🎙️ EP#291 | DSD | Wesley Clark, War Plans & the Iran PlaybookIn this eye-opening episode, we revisit a powerful 2007 interview with General Wesley Clark that has never felt more relevant. The Deep Shallow Dive unpacks Clark’s bombshell claim about a post-9/11 Pentagon memo outlining plans to topple seven countries—including Iraq, Syria, and ultimately Iran. Fast-forward to 2025, and this episode explores how much of that blueprint has quietly come to life, prompting hard questions about America’s foreign policy intentions and the recurring patterns across administrations.Host [name] draws striking parallels between George W. Bush’s neocon agenda and today’s Trump administration, warning that we may be heading toward a new conflict with Iran under eerily familiar pretenses.
