Special Edition, feat. Malcom Kyeyune: Helene Is A Disaster, The Foam Dome Bursts

Multipolarity

Something a little bit different.

In a crowded news week, we’re bringing you only two stories - but three hosts.

Katrina, Sandy, Helene. In the annals of hurricane disasters, the latest storm is looking like it might post a new high score on the leaderboard. But the response has been little short of a new low score from the creaking US federal bureaucracy.

Malcom Kyeyune has been tracking the fallout. He thinks it’s the perfect example of an end of empire US elite prioritising foreign aid over domestic help.

Finally, not long after the bombs fell over Lebanon, the Iranian bombs began to fall over Tel Aviv. And no information blackout could hide the multiple online clips of strikes.

It was fine for Hamas bottle rockets, but now that big regional players are showing their technological hand, the Iron Dome seems more like a porcelain potty.

But beyond the he-said she-said of the Israeli wars. Is there something seismic happening here?

Are we in fact witnessing a massive real-time evolution in the eternal balance between missile defence and missile attack?
