Breaking History Ep. 98: Golden Dome Gambit and the Theatre of War

In this episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost dissect the increasingly bizarre geopolitical chessboard, with a focus on Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome”, a space-based missile defense system that’s drawing fire from Russia, China, and North Korea. The duo questions whether this grandiose plan is a legitimate defense strategy or a high-stakes narrative ploy designed to shift global attention and accelerate resolution through rhetorical escalation.

They explore the possible kabuki theatre behind Trump's provocative language about Putin, suggesting Trump’s public anger may be part of a broader strategy to neutralize warmongers and hijack the global narrative. Ghost connects the dots between Trump’s media tactics and Sun Tzu’s art of misdirection, while Matt takes a historical deep dive into U.S. encirclement strategies, NATO expansion, and the shadow influence of ancient imperial models like the Athenian Golden Age, ironically echoed by King Charles’ pageantry in Canada.

With talk of nuclear brinkmanship, elite cults, British monarchy theatrics, and the mythmaking machine of modern empire, this episode is a dense but entertaining breakdown of power, propaganda, and the stories we’re told to believe. Buckle up, it’s part geopolitics, part theater, and all Badlands.
