1/200 S2E198 - Myth Busting the US-Israel war on Iran
07/05/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
Multiple justifications for the illegal war of aggression on Iran have been put forward by the US and Israel: from supporting Iranian protesters, to regime change, to preventing nuclear weapons, to reopening the Strait of Hormuz—a waterway that was already open prior to the war. Many of these talking points have been repeated by the NZ government. So how do we separate fact from propaganda? And what myths are keeping us from clearly understanding this war? Join the panel for an up-to-date breakdown of the war that’s already reshaping our world, featuring Kyle Church (1/200), Gabriella Brayne (Anti-War Aotearoa), Dr Mahdis Azarmandi (Peace and Conflict Scholar), and Eugene Doyle (Geopolitical Writer and and host of solidarity.co.nz).
This webinar was streamed live at 7pm Thursday 30 April NZT on YouTube.

02/05/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
Our Prime Minister seems to have a different position to our government and Foreign Minister on the biggest political issue - Israel & USA's war on Iran. Meaningful Members' Bills in parliament are a breath of fresh air. The right wing attack Maiki Sherman for saying slurs at the Finance Minister's event. Trump racks up a third assassination attempt.

1/200 S2E196 - The USA and Imperial Decline
01/05/2026 | 1h 22 mins.
The aims of the illegal war waged by the US and Israel in Iran seem to be failing, but does this indicate a failure of Empire? We discuss the differences between the US as a state, the Empire as a system and the ways seemingly disastrous failures, past and present, have tended to consolidate power for those at the top, rather than lead to significant imperial decline.
