About this episode
We break down the fallout from the Munich Security Conference, the growing strain between the U.S. and Europe, and what it means for NATO’s future. We also dive into the Iran talks and the U.S. military buildup in the region, asking whether diplomacy still has a chance or if conflict is becoming inevitable.Andy's article: https://warontherocks.com/2026/01/gaza-and-the-conduct-of-urban-war-civilian-harm-risk-and-responsibility/Montana Security Conference ??https://mi1.suitsandspooks.com/Support the show on Patreon:??https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseSubscribe to our new newsletter!!!!https://teamhousepodcast.kit.com/joinNew merch, patches, and stickers! ??https://theteamhouse-shop.fourthwall.comCheck out Mick's new podcast here:??Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/pub-and-porch-applied-stoicism/id1836955475Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1k3QPmkAMwnGJxMLDwUSSd?si=n6piIu8XRcag1Z0K43A3bQYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@UCd0Hq6QFk8CoTu5j-VU0Ong Find Mick Mulroy here: Fogbow ??https://fogbow.com/Lobo Institute ??https://www.loboinstitute.org/Twitter ??https://x.com/mickmulroy?s=21&t=-Ze3F_Ix2vlJ18KFvORTCALinkedIn ??https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-patrick-mulroy-31198b52/Bluesky ??https://bsky.app/profile/mickmulroy.bsky.socialMick’s publications ??https://www.loboinstitute.org/publications/publications-of-michael-mick-patrick-mulroy/Find Marc P here:https://x.com/MpolymerFind Andy Milburn here: Twitter ??https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fandymilburn8LinkedIn ??https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmilburn2023Substack ??https://amilburn.substack.com/Andy’s book ??https://www.amazon.com/When-Tempest-Gathers-Mogadishu-OperationsBluesky ??https://bsky.app/profile/andy-milburn.bsky.socialFind Jason Lyons here: LinkedIn ??https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-lyons-666873316?uBluesky ??https://bsky.app/profile/bgsilverback73.bsky.social"Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio"00:02 Start03:15 Munich Security Conference: Rubio vs Vance, U.S.–Europe tensions15:20 Can Europe go it alone?
