War & Conflict with Preston Stewart

Check out the videos of your trucks at work from our current fundraiser here: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-fall-offensiveSomething is happening in Europe. Yesterday we had multiple nations warning about the possibility of a Russian escalation creeping into NATO and EU territory. These warnings aren’t new and one at a time isn’t anything special. But in the last 48 hours we’ve...

If interested, you can check out our Ukraine truck fundraiser here: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-fall-offensiveSo Ukraine is extending their gains in the east with some Russians acknowledging that everything gained since spring in that direction has been lost. We’ve also got some unique footage of a vehicle you all provided to a Ukrainian unit being used in frontline operation...

In a recent attack the US fired as many as 70 Patriots and more than a dozen THAAD interceptors trying to bring down 20 Iranian ballistic missiles. Some did the trick, others didn’t and it appears that a handful of strikes got through and damaged eight F-15s and one A-10. This is one of, if not the major challenge facing the United States in the war with Iran right now. Our interceptor inventory v...

So the Houthis just shot down a Saudi F-15 over northern Yemen, which is a bit of a problem. See the Houthis are on a tear right now. They’re digging in and solidifying their gains around the Bab-al-Mandeb strait, the Saudi backed Yemeni forces all but faded away, and Saudi Arabia’s partners, like the US, are showing no interest in getting involved. I can hear the argument that this sounds like a...

So the situation in Yemen is not good. The Houthis are solidifying their gains, Yemeni government troops sort of melted away and it doesn’t look like anyone is coming to help. At least not yet. Today we’re joined by Mohammed al-Basha, a middle east analyst and the founder of Basher Report Risk Advisory to discuss what’s going on. We get into why this kicked off now, how this ties into the US-Iran...

Last day of our merch collab with Dzyga's Paw! https://prestonstew.shop/collections/dzygas-pawUkraine just announced the first phase of a counteroffensive in the east. GEN Biletsky Commander of the 3rd Army Corps “Good news is coming, but for now, our actions require silence. The Russians have acknowledged these advances with one milblogger warning that these forces aren’t just scared conscripts,...

This is a big week in Washington D.C. as the House looks to pass the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026. So to unpack what’s going on here we’re joined today by Mykola Murskyj. Mykola is the Director of Advocacy at Razom for Ukraine and is going door to door right now in the House explaining to our Representatives what this bill is and isn’t.

Check out our fall fundraiser here: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-fall-offensivePolish jets were scrambled yesterday as Russia struck right along the border between Ukraine and NATO. I mean less than 1km from NATO territory leading the Ukrainian Foreign Minister to warn: “This is Putin’s terror “knocking” directly on the doors of the EU and NATO. Russian barbarians are at your...

Check out our fundraiser that supports Foxhound here: https://givebutter.com/Southern_FrontToday we’re talking with one of the newest drone units in Ukraine, Foxhound. We’re joined by Ben and Dingo, two foreign volunteers that recently stood up the group that is already conducting combat operations in some of the hottest sectors of the front. We get into this unique aspect of the Ukrainian militar...

The Houthis are on a roll in Yemen and the Saudi’s are struggling to stop them. The last 24-48 hours have been wild with the Houthis making their largest territorial gains in years to include the capture of islands in the middle of the Red Sea. Meanwhile, we’ve learned that the US has boots on ground in Saudi Arabia helping assist in their response but has turned down Saudi requests for direct mil...

25 years ago the United States suffered the deadliest terrorist attack in our history. Fortunately, we haven’t had to relive that horror due in large part to the many people who have dedicated their lives to counterterrorism. So today, we’re talking with two of them from the Soufan Center. Colin Clarke is the Executive Director and Clara Broekaert a research analyst and together they just edited a...

So the Houthis are kind of winning right now in Yemen. Just a few days ago we had regional analysts wondering if the Iranian backed group was on the verge of collapse, but we blink and they’ve just taken some very strategic territory. One local official summed up it by saying, “it’s really bad”. For Yemeni government forces that is, as the Houthis continue to advance. Sources:https://yemen.liveuam...

Check out our fundraiser to support these soldiers in the south: https://givebutter.com/Southern_FrontSo there’s a major issue in southern Ukraine. The soldiers don’t have enough fuel. Now they’re not completely out but right on that line. Some units have so little that troops are having to stay in position for months on end. That’s a problem. This affects everything from combat operations to trai...

Pretty significant strikes carried out yesterday between the US and Iran showing that we are, once again, in a spiral of escalation with some analysts warning that we’re on a path to return to full scale war. Looks like Iran fired missiles at US warships. The US responded by striking five Iranian oil tankers and then Iran fired 20 ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan. Sources:https://www.nyti...

This update is as of 0900 CDT, 08SEPT2026. Looks like the Yemen Civil War is back to full scale fighting as the Houthis kicked off an offensive in the south and launched missiles into Saudi Arabia leading the Yemeni government to counterattack saying they plan to wipe out the Houthis once and for all.

Overnight Ukraine struck two more oil refineries in Russia which might seem pretty normal at this point but according to a new assessment in the Wall Street Journal, the costs are really starting to add up. We also just had Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visit Moscow and Kyiv in a new push for peace. From what we can tell, the talks seem to have gone well, and it’s notable these two visited Ukrai...

In response to Iran firing missiles at two US warships in the Middle East, the US military just destroyed three Iranian oil tankers. This is actually a pretty big escalation in a few ways. First off, the launching missiles at our aircraft carrier is significant and not something we’ve seen in a while but then the US response was serious, actually sinking commercial vessels in this key waterway. Th...

Check out our truck fundraiser here: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-fall-offensiveTanks are still useful on the modern battlefield. I know that’ll get some folks fired up but look, when you talk to the people actually fighting the war, they want more tanks. That should be a pretty good sign. But also, we’re not seeing tanks scrapped, but rather technical and tactical adaptations...

Check out our truck fundraiser here: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-fall-offensiveSo you might have heard the news that Ukraine has declared the Russian skies closed to commercial aircraft. With Zelensky saying “There are no more safe moments in the sky over Russia” Now Putin didn’t handle this well, at all. I mean right away they referred to this as Ukraine threatening to kill...

While the US kicked off another wave of strikes in Iran last night, it’s pretty clear that our focus is using economic warfare to try to bring this war to a close. And as our guest today mentions, it’s worth noting that economic and military means aren’t mutually exclusive and in many cases can support the other. To help understand what we’re seeing on the economic side of this war, we’re joined t...

Looks like we’re back to war. This appears to be like more than a tit for tat response as the US carried out strikes for a few hours earlier today and the Iranian response, missile and drone attacks across the region, is still ongoing as of this recording. In turn we don’t have any solid battle damage assessments however the US says we went after a number of radar sites along the coast and Iran sa...

In recent months China and Russia have helped Iran to kill Americans. And that’s the focus of today’s conversation with Bradley Bowman where we get into how these countries have increased collaboration in recent years and the very real threat that poses to the United States and our Allies. Bradley is the senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of...

One of the most shocking leaks in recent years just came out from the Pentagon with multiple senior officials allegedly telling Secretary Hegseth that the war in Iran is unsustainable, but he’s not listening. We do have official and unofficial responses from the Pentagon where they’ve stated that this is just Trump Derangement Syndrome and that the Washington Post works for enemies of the United S...
