Secrets, Strategy & Shadow Wars | Suzanne Parry: The Cold War’s Lessons for Today
In this thought-provoking conversation, host Joe Steagall welcomes Suzanne Parry, a former U.S. arms control negotiator who helped shape the Gorbachev-era disarmament talks and now writes historical fiction that feels more relevant than ever.
Drawing on her novel The Communist’s Secret, Suzanne explores how Cold War ideology, misinformation, and power struggles echo through today’s headlines — from Russia’s war in Ukraine to Iran and Israel’s tense standoff.
Listeners will learn:
Why the Cold War never really ended — it just evolved
How authoritarian governments weaponize truth and media
What Suzanne’s firsthand experience at the Pentagon taught her about negotiating with the enemy
How fiction can preserve truth when facts are politicized
Whether you’re a history buff, policy junkie, or just someone trying to understand our world, this episode is for you.

Feminism often overlooks men's rights and issues.
Men and women should be seen as interdependent, not competitors.
The male movement aims to create a balanced discussion about gender roles.
Societal expectations can lead to feelings of emasculation in men.
The draft system highlights gender inequality in responsibilities.
Domestic violence affects both genders, yet men are often overlooked as victims.
Financial incentives can perpetuate gender divides and stereotypes.
Open dialogue is essential for addressing gender issues.
Challenging the status quo is necessary for progress.

While opposed to the bombing, Trump does have the power to conduct attacks of this nature.
22 Jun 2025
00:02:35
Hello everyone,
Folks questioning this action by President Trump and calling it constitutional need to remember that Presidents as far back as JFK have done things of this nature without authorization from Congress, the president has some authority to do this. See Iraq and bill clinton, Obama and Yemen etc.
Thank you,
Joe

Hello everyone,
Iran has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz a vital shipping lane for oil supplies, this will drive up oil futures which will hurt the middle class and poor in America significantly if it does. Inflation has been cooling, this action could reignite a new round of inflation. I pray that it does not.

Hello everyone,
The current conflict with Iran is not the US' war, this conflict was started by Israel and we have been suckered into it. I am all for Israel protecting their own country, they have a right to exist. I'm not even opposed to selling them weapons to protect themselves, but we should not be involved in their war!
