info pipelines, particularly those closest to operational realities and frontline conditions, and how do they
substantiate sensitive data such as missile/drone usage or stockpiles, which would be highly restricted? 
Do you ever reflect on this? Have there been notable
inaccuracies or blunders that warn you to be more cautious? And given that some
of these analysts appear to be Russian, how do you evaluate their credibility
when it comes to Iran?
Can you talk about the B-52s having free reign over Iran - the millions in gravity bombs in US arsenals are now to be used to bomb the country for years thus completing the sociocide?
Love you guys! I didn’t know you knew each other, but I’ve listened to you each on separate podcasts with great enthusiasm. Please keep up the great work you do and keep speaking out!
